there you are. Yes of course it could be. But im sure the csa and mlse will be at the negotiating table. They are primary tennants. If the argos dont want to be third priority too bad they have nowhere else to turn. Plus the cfl has said they would be willing to work with soccer on scheduling. 30 soccer games to work around is better than 81 jays games. The argos would be stupid not to accept tfc and csas terms
On another note, a lot of the issue with gridiron usage at Houston and Chicago is mandated local use, mostly by high school football teams.
I give it 1 season of Argo usage until there is a push to have the Metro Bowl at BMO instead of the Dome.
So, add 1 game per year to that list of gridiron games.
I give it 3 seasons until a Vanier Cup comes to call.
And, don't forget, Braley has 3 more Grey Cups he can cash in on - he'd love a Vanier Cup/Grey Cup double weekend - wouldn't that be wonderful if we are in the playoffs at that time.
I question anyone's commitment to support or follow TFC if they at all think that the argos moving to bmo is a good thing, as a TFC supporter our only commitment should be for what is best for TFC period. Full stop.
I consider myself a man of principal, as such, if the argos to bmo happens I personally will never watch or support TFC again. Because it will mean a complete lack of commitment by ownership to protect the interest of the club and professional soccer in my opionion.
This does not have to happen, and if it does I'm out.
It's right in the CFL constitution.
http://media.cfldb.ca/documents/appe...nstitution.pdf
(b) Not later than September 1 in the calendar year preceding the schedule year each MemberClub shall inform the Commissioner which dates, if any, are not available for a game in its homestadium, and shall further advise which dates are most preferred for its home games.(c) The Commissioner shall prepare, or cause to be prepared not later than October 15, a draftschedule of games to be played by each Member Club and shall distribute a copy of the totalschedule to each Member Club for its comments.
I have no idea when MLS or VCup schedules are decided, or at least the drafts. If a Draft schedule is complete for the CFL 4 months before the actual release. I'd imagine it should be something similar for MLS as they have to fit in more games with more teams.
Question away but not here.
Everyone is entitled to support the way they want. You are free to attend or abstain or protest in a way you see fit but there is no need to call out other people's dedication to this club.
It won't be tolerated. Please refrain from this line of attack again.
Thank you for your co-operation.

Sorry i dont mean to be harsh towards you. I mean tfc has to show the argos whose boss in negotations. Give them a take it or leave it offer regarding scheduling priority. Tfc and the csa has the leverage. Argos arent really in a bargaining position. They have no stadium to fall back on.
Oh, M, I wasn't doubting your authority on CFL scheduling I was referring to the scheds you don't follow (like myself, I don't know how early they need to decide either). With the little notice we get here following Vcup and friendlies it has to be a challenge adding another schedule to the mix.

Might not be, but your a pointy ball fan which I happen to think is one of the most boring pro sports in the world, you have a divested interest in seeing the argos at bmo, I don't. Which means I reserve the right to think the argos to bmo is the biggest bunch of bullshit in the world, as a soccer supporter and a MLS TFC first soccer supporter( I've stopped watching other soccer for the most part and only watch MLS exclusively outside of champions league/euro cup) I am completely enraged that this might happen, to the point that I would walk away and start following and supporting another MLS side that places soccer as its first priority.
