mianjo Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hopefully when our league starts we do things right. What is OUR league hope you are not talking of the pipedream called the CSL, as it will never happen without the 5 pro teams that are playing right now.

I think they'll get up there again with the fall season (wouldn't hurt if they could actually win a game at home). Strikers apparently have massive sponsors from China and Brazil. So I'm not too worried about them folding. Sounds like they're moving stadiums between spring and fall which might help as well. The Strikers are also building a strong foundation to their club by adding a U23 Strikers Reserve team to the NPSL this season and a U19 Strikers club they've just started which will be going to China in July and participating in an annual cup tournament they have there. Their owners are also worth 700-800 Million so whatever their losing at this time is pocket change for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posters on Bigsoccer are claiming that the difference is that they are not handing out free tickets this year and they are actually generating more revenue than they have in previous seasons.

The Strikers also went on record in the off season (I want to say sometime around the new year) and admitted to the supporters and fans that they (in actuality) had previously had the lowest paid attendance in the league. I think we're just seen the "unpadded" numbers here. Also, as an FC Edmonton fan, its good to not be the lowest attendance in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayo V's Martin Presa, who is the principle owner of Rayo OKC, did say that they are looking into possibly selling part or all of their investment to someone. Could be good for the NASL OKC club in the end as they could rebrand back to Oklahoma City FC, whom the local owner Sean Jones had as the clubs name originally. The club is doing well in attendance averaging just about 5000 fans a game this year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillium Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The wild and woolly NASL spring season done... Ottawa with nine points, Cosmos with 18, Edmonton with 17, and three game win difference to first place, 22 games in fall season, can Ottawa catch up ? Ottawa won the combined in 2015 with 45 points. Some 66 points ( three for a win ) are available in fall season. Ottawa has nine points, and would need 36 or more in fall season, so 12 wins out of 22 games, or a combination of wins and ties. With Indy already qualified Ottawa has to essentially win half its games plus one, ( or add ties ) to be in striking distance of a playoff position. Can Ottawa start scoring goals ? Will defence tighten to become the best or near best in Fall Season. I think goal scoring is still going to be tough, Dalglish does has not created a system that is producing goals with his talent pool, perhaps in the break a striker will be found or he will re-work his system to get scoring from a variety of positions and players. The Jonny Steele experiment has not yet proven to be a driver of offence, hopefully he starts to get his mojo working in the fall season. Will large home crowds help...no doubt, but they need something to cheer about ... to keep coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yothat Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Paul Dalgish has done an impressive job in his first spring season considering all the roster turn-over. The Fury will keep improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fury will keep improving. This assumes that Ottawa can keep de Jong IMO. That's a massive MASSIVE part of the success. Additionally, Ottawa won two games... vs Miami at home, and vs Jax, also at home. Not exactly games that would be a positive indicator for them. Last 5 games: D-L-L-W-D. 5 out of 15 possible points. Last year, Ottawa came out of the V Cup guns blazing, and didn't look back. Edmonton last 5 on the other hand... W-L-W-W-D (10/15 points). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNFootballer Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Perhaps The NASL’s Greatest Rivalry Resumes Saturday http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/08/12/new-york-cosmos-tampa-bay-rowdies-nasl/ The Cosmos/Rowdies series was particularly intense back in the ’70s and ’80s and it picked up right where it left off when the Cosmos returned to the pitch in 2013 after a 29-year absence. The storied rivalry will be renewed on Saturday night at 7 p.m. when the sides meet at Hofstra University’s Shuart Stadium in a critical NASL contest. “Obviously with the history of the two clubs, when the Cosmos rebooted Tampa was the first team we knew about,” said Cosmos captain and defender Carlos Mendes. “Since we’ve been back playing them they’ve always been tough.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
