Stifler Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Last week the Canadian Premier League which is set to begin next Spring launched it's new branding. This is the logo that will be used on the majority of CPL games, there is an all red version that will be used on special occasions like Canada day, as well as the Canadian Championships (Canadian FA Cup), and North American Champions League. http://canpl.ca/brand-story/ It is expected to announce the first club in 9 days time, this is expected to be a team based in York (Greater Toronto). They are said to be called York 9 FC, after the 9 districts that make up York. Jimmy Brennan, the former Toronto FC captain is said to be part owner of them. Hamilton and Winnipeg are already confirmed as 2 teams, however they have not announced their names/branding. Calgary want a team but are facing difficulties with getting their stadium ready, and Halifax have already submitted planning permission for a stadium. FC Edmonton have pulled out of the NASL, and are expected to take a place in the CPL as well. Other places such as Moncton in New Brunswick, as well as Regina and Saskatoon have also expressed interest in having a team. There is also likely to be at least 1 team in the British Columbia area as well. In other Canadian Soccer news, Toronto FC lost the North American Champions League final on penalties last week.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 That's fucking shit, I watch that a lot. It gives me better leverage for when I threaten to leave Virgin at the end of this contract though, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Probably yet another subscription based service. Eleven Sports Network Company Eleven Sports Network is a multinational group of sports television channels. Based in the United Kingdom, it is owned by Andrea Radrizzani—executive of the sports marketing agency MP & Silva—and The Channel Company. Wikipedia Founder: Andrea Radrizzani Andrea Radrizzani is an Italian businessman and the owner of EFL Championship side Leeds United. Wikipedia Apparently ES are targeting the PL rights as well.

Guest neesy111 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sky were unwilling to pay £18m a season for them. Considering how much they pay for a single PL game that seems a good deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sky were unwilling to pay £18m a season for them. Considering how much they pay for a single PL game that seems a good deal. Depends on how many subcribers they'll lose I guess. If they think everyone just wants the PL they might think it's worth the risk. Does seem cheap though.

Paully Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Disgrace that; However, Liverpool fans will be shocked to find out that they have only been allocated 16,626 tickets - with only 63 per cent of those for general supporters. The most expensive of these tickets are priced at £394 in Category 1 (or £315 with a restricted view). Category 2 are on sale for £280 (£223 for a restricted view) with Category 3 on sale for £140 (£109 for a restricted view). Category 4 are the cheapest tickets available and they're priced at £61 (£48 for a restricted view). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 So the general supporters get just over 10,000 tickets. Great way to kill the fucking atmosphere at the biggest game in club football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I mean, I'm #teamWimbledon, but they didn't lie, cheat or steal the position - they "bought" it from horrible owners. If the FA want that to not happen again they should add some rules and regulations to prohibit it, but they haven't. Fear it might become more common in the future as teams get separated from their supporters and roots, being turned into "franchises" for their owners instead.
