I've been saying for years that Valour are FC Edmonton 2.0 and this just further confirms that belief. All we need now is for the league to strip WFG of their ownership.

Unfortunately they were doomed the minute someone decided that a CFL stadium on the outskirts of town was a good idea.
It is really unfortunate for the league. But it underscores the importance of a good gameday experience. I was very critical of the location of Spruce Meadows initially, admittedly with a bias that you'd expect from someone that lives in Tuscany. But once you get there it sure is great, and that makes it worthwhile. Stoney helps too.
Valour would be further ahead if they slapped some temporary stands for 3-4k, nice and close to the pitch, in a park somewhere. I'm not even exaggerating.
