112. Save The Caps
We're joined by Ciarán Nicoll, president and secretary of the Vancouver Southsiders supporters group, to talk about the Save the Caps campaign and the recent acceleration of problems surrounding the Vancouver Whitecaps. Stemming from problems surrounding stadium ownership, Vancouver Whitecaps were put up for sale last year. Prospecitve local buyers did not feel that the opportunity was beneficial for them. Fast forward to today, and the Whitecaps are under threat from a Las Vegas-based group who are looking to purchase their MLS franchise license and relocate the club.
