Might be an indication that there's enough interest for 1 game a week but not 2. But, that's still not bad at all. Edit: Would the CHCH broadcast have pulled some of the Hamilton numbers over? I'm not familiar enough with that market/station, so maybe the overall viewership wasn't that bad it just got split between the two stations.

Watchmen Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 22 hours ago, red card said: MLS in primetime involving 2 largest markets. In theory CBC has bigger reach but given their weak ratings for almost everything, it is doubtful. Track after CPL got 39k. News at 6 got 45k. Thinking about this a bit more (and in my own question about CHCH), I realized that at least in the Vancouver market the TFC-Whitecaps games were on TSN 4 and 5. That's a less common channel. Hell, I don't get it and had been streaming it instead. So, i don't think that the TFC/Whitecaps numbers are wholey accurate either. It also wasn't "primetime in two MLS markets", as it was the drive time in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, given the markets those MLS numbers seem low don't they? It's a bit lower than seen in recent years for TFC. Whitecaps ratings have fallen off in recent years, so more in line. But two Cdn teams together have typically pulled over 150k for English tv. Not in prime time in Vancouver but given more people working from home, somewhat less of an headwind. I think Caps being a listless team with lots of management issues is probably main reason why people didn't watch in their region. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, most have met it already and two others will have no problem meeting it. Forge has only played U21 Canadians for a total of 3 minutes. It would make for some interesting decisions if not for the high probability that they will be sitting pretty by their final match or two. It may be a small advantage for their last opponents on the schedule (Ottawa on 8/30 and Valour on 9/5) if they have to inject a bit more inexperience into the squad. Frankly, I think this number (and last year's) is much too low, but I'm glad it's there at all. Edmonton's total in the article doesn't add up -- not sure if the total is wrong or the player minutes listed. I just noticed a couple of the data points are wrong in that link. I don’t know if it is the minutes played for the individual players, or if it’s the total, but they don’t add up correctly for 2 teams. The sum of the minutes listed for HFX is 328, not 320 (very minor difference). The sum of the minutes listed for Edmonton is 267, not 534, which means they probably accidentally doubled 267 somehow. jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Some big games coming up that will go a long way towards deciding things. I think the next 2 games for HFX are against other teams in the hunt for the last 2 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No games on a Friday evening again?! Friday evening is usually the best time of the week for me to watch soccer. Kids are in bed, wife isn't dragging me off the couch to some social event and I am too tired from the week to feel like going out. If there were games on the west coast I'd stay up until 12 to watch two games. What is the reason to avoid Fridays? Is there another event that they are avoiding?

I think it just makes the scheduling easier for them. Its set up mid-week and weekend. Adding Friday would complicate it. Prior to everything going to shit York 9 did have a bunch of Friday games lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stouffvillain Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) A lot of fun over the next week. No one has locked up a spot yet and everyone has a game in hand on the top two. Think Forge and Cavalry maybe ran out of gas in their last games. I expect them to be razor sharp in the last two games. Remaining schedule for each team: 1. Cavalry - 10 pts (Pacific, York) 2. Forge - 8 pts (Ottawa, Valour) 3. York - 6 pts (Halifax, Edmonton, Cavalry) 4. Halifax - 5 pts (York, Valour, Ottawa) 5. Pacific - 5 pts (Cavalry, Ottawa, Edmonton) 6. Ottawa - 5 pts (Forge, Pacific, Halifax) 7. Valour - 4 pts (Edmonton, Halifax, Forge) 8. Edmonton - 1 pt (Valour, York, Pacific) EDIT: Cavalry & Forge can clinch this weekend if: Cavalry can clinch a berth in Round 2 with a win and a York/HFX draw. Forge clinch with a win over Ottawa + Pacific and Valour loses. Edited August 28, 2020 by Stouffvillain narduch, Kent and johnyb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC vs Impact happens at 8pm Friday. that's probably why there's nothing scheduled. But then again, with the unrest in the States right now games might not happen anyways.

Macksam Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think we can all agree the visual production value is great, minus the close up ground level shots where the green screen is visible on the fences...well blue screen technically in this situation. However, they should do what the BPL and eventually UEFA starting with the CL quarterfinals did and pump in some crowd atmosphere through the speakers...unless the sound system isn't up to par. Just utilize clips from the CPL opener last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
