actually, thats one of the overlooked things here. playing in such an awful location i think will really wear on the players. i know talking with the guys that play for the texas teams, they are often exhausted with their travel. for houston, they often fly to chicago the day of games then take a bus across illinois to the QC. while abbottsford may have more direct flights (i honestly dont know) there will still be significant travel concerns. i think houston has something like 10 triple headers this season when they have games friday/saturday/sunday. that can wear on players. so often people talk about how teams want their affiliate close to their home city. thats great and all, but whats the point when they are so terribly jet lagged and exhausted?
for me it doesnt much matter as we have lost the team regardless. but i know if my team wanted to move their affiliate way they heck out there, i wouldn'y be happy about it.
