Cavalry - 2023 Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Gaff usually just means somebody's house or flat (apartment) but maybe there's some added extra meaning around Inverness. Legally there would be no issue with him being with 16 year olds in Scotland because you can even get married at that age without parental consent but there would still be a very strong social stigma revolving around the concept of divide by two and add seven.

If the doing lines in a night club rumour from that tweet was being generally talked about in Dingwall it would help explain why he got loaned to Raith Rovers a month or so later. What maybe caught up with him is that a professional soccer player still has a level of anonymity among most people in Canada that will not be the case in Scotland where the sport is much more of an obsession than even hockey is in Canada.

Any worry that Concacaf would force Cavalry to move their Champions Cup home game if it's in February?

They often force Central American teams to play in the main National stadium as opposed to their normal home stadiums.

Yes I am. Hosting games in Calgary in February at Spruce Meadows isn't realistic, but where to move these games? Could play at MacMahon on the CFL field, which could have an Iceteca vibe to it. Bigger stadium too so you could sell more tickets and it might just be unique enough an event to get a solid draw of 10k or so. Would still feel pretty empty in a 35k stadium in the bitter cold, but Albertans are used to it.

Aside from that I cannot think of a sensible option. Play at Starlight stadium maybe?

Shome on the difference between FCE & Cavalry:

Maybe it was just the infrastructure for (CPL’s) FC Edmonton that wasn’t really set up properly,” Shome continued. “And maybe they didn’t build the club the right way, where financially, it didn’t make sense and they were bleeding money. I think that was really the problem in Edmonton, where they didn’t really build from the ground up. There wasn’t really a long-term view in terms of how to build the core properly.


“And, on the flip-side, when we were coming to Calgary to play, I could see a club that’s coming in as a new team that hasn’t had any history of soccer and how they started from the ground up and built the club properly. With Tommy (Wheeldon Jr.) and Jay (Wheeldon) and the rest of the people that built Calgary, they kind of had an idea of how it should have been run from the beginning. And so they’ve done a good job to set it up from the git-go.
