I can understand the appeal of this idea for the Wanderers. The club is well supported and appears to have become a fixture on the Halifax sports scene. They could probably make a lot more money with a proper venue as compared to the temporary one they are using now. The article does cite local opposition to using what is a park space for this purpose, but I'm not sure how much of an obstacle that will be.
One thing I am curious about is the long-term viability of the CPL in light of all the drama going on with the Canadian men's and women's national teams and Canada Soccer Business? Right now the CSB pipeline is flowing money to the CPL but what if that changes? At this point only the Wanderers, Forge and maybe a couple other teams at most appear to be solidly viable. I wonder what the fallback plan would be for Halifax if the CPL falls apart? |
Cooperation with the Schooners please.
