BuzzAndSting Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 First guy speaking at the “Virtual Home Opener” is Graeme Ivory, a guy who railed against the CPL in the dying days of the Fury. Bison44 and deschamp86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The intent is to sell out the south side of TD Place and as much of the north side as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 If/when the V Cup happens DC expects AO to be included. Kits are done, will be released along with merch “soon.” Mista seemed to indicate still only 14 players signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the silly stuff about this Ollie's hair or Kurt's cooking, which drives me nuts, the interview was fairly efficient. López is smart and I think he shows how they will bring positives of all sorts to the league. Surprising they are using the CPL scouting system, which he praised, so kudos to them. Then part of their own scouting. Good answers on the stadium not going to grass, with the other tenants, and if At Madrid comes for a friendly they are used to turf, playing Cup matches on it (I saw them play on field turf in an early Cup round in 2012). Says even the few days spent in Madrid were helpful. There is an odd bit where he explains he was an athlete and was affiliated with FC Barcelona, that is because FCB has many sports sections, and one is a track and field team. He also says he played for At Madrid academy but was a bad player, which would not have been true, he was probably just not good enough, that is all. The only question I missed hearing was if the current financial stress on the mother club will affect the At Ottawa project. ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was asked what the club will look like 10-20 years down the road, he just needed to say 20,000 plus supporters packed into TD Place on a bi-weekly basis. That's it. Not that long winded, disjointed description he went for. Visions have to be something they hope to attain in the future. I guess he kind of got that when he said something along the lines of to be on the same level as hockey and football but still.

Although there are veteran players on certain teams but still a league filled with young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 But there are some mid age ranged players along with the young and veteran players. So predominantly young with some veteran, but also some midrange although young and veteran players would be key. But you dont want to ignore older players while focusing only on young players as well as veterans.
