EJsens1 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Just now, johnyb said: Just a thought but if Toronto was hosting the January window, this would have been a golden opportunity to announce. Adds another piece of doubt for TO. I don’t see a connection between the two. This was about 2026. If I was the CSA I’d want a press release to be about the game versus the US, not sharing the spotlight here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds another piece of doubt for TO. I dont know but its probably different people entirely. The 2026 group is now headed up by Peter Montopoli and he would be working with FiFA and Montagliani (CONCACAF). The current WCQ would be the purview of the CSA and Herdman.

beachesl Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 No word yet? Probably we will find out from a US source where our venue is. Playing it close to our 11.59 pm chest would be a good strategy, however. And the faxes have already been sent. gator, nfitz and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I hope Hamilton gets it because not only do I live close to Hamilton being from Mississauga which is a simple car ride or a simple GO Train ride over but also my cousin lives close to Tim Hortons Field being from Stoney Creek area which is right there practically longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's gonna happen, but I would love if they put supporters at midfield for a game. closer to everyone, everyone can hear us. File it under "so crazy it just might work."

I'm not sure what the status of that is if in fact Hamilton is the location but it is not a huge difference from BMO is it, 6 to 8k?

beachesl Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Probably last minute decisions by both Canadian and US associations, and they are trying to decide how to explain the decisions in carefully-worded press releases. Stupid, just tell us. They both may need to work out the local site details first, obviously rushed decisions.

It's not the stadium size, it is where do you put the supporters section. In the main stands it will lead to conflict along the edges of 11X or whatever section it will be. It's unavoidable.

I'm not sure how allocation for the Voyageurs will go but I would think using 112 which is The Battalion section as well as 111 and 113 should be a minimum goal!

I like how the section beside the V's @ Commonwealth was marked "Obstructed View" on Ticketmaster. Other than a bunch of them wanting to waive flags too, were there any issues w/ the fans beside us in Edmonton? Note: There's a difference between selling a $20 obs. view ticket & a $75 obs. view ticket. And the CSA would rather not discount any more tickets than necessary. Dumb question: With the growing voice of the V's, is it practical to have 2 (or 3?) supporter sections, all at/below the goalline? As in 101, 109, 111? Or that wouldn't address the issue?

January 30 might be a little more difficult to work out the details for any stadium because it would be a single event in the middle of what would otherwise be a three month (or more) period of being shut down for the winter. Presumably if it was BMO Field, it would involve the added complication and expense of requiring the grounds crew and grow lights preparing the turf a few weeks earlier than planned.

BMO Field in January looks promising but Tim Hortons Field (Hamilton) in January gets my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollins is an idiot. Don't put too much stock into anything he has to say about anything. Just wait for the CSA to make an announcement about the January venue. It won't be too long. Agreed. The guy is more about creating controversy than actual news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to both the Canada Mexico and USA Mexico WCQ's earlier this month. A supporter ticket in Edmonton was $22 CDN while in Cincinnati it was $125US. I am not sure even in a smaller stadium how much the CSA can push the ceiling even with the momentum they have? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
