CFL in the Maritimes

[elly63]

I wouldn't say not much is changing year to year if there is a truly interested potential owner. In this whole 40 year saga that hasn't been true for most of that time. I think a better case can be made that the Halifax administration has maintained a status quo.

The three things needed for a franchise are an owner, stadium and a fanbase. Once you have an owner the rest can fall into place. The previous ownership group had focused on a traditional stadium and were hamstrung by the pandemic although I think that ship had sailed before the pandemic.

How much cooperation is really needed from the city if an owner and SMU couple? It seems the least the city would do is provide the same amount of service as they have for the TD Atl that being a worst case scenario.

The league wants a tenth team, that's a given, that solves a number of issues. The dream is to have a true Atlantic to Pacific league, if that is not going to happen they move on. You can't keep pining away for your old girlfriend you have to move forward.

I'm always the first one to say things change and things can happen fast but as of now talking about Quebec is hypothetical. Unless both Ambrosie and the BC Lions guy are lying there is something afoot in Halifax

And as I have posted, this story may be ending soon. If it isn't announced in the next two weeks that the dream is over then there is a serious effort afoot. And I don't mean the same crap that we have seen for the last few years.

My problem is totally with the non identification of the potential owner. We know that PKP called Ambrosie and said he wanted to buy the Als. Ambrosie (while likely internally jumping for joy) told PKP he had to go through the vetting process with Park Lane, that could be happening here. If it's the guy who has been rumoured, he has a lot more sway in Halifax than the previous ownership hopefuls.
