dyslexic nam Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just filled out my volunteer form. I may be doing some running around for a team in isolation while here. Figured I should probably contribute. toontownman, Greatest Cockney Rip Off, Bdog and 15 others 12 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Going to be interesting to see how they set up the match times. Will Pacific play at 11pm local Time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) One piece of value this tournament could bring the league and players is a platform for selling on players. If a couple young players stand out and they can be moved on as a result. That would be huge for all involved and really justify the whole experience Edited August 7, 2020 by SpursFlu T_Bison and Mikmacdo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I expect we will get a big announcement on Monday for schedule and broadcasting. Do we even know If games will be on friday/sat/sun? Maybe there are two games on Saturdays that CBC have and sportsnet or tsn have picked up the other two every week. Even If it's two games a week on CBC that's 50% of the games. Hard decision to sign up for one soccer for 2 games a week at best. Not least when the highlights will likely be free. shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reaching out to the PEI Soccer Association (who are liaising with CPL) to see who I would ask if it is even possible.

It'd be great to get the players to pose for pics with you, as social media material. PM Jamie he may have a banner. Last summer when we went to the Women's WC I think David Bailey was supposed to have a banner but did not show with it. But then someone did, I think we had one in Montpellier that then travelled to the other games (really fuzzy about that). Again, check with Jamie. I would do a separate thread @dyslexic nam to catch their attention. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The president of PEI Soccer is asking for a pic and dimensions so we will see if it materializes (better than a flat out “no”). As for the social media I am not sure how much I will see the players. Right now I am interacting with Damian Rocke (Valour asst coach) and the bubble may prevent any sort of contact with the players. johnyb, Trois Reds, Stryker911 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game day is likely all controlled contractually, as all space is paid for by sponsors. But maybe a club you are working with would allow a gesture on our behalf, like in a training session. Think Valour players who have National team call-ups, for example, as a link to our support. Edited August 10, 2020 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I would def point out the non-profit/supporters nature of our group. May not work but worth a try. Just have to get hold of Jamie.

dyslexic nam Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Stopped by UPEI today to scout out a spot to try and watch some games live. Not sure if it will be possible but I will give it a try. Valour was getting a bit of practice time in while I was there. Work was also underway to get the broadcasting infrastructure set up.

Not sure if it is still a one man operation, but I suspect he is still in possession of things like banners etc. When I crashed at his place during a CMNT game in Toronto it was still very much V headquarters.
