Watch meh nah,
The fella really have smarts for days.
If we are playing all our games away in the US...how would the US authorities deal with Cuba coming across to play our "home" match there.
1/2 the side might defect before they step on the field.
Thus we play a weakened side or get points for them forfeiting.
Advantage TT
Brilliant Jack.......... Brilliant !!!!!
Now back to reality and taking care of Bermuda on Sunday.
Carry On.

Nobody arguing that fact.... game will definitely be played in a high concentration city with TnT ex-pats... But anywhere that there are TnT peoples there is a high correlation to having large Latin american population.... its a mute point! The Alpha return to TTFA's pocket will be the the total increase in gate entrants, and that Alpha is capitalised most from the latin population...
I will certainly go the game if its in the USA.... but if I had a choice of me seeing the game in the USA or inot seeing the game because it was at home.... I will sacirfice my needs for it to be home.... 100% of the time.

i feel the same way, but the games home and look at the turnout? where the hell is the support, you might as well play in the US, but i agree otherwise but i not in charge and i might as well take advantage of supporting my national team.

Anyway..If we playing the games away we should play them in Toronto cuz we have nuff Trini's dere and if we lay it in Miami vs Guatemala and Cuba it will be like a home match for Cuba and Guatemala due to the amount of dem living in the States.... In Toronto will have a greater number of Trini's
(Lightbulb!) Settle the politics...Get use of the HCS and play the game in Trinidad where it is supposed to be! >:(

trinis will still support and i know the latin americans will outnumber us, i never disputed that, even if we playing 8 road games, plenty times in the past these rounds of qualifying, no one was supporting in tt, i know that for a fact, look at the damn attendance at marvin lee for example, thats pathetic, jw is jw, unless someone else putting their money where their mouth is and the govt will support that group, jw will rule

That's because jack know that no matter where we play it sure to have some mooks like you willing to help fatten he pocket.

I wouldn't blame any foreign based Trini who goes to see one of our WCQs in Miami or NY or whatever. Allyuh is Trini and is T&T will be playing so why allyuh mustn't go. However the ethics behind the move is non-existent. I condemn that decision outright. Only countries at war or who lack facilities should have to do that. Its a political move and nothing else.I support the MOS putting the squeeze on the TTFF , doh mind Hunt inexperienced and dotish.
Anyway it is entirely possible that we may not even have to play anymore matches after Sunday.
-
Folks why we even discussing which city in North America de games will be played?? Dey call dem HOME games for ah reason!!..
F U Jack and all yuh cock sucking croonies too!!!.... >:(
-

Sepp dem go be rolling on de floor wid laughter at Jack.
One amount ah stadium in de country, petitioning to hold dis tournament and dat tournament, and allyuh want to host WCQ game in a neutral country :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
-
We go co host d yute tournament with d US. U eh c is Austria and Switzerland. Sepp and dem need d madman vote so dey does let him do what he wants
-
This is some sick times, Guys.
I will be in a tizik if these games are played the US(providing they beat bermuda). I would love to see a live WC game, but not for this reason. The stadiums are available for the WC games at home. There is no physical distruction to any of the facilities, so FIFA should reject that move(ha! ha! ha! ha! ).
To be honest, The TT team get good support against the US when the game is played on the east coast. The further inland the lesser the crowd. The US will not play TT in NY, Bal-DC-Rich. area. The fraid the rythm section. I saw a game in Richmond about 10 yrs ago. The crowd was slightly in the US favor, but we had the rythm section. We were twice time noisier than them. We lost the game, but the rythm section went down the streets jamming.
The policeman say "So, you guys won the game?".
We say "Nah, we get 2, but we ent diggin' nothin'"
The policeman say "What!!! you guys are crazy. You all should be riotin' "

Don't give up home games
Williams, Sancho urge T&TFF...
Kern De Freitas kdefreitas@trinidadexpress.com
Wednesday, June 18th 2008
"The whole interest of Trinidad football is in jeopardy. We're going nowhere with it. Every (World Cup qualifying) campaign we're starting over, and this decision is the worst."
The decision former national defender Brian Williams was referring to in an interview with the Express yesterday was the T&T Football Federation's announcement on Monday that the "Soca Warriors" will be playing subsequent 2010 World Cup matches at a neutral venue...if they get past Bermuda by at least two clear goals in Sunday's return leg of their opening qualifier.
That event is the latest development in the ongoing feud between the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs and the Federation, epitomised by the war of words between Sports Minister Gary Hunt and T&TFF special adviser Jack Warner.
Williams is just the latest of many stakeholders expressing the view that this spat is badly hurting T&T football.
A very concerned Williams, who was clearly upset at the recent turn of events in the feud over national stadiums, related that he could not see the logic in that decision.
"Coming to a decision like that, it totally makes no sense to me," Williams said. "I still don't know the reason why, but whatever reason the authorities or the Federation chooses to do that...it is a decision that is trying to show power."
The feud between Warner and Hunt broke out after the Ministry issued a release to the media outlining terms and conditions for the use of the Hasely Crawford Stadium two weeks ahead of the June 1 friendly international between T&T and England.
Those terms included a $150,000 rental fee, plus a refundable deposit and other associated costs.
The T&TFF brought the matter to court, arguing that the Ministry had already made a binding verbal agreement to charge the usual fees. Since then the Ministry have outlined their three-grade system for allocating the stadium facilities for international events.
The T&TFF attempted to have last Sunday's home leg against Bermuda played at the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Tobago, coinciding with the Junior Track and Field Championships, but met the same cost requirements as in Trinidad.
The T&TFF then decided to play matches at the Marvin Lee Stadium, adjacent to the Centre of Excellence in Macoya. That venue is the home ground of Joe Public Football Club, of which Warner is chairman.
Williams also added that such decisions should not be made because of personal disputes.
"As mature men, sit and come to some kind of good decision," he advised. "...You can't just ups and say you not playing none of Trinidad home games at home. We hardly making decisions in the interest of Trinidad and Tobago football."
T&T central defender Brent Sancho, who represented T&T at their maiden World Cup tournament, Germany 2006, was disappointed at the decision as well.
"I think that is extremely disappointing if that is the case. That's something that needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later," he said yesterday. "It's embarrassing from an international perspective in this predicament...at the highest level, I think it's a massive embarrassment of the country to see this going on."
Sancho also felt that because of disputes involving national football, T&T had failed to get any momentum from their Germany 2006 World Cup experience.
"The dispute between the players and the Federation played a huge part in what has transpired today in terms of the football," he explained. "You can clearly see that the boys they have now are talented, but it will take a little time for them to mature on the international stage."
Sancho also preferred the natural grass of the Hasely Crawford Stadium to the artificial turf of the Marvin Lee Stadium, where T&T fell 2-1 to minnows Bermuda on Sunday.
"At the end of the day, it's not a surface suited for football really. If it was, I think you'd see more countries having that type of surface. Any footballer will tell you that they prefer to play on a natural grass pitch."

BW yuh along long time and u should know sense and d TTFF is like Castro and Bush cyah happen
