You never know They just may have the Reserve team play out of Guelph If it ever happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We should create a Web page similiar to The Red patch Boys which I am a member of for all of us Gran River Supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuillermoDelQuarto Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) what do you guys think of this? colours are german flag(aside from the river) checker pattern based on the area being mostly farmland, and sort of german oktoberfest iconography. don't normally use that font, but thought with the mennonite presence it(or something a little toned down but similar) might be warranted.

We've started a splash page, but would you be down for a message board more? I go back and forth on Message boards. The voyageurs one here is nice and does most of what we ask of it. If there is enough interest I am sure @Nathanael Martin and I could pull something off. gigi riva and Nathanael Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if we would want to seperate our discussion for the supporter's group from the Voyageurs at this early stage, since they have done so much and continue to be the most significant supporter of supporters. But eventually, we'll definitely want our own! FarmersFC and Levi Oakey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood when you wrote: On 2016-11-25 at 7:47 AM, Levi Oakey said: If you live in Waterloo Region (and we also accept Guelph/Stratford/Brantford), let's get talking about the Canadian Premier League. We're going to be living the dream! but if we don't get a team, we'll join the Hamilton crew for some sweet sweet Canadian Soccer action. Since there is no team yet I just thought you might want to wait until there were actual colours and an identity to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael Martin Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We're building a campaign, and a good campaign needs branding. Unltimately, the ownership will determine colours, name, logo, etc. gigi riva, GuillermoDelQuarto and Complete Homer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, McLean (owner of KW United) is pretty awesome. He should be involved in the team for sure. Maybe with a partner with money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google might be a longshot, but as you said you never know. Some local tech company seems more likely, but who knows, really? I keep hearing that theres no such thing as objective reality so i'll let whoever is in charge decide whats realistic and whats not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 THE most important thing is trying to establish some interested party as owners with financial backing from sponsors Were are going to play at Laurier or that field beside The Memorial Auditoruim I forget what it is called we also have to show that we have people who are willing to buy seasons tickets before we can even get approval for a franchise lot of work to do it can be done GuillermoDelQuarto and Levi Oakey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Oakey Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Will do @gigi riva. This first meeting is for our "activators". We're hoping to have about 30-40 out that will start recruiting locally to really get things going. So if you miss this first one that is okay, as we will be doing a lot of brainstorming sessions and planning in this first one. @Nathanael Martin lives in Guelph and is really active in helping us get things going. Probably would make sense to setup a time with him and he can talk directly about some of the stuff we covered at the meeting. As soon as we have our February date I will post it here too. We are looking for 200 or so people to show up in February. That's going to be our big coming out party. It will be at the Descendants Bierhalle. We might have bands there too.
