I got lost in the math. But it is an inconvenience of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders when it's fanbase are used to showcase a league event. The Rider Fans have s wonderful reputation as a travelling fans. Makes one wonder how many in attendance were from the local region. Anyway, the Riders should be rightfully compensatedTank55 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:06 amWe know the Riders were the visitors.

Explain yourself. Or admit you were wrong. Whatever. But your posts aren't making sense.DavedaHammer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 7:26 am Thanks for replying. Yes, the Saskatchewan Rough Riders lost a home game going to Wolfville, NS.

Re: CFL takes control of the Alouettes
It would be a MTL home game. The opponent would still be on the road whether it's played in MTL or QC.DavedaHammer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:21 amSimple economics. The other team loses a home date playing in a neutral site/showcase game. Season tickets holders get dinged for the other game being played else where.
Next time reply to my post. I don't know if you are communicating to me or not

Re: CFL takes control of the Alouettes
This would be an initiative of the Als themselves. No compensation from the league would come into play, and even so, why would the league pay travel expenses for the opponent when they don't compensate for other road games?DavedaHammer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 12:46 am The Saskatchewan was the visiting team in Wolfville thus why they are eight road dates.

Re: CFL takes control of the Alouettes
But,the Als aren't in Touchdown Atlantic. Teams get a corporate discount on travel through the league's sponsorship deals with WestJet and Red Tag dot ca. So in effect there is a form of compensation set up by the leaguejohnnyangryfuzzball wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:11 pmThis would be an initiative of the Als themselves.

Re: CFL takes control of the Alouettes
The Alouettes hired a new team president and CEO in Mark Weightman. Peladeau is making the right hiring since Weightman returns for another opportunity to operate the football team.
