Halifax has just really taken on CPL soccer like no one else. A perfect storm I guess, with the Maritimes booming like I've never seen in my lifetime while not having any professional sports to speak of, with grounded ticket pricing. It's so cool to see.

Having attended Saturday's Cavs match in Halifax, I am in the unique position of being able to directly compare the two supporters groups. I can assure you that our Foot Soldiers are on equal standing with the Privateers. I got to meet a few of them, and they are aware of the excellent game atmosphere that is being created at Spruce Meadows.
In fact, I would even give the Foot Soldiers a slight edge as more work was needed do be done in Calgary than in Halifax. The Privateers' pre-game pub is a 10 minute walk to Wanderers' Ground. Our Foot Soldiers have to endure a 30 minute (plus) ride on a cheesewagon just to get to a match!
