michaeltfc91 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have read in bigsoccer posts and redpatchboy forums that the Toronto Lynx are trying to get to USL-2. Is it too late for them to move up. Also cities like Victoia United and Quebec City have been rumored in the near future. Any one know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Victoia United will be PDL this season. USL-2 is an east coast league so there is no point in that for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltfc91 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 ^ true, never knew. With Quebec it seems like theyll have CSL next year than maybe USL-2 in the future. What about the Toronto Lynx any one know?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Victoria United will NOT be PDL this season, Victoria United will continue in the PCSL. A new club called Victoria Highlanders has been created way out in the suburbs of Victoria to play in the PDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and No, From what I understand the Highlanders will now be playing at Uvic, and they now are working with Victoria United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 ^ So what happened to the new stadium they were supposed to be playing in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 ^ Typical BC politics from what I have heard. The plan was to build it where velodrome is now; however, now the cyclists are up in arms and West Shore Parks and Recreation are looking for a new plan. The city are trying to find the funds to save the velodrome, and build the stadium beside it. I have also read that West Shore Parks and Rec are looking at Hull's Field sports hub again. Thats all word of mouth though, so I don't know what is the full truth. I have heard from a pretty reliable source that the new usl club were in talks with both Uvic and the City of Victoria (RAP). But the city screwed them and are bringing in a semi pro baseball team instead to Royal Athletic park, so that would leave Uvic. I have been assured that they will be allowed to sell beer there though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 There is no formal arrangement between the Highlanders and Victoria United but they have a cordial relationship and there will likely be some player movement/sharing between the clubs.

Jason Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Tractor Boy Surely Ottawa need to test the support if they have submitted a bid to the MLS It's really not relevant. If you use historical attendance to decide on MLS expansion, Toronto would've never been considered. Their previous USL attendance had been abysmal over the years. Besides, Ottawa has a PDL club already that doesn't get any support. Ottawa better hope this isn't a big factor (and it won't), because if it was, Montreal and Vancouver are so far ahead of them.

michaeltfc91 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 How about the Toronto Lynx being rumored to go to USL-2 as Hamilton in 2009???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hear that rumour but I don't know how accurate it is. If it were to happen in 2009, you would think that more would be said about right now. Also, what happens with the Academy and the PDL side? Would that remain in Toronto or would that move out to Hamilton too and would that hurt their ability to attract players to the program, which has been pretty successful?

michaeltfc91 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I've been hearing The Toronto Lynx PDL club will basically be promoted to USL-2 in Hamilton. So there would be no PDL club in Toronto. I'm thinking the TFC Academy will remain the same and be playing the the CSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltfc91 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I hoope they get a team so we could have a TFC vs. Lynx Voyageurs Cup Final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 how about the lynx been moved to a USL-1 team in hamilton. or even better how about Hartrell and the lynx stay playing PDL in toronto where the rest of their organization is(Y-League, W-League, Super League teams). A USL-1 team in Hamilton would be a great sucess with an owner who does things right like Bob Young, owner of the Tiger-Cats and now part owner of the Carolina Railhawks of USL-2. Look for a CSL team in Hamilton next season though. I was told there are two different groups interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be incredible. The Lynx have come within a single point of winning it in the past. They usually had a great run in the V-Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than I thought. It's decent, but the attendance of the Fury really will not factor in their MLS bid. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
