MM3/MM2/MM Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 What time is the game? An evening game is great for me, I normally work Sundays (for @El Hombre I "work" at a winery, we don't produce box wines😎) El Hombre and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 7,133 in Hamilton tonight. Good numbers for the semis Kingston, johnyb, NVsoccer and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I imagine a fair few Forge supporters will make the trip. The late start seems silly. I assume there is CFL or something else earlier they want to avoid? I could definitely see 10k. Atletico will be going hard this week on promo to get even more people there plus there will be more travelling away supporters. The promo and visibility of the game will be everything this week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I wonder if they give the hosts of the first leg an extra week to sell tickets next season. I think the short window hurt us on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the short window hurt us on the island. If the league has 9 teams next season, I suspect they'll need an earlier start and a later finish to get all the regular season games in. In which case an extra week off during the playoffs seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one reason why the CPL match is on Sunday but I’m not sure why it starts at 6. If the RedBlacks had won last Friday, the winner of next week’s game would likely have made it to the playoffs, the loser would have been eliminated. That would have been a great Otttawa-Hamilton rivalry weekend. Wouldn’t be surprised if the attendance for the final is less than today’s. It was an absolutely perfect afternoon for soccer in Ottawa today. toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a craft/produce Market open until 3pm. Foot traffic and parking will be a problem. jordan, Treppy2 and JamboAl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Good attendance but imagine that attendance in say a 10000 seat stadium instead of a 22000 seat stadium. I understand why they play there but man if we could only have everyone in 5 to 10000 seat stadiums just imagine the atmosphere. Forge playing at that McMaster stadium Ron Joyce Field , it fits about 6000 add another 3000 seats to the other side and yesterdays 7000 attendance that place would have looked like a happening place and would have looked packed. First timers come to games and see a packed stadium and they are going to come again . It looks great live and looks great on TV . I understand why Hamilton, Ottawa and Winnipeg CPL teams play in these big stadiums but let’s be honest having packed smaller stadiums just gives the game a big event feel .

I also want a smaller stadium but I must say there was no lack of atmosphere attending the game in Hamilton and I'm sure the same could be said of Ottawa. It's fun thinking and debating about what we want and how to go about it. It's more fun actually going to the game though, even though we only averaged 3500 all season. It will take a couple decades of more and more asses in seats to get what we want. It is what it is. m-g-williams, johnyb, jonovision and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I’d love to see a 10k seater stadium in downtown Ottawa one day, favourably in LeBreton Flats but that will probably always be a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
