If there's great Canadian players at Roses FC let me know. If yes I might go see some Roses FC games. I'll have to take the Montreal metro. Blue line. Edouard-Montpetit station.

red card Posted Monday at 08:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:30 PM (edited) Roses have signed two 30+ year old players. 30 year old Gabrielle Lambert who played at UQTR and then spent time in France and Germany. The largely back up keeper has worn the colours of Montpellier, Saint-Etienne & Freiburg. And the first foreign player in 34 year old defensive mid Charlotte Bilbault. She has 56 caps with France with 1 goal and last played in Montpellier.

red card Posted Wednesday at 12:48 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:48 AM The Rise are looking to play at Swangard. But they want better pitch maintenance, increase seating to 6k, better locker rooms, HD scoreboard, Rise branding, design enhancements and more staffing. Rise are proposing to share certain stadium enhancement costs. They also want a revenue share model with Burnaby via tickets. Rental fee is to be fixed. Of note, they included their attendance projections which is 6k in year 1, 7.5k in year 2 and 9k in year 3. Compared to the progression of NWSL & CPL attendance, these are aggressive goals with standard ticket pricing. As seen with certain NWSL teams, it is achievable with the right vibes but it can also be easily derailed by toxic workplace issues, having a sponsor with baggage and tone deaf marketing. narduch, nolando, Kent and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted Wednesday at 11:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:32 PM Some quick comments: - Looking to expand Swangard, with 6k permanent seating - 1k deposits for Rise Council seems enthusiasm about it, with some reservation on ensuring it remains used for other activities. No mention of Supercross being a higher priority, so that's a plus... K Edgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better to have fans packing the stadium that care who wins. For example, if the game is in Vancouver and it's between Halifax and Ottawa, are people in the stadium going to care who wins?
