The business community in BC (and nationally in Canada) has made its choice and is backing populist right wing parties who only need to do a few policy things well to benefit their backers: lower or eliminate taxes and regulations they don’t like and privatize public assets and services. With large corporations ready to step into the fold, these parties are willing to essentially govern by neglect. They are not building anything and operate from a dystopian view of the future.

Wonder what this is all about?@intothewestaway @hewer_of_code yes. The practice in the CPL is to count tickets not the gate. And the team has done many things poorly including being located soooooo far away from its core market. Imagine a team in Oshawa calling itself Toronto Soccer Club and playing in a temporary stadium with no cover a 45 minute drive out of the city or 2 hours on public transit.

Wonder what this is all about?@hewer_of_code @intothewestaway I have no idea how VFC is doing it. And having the same ownership owning PFC too must be stretching that whole ownership group. Both of those teams have a decent chance to succeed but the clubs aren’t building culture and community ownership very well.
They should have named VFC for Langley or the Valley and let the club be a proud rep of that region. Calling it VFC set them off on the back foot.

Wonder what this is all about?@intothewestaway @hewer_of_code it’s interesting. I have friends involved with that club.
I’m a member of the TSS Rovers Supporters Trust and I can tell you the League 1 economics are hard. Mostly sponsorship keeps our operational costs covered.
I don’t think CPL is doing well at the gate. VFC does not have 2500 at every game and they don’t count the gate.
CSB is what keeps this league going, I believe.
