matty Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 What are The Cronenbergs Supporters? A Toronto CPL supporters' club What do we do? Support the Toronto CPL club at games and at viewing parties or, if there isn't a Toronto CPL club, organise CPL viewing parties every week and make the league known in Toronto. Why "The Cronenbergs"? It comes from David Cronenberg aka Toronto/Canada's greatest cinematic talent also it's a mega deformed mutant freak in Rick and Morty and I'm sure people will look at us and the CPL team as if we're mega deformed mutant freaks for going against the MLSE machine.

Kent Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I hope I am right to interpret this as a joke thread. Maybe someone needs to revive the original GTA Supporters group thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds more like a David Cronenberg fan club than anything else. A byproduct of it just being a person's name is that the connection to the city is secondary. Why is it called the Cronenbergs? Because there is a famous guy by that name, and that famous guy is from Toronto. It might be a tiny bit better if the person chosen was synonymous with the city. Like if you play a word association game, how many words do you think the average person would have to go through before they got to Toronto?

When Cronenberg's work is addressed, Toronto is often placed as a key trope along with bio and body horror, identity issues, mind tricks and sexual oddities. He has filmed almost all of his films here, doesn't hide it and he's built films around Toronto institutions. He is to Toronto as Maddin is to Winnipeg. Also you forget the later reason for the name. Since 2014, a "Cronenberg" is a freak and everyone will see us a freaks for following non-MLS Canadian soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 So here's our Twitter https://twitter.com/the_cronenbergs. Also we're planning a meeting soon (been talking about it on the Toronto CPL thread). Also: a little jokey Tweet I made related to the new MASL club in Toronto got us a like and follow from them so we're endorsed officially by Major Arena Soccer League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 So, is this an actual group? If so, what if the group found a League1 Ontario club to support while waiting for CPL? Lots of possible CPL talent currently playing in Woodbridge, Vaughan and Sigma. Or you know, you could support TFC III since they'll be in CPL as well....

Was thinking branches may be in order because of how many teams there are around the gta. Currently setting up the first meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Also, while I do admire @GuillermoDelQuarto eagerness to design all things pertaining to CPL. Y'all might want to slowdown with the one designer for all movement. Execution is key to bring about adequate awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
