Soccerpro Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Halifax will be the test case to see if a central, downtown-ish location puts butts in seats. I think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess from that same thread you could add a bunch of other things, such as "launching with 8 teams" as well as "launching a LEAGUE instead of a STRUCTURE", whatever that means. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they agree, that is a quick add of 3 teams to Div. 2. Two of those teams don't even exist anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete Homer Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 PSA: The Athletic has a discussion thread running asking for feedback on what soccer leagues they should cover.

Okay now I'm curious about their sources. I had heard about "Forge FC" from an entirely different place, and Forge FC doesn't show up on the trademark search as far as I can tell...

SpursFlu Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Not sure if anyone has mentioned but.. Founders FC feels like an "Original 6" type marketing thing.

dyslexic nam Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I just gotta say, occasional curmudgeon aside, this is a goddamn exciting time to be a Canadian footy fan. It has been a long time since I felt this excited about the future of the sport in this country.

They've been talking about your memberships getting you access to league wide content... Could it be you are buying a membership to "Founders FC". So all the hardcore fans will be "Founders".
