Don't people learn lessons - like the current uptick in cases and deaths in the UK after they relaxed restrictions? Take it up with the health experts.

And there's BIG heat on the sitting government so don't think there would be a very receptive response from the general public if a sporting event (bubble or no) were approved just now. That being said, I'm sure the Premier and Co. would love the idea. Have faith, we're coming out of this and opening up for business sell job. Hard pitch to make over the sound of helicopters airlifting patients to Ontario though. Late June/Canada Day? Hopefully things much improved by then. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we need to call it a bubble. They'll just be playing there I got a call from my mens league today and they're starting to organize things. They told me the expectation is that everything will be 100% normal MM3/MM2/MM and CDNFootballer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be dropping those travel restrictions to Vancouver Island by then? The only major problem with Victoria is if the time zone makes viewing in the rest of Canada harder. I suspect they'll have to pay three games every 8-10 days, which means weekday matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there aren’t going to be fans just play games earlier in the day.

We don’t really have to worry about excessive heat on the island June 15th up to 50 people for gatherings. From a sports perspective that was mentioned as spectators. July 1st no restrictions on gatherings(thats how I interpreted it). So it seems they can have fans since they won't get going until after July 1st More and more Ontario is looking like that Japanese guy out in the jungle still fighting the war 20 years later Edited May 30, 2021 by SpursFlu johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I don’t live in BC but I do work with staff in the province. The earliest that sports can go ahead with no restrictions on fans is Sept 7th. I underline the word, earliest. RS, nfitz, CDNFootballer and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no restrictions yes - as early as July 1st though the 50 fan limit will be expanded but no commitment on what that number may be. Even with say 1000 -2000 fans for Pacific FC the atmosphere will be 100 times better than the boring no fans allowed setup last year. Montreal Canadians game vs the Leafs yesterday was so much more exciting with even the small allowed crowd of 2500 imo.

I think your wrong. Or at least whovever your talking to is wrong. Im looking at the government doc and it says July 1st increased capacity indoor/outdoor events. Its not specific to amounts but June 15th is 50 so its at least 51. I also work with an event that deals directly with a city and they told me they had a conversation with the city and they feel they can go ahead in August Edited May 31, 2021 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I feel like Ontario might really loosen up if somehow the Leafs manage to win tonight to advance to the next round, then beat Winnipeg as well. If the Leafs are playing empty home games against American teams that have packed stadiums, the Ontario government just might hear enough of an uproar that they open up. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha.. im with it but think about what your saying. After 400 days of this bs and thats what does the trick. That would be hilarious.

Will they play cross border? or will the Leafs have to go down to the US to play the entire series. Either way, hope Montréal wins!

It's a good thing Colorado is so good and will probably win it all either way, that way we don't have to play the "what if" game with the disadvantages the Canadian semi finalist will have.
