Great news. I am gonna buy season tickets for the closest team even if we can't make all the games. So many soccer families with girls playing these days asking for this and going to be attending games imo. I expect more like 500-1500 a game and that the salaries will need to be very modest to start with but this is long overdue.
The CSB drama is dumb imo. I get that the folks who got shut out are feeling spurned but these ppl stepped up when no one else would, negotiated a good deal and are clearly ready to reinvest back in Canadian soccer through the CPL. This new group is doing same. No need for bad feelings between them.
To me a lot of the hand wringing to date just feels like the classic old white european dudes trying to control the scene like they always have in Canada and being affronted that anyone else dare take over. The provincial associations and these guys are like little mini fifas.
