Rintaran Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Mahith Gamage was at the event and has provided some more in-depth coverage: https://northernstartingeleven.com/everything-need-fc-manitoba-winnipeg-developmental-pathway/ Basically, much like how Highlanders sold their USL2 rights to TFA Wilamette, WSA Winnipeg has sold their USL2 rights to FC Manitoba. WSA Winnipeg will continue to exist/compete, but only with the WSA North Stars (WPSL) and their MMSL teams. They're stepping down and wanted to see something at that level still exist, so FC Manitoba (who run Ital Inter SC in MMSL) is stepping up to the plate. It sounds like this is more than just a rebrand. My fingers are crossed this leads to some better results & further development by players in the region. Also, there is no official connection with Valour FC. Kent, BCM and johnyb 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 WSA PDL worked very closely with Valour. I hope to see the same from FC Manitoba. Lofty and Rintaran 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top cheese Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) I anticipate that the performance of this team will be the same as previous wsa teams if they continue with local players Edited July 28, 2020 by top cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I've followed Chill for quite a while, and something interesting here: as USL 2 expands, travel gets better. Chill and I think even Manitoba used to have to go to Des Moines, they went to Kansas City in the past even, long travel. Now they've consolidated a division with all US teams in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Bavarian is in Milwaukee, RKC is in Racine in southern Wisconsin, I think they've cut hours off road trips now with a tighter division. Expansion will do this: shorten average distances and make the longer road trips outliers instead of standard. Lesson for the CPL, League Ones, for sure.

jonovision Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I agree with your point generally, but Racine and Milwaukee are both longer drives from Winnipeg than Des Moines and Kansas City. Still, the new division is a better fit than being lumped in with mostly Illinois and Missouri clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I was calculating from Thunder Bay, so I am somewhat off topic. But in 2020 they had Peoria, Chicago, Kansas City and Green Bay in their division, Saint Louis too. And no team from Minnesota, while now they have three. Travel for both teams is much better this season, they used to go over 15 hours to St Louis and over 14 to Peoria, over 13 to Chicago.

jonovision Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I imagine FC Manitoba's 2023 schedule will resemble 2022: visit all of their American opponents in a single, time-compressed, trip. Not much to be done about it really, when the nearest opponent is 8 hours away. https://www.uslleaguetwo.com/schedule/team_instance/7213236?subseason=800197 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I'm surprised they play Wednesday games, Fridays. You'd think they'd have other jobs and a later Saturday eve or Sunday early afternoon would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why the season is short: to match the time the students are away from classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
