MM2 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Only one game per weekend, unlike the USL that often had teams playing twice on a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 How sweet is that. The Caps schedule is out as well but only shows TBA for the games (except for the V's Cup, those have times). http://www.whitecapsfc.com/men/schedule/ No more of the 2 games in 2 days silly stuff. If you want to put on a good show for the fans your players need to get rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepaco Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 argggggggggg, why all those bloody Sunday afternoon games !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not like they have to rival the Als Saturday night , and their is obviously no Hockey...... what a piss off. Since I'll be working during 50% of the matches , I will not be getting season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Impact Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Correct me if I'm wrong, but April 25 is the earliest the club has ever opened at home. Usally home openers were held at the middle to end of May. Hope the early start won't damage the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn_strat Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I just wonder what that game to be announced near the end of the season is? There are already 30 games, so I guess it's a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I just wonder what that game to be announced near the end of the season is? There are already 30 games, so I guess it's a friendly. On the press release, it says "INT" beside the date, so your guess of a friendly (an INTernational one, that is) is probably correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 September 4th is a FIFA date, so could it be a Canada game in Montreal? Pure speculation of course... That would be so sweet. A chance to save face after the Honduras debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 September 4th is a FIFA date, so could it be a Canada game in Montreal? Pure speculation of course... Except that the Impact schedule has" TBA @ IMPACT More likely the Impact playing an international side like last years games against Haiti and Syria.

Keano Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 you would not be able to bring him at a Saturday night game ? Not to dreail the thread into a parenting topic, but no he's 3 and his bedtime is at 7:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 September 4th is a FIFA date, so could it be a Canada game in Montreal? Pure speculation of course... Good speculation though... I'd say 90% chance thats the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Good speculation though... I'd say 90% chance thats the case On the Impact website it seems to imply Impact versus INT TBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL_4_LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I hope the impact don't play against a country. I want them to play another top team. Yes it's going to be hard cause by Sep. 4th, all European clubs have just started a new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTL_4_LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Maybe we don't even have to look to far, maybe they want to play against an MLS team. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The Impact schedule has been incovenient for me the last couple of years. It used to be that i could make it out for at least one game per year. There was always at least one home game on a long weekend and/or the games weren't all played on Sunday and midweek. But as it stand now, Sunday is usually the travel day for me and, again, I dont see any home game on a long weekend listed there. I'd be curious to see some market research results and studies on optimal scheduling days for these events. For example why is Sunday evening deemed the best day? The lynx used to favour friday night games and MLSEL seems fixed on Saturday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosawa1555362267 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The way I see it the Impact seem to think that they can sell more tickets to the families on suday afternoon, which enrages some Ultras as the poorest ambiance in the stadium is during these sunday afternoon games. Personnally friday night games were the best, but they are all eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example why is Sunday evening deemed the best day? The lynx used to favour friday night games and MLSEL seems fixed on Saturday afternoon. Don't get your hopes up. I don't know about the Lynx, but I know TFC polled its fans. As a season ticket holder and subscriber to the e-newsletter, I've never once been asked for my opinion. It's this "we know what we're doing" mentality which is still holding the Impact back even with its own fans, and which proved catastrophic for Canada-Honduras.

Trillium Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I find it hard to be to critical on the Impact having settled on a consistent time and day for home games, although I agree night games had a very good atmosphere there is no reason Sunday games cant get stronger and stronger in the 114. Its not about the moms and tots coming to the games its about building a larger and larger group in 114. Now does a night game appeal more to the 20 to 30 year olds I think are the real key market the Impact should be building, you bet, but I also suspect if you did a Market survey those 20 to 30 year olds dont have a lot of demands on their time on Sunday afternoons, so if you can begin to capture them it can build. My complaint is the V cup games get front loaded rather then later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday afternoons in Montreal are made for lounging around, Tam Tams, Piknik Elektronik, late brunches, etc. Saturdays wouldn't be as bad, but most 20-30's don't want to go and get all hot and bothered in 30 degree heat during a Montreal summer. I still think Saturday nights (7pm) would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosawa1555362267 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Personnally friday nights are the best!!! that way I can go out alone and keep the saturady and sunday for family activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepaco Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 From the Impact facebook after many negative comments in regards to their piss poor schedule '' Merci pour vos commentaires. Comme vous pouvez le constater, les matchs la fin de semaine seront en après-midi. Les deux principales raisons qui expliquent cette décision sont les suivantes: 1-Augmenter nos chances d'avoir la meilleure température possible en avril, mai, septembre et octobre. 2-Pour répondre à la demande de notre télédiffuseur Radio-Canada.'' Basically , their two excuses are that they want to make sure to have nice weather ( LOL , bullshit ) and it's to please Radio-Canada ( french CBC ) who owns the t.v. rights. Both answers piss me off because the Impact seems to bend over to Radio-Canada who IMO is far from useful in helping promote the team..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
