That would be my first reaction if HWFC wasn't also there. But I guess they could have both in there yet to finalize. When I think of places that might actually name themselves "Port City" there is only a few. Halifax, St. John's, Montreal...Victoria?

baulderdash77 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 York University is the best location for a 2nd Toronto team. They have a stadium that can expand to 12,500 from 4,000. There’s subway access and good highway access plus it has that whole north part of Toronto to itself. It’s a good choice that also gets the CanPL inside the largest media market in Canada. We are hearing more about Calgary in the last little bit but where will they play? Not McMahan stadium would they? CDNFootballer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hamilton registered Hamilton United and Hamilton Steelers in 2016 when they also registered the Canadian Premier League (of note same law firm doing all these registrations now). Those really are the consensus best options for Hamilton and they’ve said there would probably be a naming contest between them. m-g-williams and Ciaran L 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened last year before just prior to announcing the last round of teams and the CanPL in total if you remember. Maybe along with Ottawa we have our founding 7 teams Even without Ottawa that would be the min required 6 teams right there. Edit: Though I'm curious about when the FCE was trademarked...as they have been going through a ticket drive and Paul Beirne was there recently to "rally" support.

As it sits now its supposedly at 2K seats but that doesn't appear to be reality as TFC2 announced sellouts were announced around the 1200 marks not 2K. Phase II was supposed to be done in 2016 but never materialized (3500 seats) : Don't have a pic of Phase three which was supposed to be complete one year after phase II apparently and provide for 5K seats.This is the minimum spec I'd expect for a CPL club.

John Cudmore reported the name of York 9, etc, before anyone else knew, so I think he's a decent source for the York team. He said they will play out of York U stadium until they build their own https://www.yorkregion.com/opinion-story/8340624-cuddy-shark-winning-back-fans-is-no-simple-game-plan-for-jr-a-teams/ CDNFootballer, Ciaran L and LAK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Not sure if anyone remembers, but Inter Toronto was trademarked in the lead-up to Toronto FC being launched. Not sure if it was ever really in play or if the typically restrained V board reaction to the name scared them off, but I'm taking the names unearthed today with a little grain of salt. I do quite like Port City FC and I think it has to be Halifax Wanderers. Is the 9 in York 9 for the number of communities that make up the region? cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of wonder if this was a soft way to test reactions on a broader scale than the focus groups So far "Founders FC" is the least popular Edited April 13, 2018 by Complete Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like Calvary...sort of a play on Arsenal without directly copying it. I had to double check because I thought there’s no way they name the team that?! I do like Cavalry FC though.
