Key word... Semi's.
The tournment no longer has an official host for the Semi's. Only the Finals. it's on a yearly rotation. 3 years mainland, 1 year island. Its been scheduled for the Island for a year now. Why is that so hard for people to wrap their heads around? If you don't want or can't afford to participate in a tournament that has travel you should have let your league know before it started.
They should just play the Surrey-West Van game before the Caps game with LA at BC Place.
All those ex Caps connections and probably better football too. Fans would love it. If they could be arsed getting to their seats in time.
2 or 3 seasons back there were 2 island teams playing against each other in the semis that were being hosted by peace arch who refused to come over and play. I think it's fair that the mainland teams stay local and play here. I hope they do for everyone on the mainland who wants to go watch the final.

Actually, there are 16 teams involved in 8 finals, and the Island is represented in the Womens Masters and the Womens B Cup finals.Did Cloughie break into your TTP account or is he standing behind you as you type, pulling the strings, not unlike a puppeteer? C'mon, for someone who has their picture above a john at CAP, you should have more common sense than that
This is not a slight on the island, the organizing committee, any league, or any one individual. This is common sense. Imagine if there were 8 x island teams in 4 finals hosted by the mainland. I'm CERTAIN we would all strongly support moving the finals to the island. It would make for a better competition and a higher profile, which should be the goals. Or let's imagine 8 x fvsl teams in 4 finals hosted by the island. Well, if that was the case I'm pretty sure that all the visl and vmsl teams would be sipping champagne in a chateau in the south of France, enjoying their hefty winnings from 8 x Bet365 wagers orchestrated by Captain Shamrock.
But nothing will be changing. Time to focus on the games.
Best of luck to all the teams.
To start with perhaps they can start calling on UEFA to move the upcoming Champions league match Dortmund and Bayern to Germany and not Wembley since there are two German teams in it. Maybe the next Superbowl should also get moved at the last minute depending on who makes the final.
