marauder01 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Gang, for those interested in Hamilton NASL from a supporters stand point a handful of us are meeting at the Pheasant Plucker on Augusta Wednesday the 27th at 7. Mainly talking Hamilton NASL, having a pint or two and perhaps talking supporters group. Looking forward to seeing you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hammer- Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I will try to make it, although I will be in Toronto for most of the week, so making it back might be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm excited for you guys, Hamilton is definitely ready! Although I'd love to see NASL soccer in Calgary, in my opinion, Hamilton is definitely more ready for it, and I don't just mean the stadium...I hope you are your fans prove me right!

HamiltonSteelers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Looking forward to this gents. I'll be there earlier, I suspect coming in from Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Remember fellas, all the groups started with only a few and continued to grow to be as large as they are now (but maybe not quite as arrogant as U-Sector can be or as big of sell-outs as the Southsiders can be or as laughably neo-anarchistic as UM02 can be). Give us a nice change to the formulaic Canadian/North American supporters group and be reactionary to what's happening in the game and around the section rather than so damned canned like all the yank MLS and NASL supporters groups tend to be. We need more of this and less "hey we've sang this same song at every goddamned game just at different times, let's do it again!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hammer- Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 So...I think I'm counting six? Just a heads up, we haven't made reservations or anything so if the Plucker is packed, I'd assume we'd post an update here as to where on Augusta we headed to.

baulderdash77 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'd come guys but I'm coaching that night until 8:30. I'm totally interested just this time doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder01 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Gang, Pheasant Plucker at 7 on Augusta. I'll make reservations for 6 of us (or so) day of, but I don't expect space to be a problem on a early Wednesday evening. For those who want to stay up to date with where we are in the very unlikely chance we move get a hold of me at @the2ndyellow on twitter. I'll be monitoring my phone. I'll also have a V's scarf with me for identification purposes. See you gents Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 All the best from the FOOT SOLDIERS. Perhaps one day our teams will meet in a V's cup match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hammer- Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So, I can confirm that Ti-Cat management will likely not be coming to the meeting, not that there was any expectation of them coming. I jokingly posted on the Ti-Cat forums if Scott Mitchell or Bob Young wanted to drop by and blow our minds, they could feel free, and sure enough Bob Young responded to me. Here's the quote from the Caretaker The only reason the Ticats are unlikely to show up on Wednesday is because we cannot trust ourselves not to talk publicly about the ideas we are working on to bring pro soccer to Tim Hortons Field. The conversations are still so early stage that publicity about any of these ideas could get in the way of making progress. But rest assured, THF is a both a perfect football pitch and a fantastic soccer field, and we have committed to the City to bring high level soccer to Hamilton. We hope to have a viable soccer plan we can talk about by 2016.The greater Southwestern Ontario soccer community will be essential to the success of this project, so you will be the first to know about any ideas that make it to the "planning" stage.

-Hammer- Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Wow, that's fantastic on so many levels. Clearly the guy cares. There is a reason many regard Bob Young as the best owner in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauder01 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Nine is probably likely, unsure for 10. Shoot me a message on twitter @the2ndyellow and I can keep you posted on where we are at. This I presume, will be the first of many meetups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
