We, the undersigned, call upon the Canadian Soccer Association to select Moncton, New Brunswick as the host city for an international match featuring the men's national team during the year 2011.

Below are some of the reasons for our support of this initiative:

- We believe Stade Moncton 2010 Stadium -- with its natural grass surface and potential capacity of 20,000 people -- is a suitable venue for a men's national team match;

- We believe that the people of Moncton -- combined with Canadian fans visiting from elsewhere -- would sell out the stadium (at its expanded capacity) and work to create a vocal, exciting, pro-Canadian atmosphere,

- Furthermore, we believe that a stadium predominantly full of pro-Canadian fans would create not only an atmosphere conducive to on-field success, but also a television product that could help boost the profile of the men's national team across the country.

This initiative is not meant to cast doubts upon the ability of any other city to properly host a men's national team game.

We do, however, believe that Moncton should be given the chance to demonstrate its ability to host a men's national team match, at the earliest possible opportunity.

    • There's not really anything to lose, and so much to potentially gain.

    • Moncton, and the Maritimes in general, need to be revisited at some point. Why not try Moncton for a friendly as a test run, and then look there again, as well as St. John's, for venues for WCQ2012?

    • Anywhere we can get a pro-Canadian crowd is where we should play our matches, be it Moncton, Yellowknife, Toronto, or elsewhere!

    • I was in Montreal for the Honduras WCQ, it was infuriating. This should be given a chance. It's also easier for European travellers.

    • We need to have the national team play in as many cities with suitable stadiums as possible. I would travel from Montreal to the game.

    • I would drive 20hrs from Toronto to watch a game in Moncton. The CSA needs to reach all Canadian fans in order to grow this sport in our country.If this stadium is sufficient, it would be a great opportunity to host any opponent especially during a WCQ campaign
