Still two out of eight non-MLS quarter finalists this season so looks like there is still some way to go on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham didn't face an MLS side until the last round, and then won while up a man. Pittsburgh has two 1-0 wins against MLS opposition. That happens, just like it happens in all Cup competitions around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It is nice, though with the caveat that the game is free for season ticket holders. Still, hoping it's another good crowd this year and it's a nice payment to L1BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone here is thinking of going, you can support L1BC while doing so. Stryker911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Whitecaps post-game show, Vanni said he was hoping Ahmed would be back for the game on the 21st. So, won't be playing in the Final. Hinted it would be a WFC2 call up that gets a start, with the speculation it would be Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave us something different in attack, played well against York, and doesn’t expose us defensively like Yao/Hasal would. Certainly have to think it will be one of Coupland or Habibullah if it’s not Johnson. NVsoccer and Watchmen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingston Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Congratulations to the Whitecaps on their third championship. Total attendance for this year's tournament was just over 80 000 with an average attendance of just under 6200. Both of those numbers are at the very low end historically. All time total attendance for the tournament is now over 1.3 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Attendance for the game was announced at just over 20k, so that's at least $10k set aside to help next year's L1BC host (if they do) and $10k to help the L1BC women's teams. footballfreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only @Watchmen's good explanation, it'll continue to be a lower average the more CPL clubs we have and the more L1 teams are involved. Even the FA Cup, in this year's competition 2,016,000 attended 244 matches, 14,000 average. Far below EPL, below the Championship, above League One.

Kent Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Does anyone here know if season ticket holders for CF Montreal got the first home game included? I just noticed that their preliminary round game against Vaughan had a higher attendance than their semi final against Forge. There definitely were some games you wish would have had more fans. York United's game against Vancouver FC had fewer than 1000 fans (not to mention the Ottawa vs HFX game was hosted at York United's stadium, attendance doesn't look like it was reported). That was disappointing but it might even be more disappointing that York's next home game against the Whitecaps didn't even draw 2000 fans. TFC couldn't draw 20,000 against Montreal. I don't know what TFC's attendance has been like this season, but a Canadian Championship game against Montreal SHOULD be a big draw in my opinion (says the TFC fan that didn't go). It was an entertaining tournament though. TSS Rovers getting a historic win, one of the best set of penalties taken (Pacific vs Cavalry) followed by one of the worst set of penalties taken (Forge vs Atletico), and an outstanding final.

That's not a complaint, just a comment on more games being hosted in smaller stadiums this year. Probably not just the smaller stadiums but also the matchups. Back in the day, many of the smaller stadium matchups were still against MLS teams. So the smaller stadium would sell out or a big crowd. Now we've got Pacific hosting Cavalry on a random Thursday in April (not to pick on them specifically). It loses some of the appeal because it looks like just another league game.

Kent Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 So... I... um... I don't know what to say. I wouldn't have believed a thing like that happened if I didn't see it. And even after seeing it, I am half wondering if this is some next level AI generated video, because I feel like a human wouldn't come up with having Vanni Sartini singing with Nickelback with the Voyageurs Cup on stage. narduch and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
