JuranBoldenRules Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 The CFL should have no appetite for expansion either. They can barely keep the current 9 teams operating and owned by someone willing to operate them. wbbfan, SpeedFlex27, Bigblue204 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Just now, Mark F said: "The Canadian Football League may be attempting to drum up support for an expansion franchise in Halifax by hosting their Touchdown Atlantic game this week, but the ownership group for that prospective tenth team is not confident enough to participate in the event. In an interview with Regina Leader-Post reporter Murray McCormick, Schooner Sports and Entertainment founding partner Gary Drummond stated his group would not be present at any of the league’s events because expansion to Halifax is not imminent. “We have a lot of goodwill, but we don’t have a franchise arrangement right today. We certainly don’t have the funding and the government participation that we require. That’s not in place because we just haven’t had an opportunity to meet with them,” Drummond said. “We don’t want to be presumptuous. We’re enthused about the prospects and we think we’re equipped to be a catalyst to making it all happen. We want the opportunity, but we don’t have that, and that’s what we’re working on.” The CFL’s initial marketing claimed that the Atlantic Schooners would be co-hosting many of the activities in the Nova Scotia capital this week, as well as the main game in Wolfville. However, they’ve been conspicuously absent despite repeated claims from commissioner Randy Ambrosie that expansion is all but guaranteed." 3 downnation. These guys are playing make believe. They don't have the money or any real asset. All they have done is hold their hands out hoping for money to come into one, and a football franchise into the other. If they aren't able/willing to pay the start up costs, they won't be willing/able to maintain the franchise through its first fist full of years. Having a 10th team and one on the east coast is worth less than the global draft.

The cost of construction has gone crazy. We don’t have a place to play and that’s not going to change in the short term. Are there other options? There may be over the years, but right now we don’t have a place to play professional football.” He's right. Except, I dont think that will ever change.

Dr Zaius Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 The Riders are actually a decent team. They'll never win in playoffs though. Just too undisciplined. It's inmates running the asylum.

They need to fine Craig Dickinson, Jeremy O'Day the GM & Rider President Craig Reynolds. If the Riders coaching staff can't control the players then maybe the organization can. Fining those 3 would send a message. Nolby, voodoochylde and rebusrankin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steinauer is also president of football ops so he's probably safe for the time being I would think.
