For a team name, it sucks. ...and might inspire paranoia in people in other cities over the level of influence the Hamilton team has on league decisions in a Rocco LoFranco and Toronto Italia in the NSL sort of way.

LOL, and I thought it was kinda playing on Hamilton's iron/steel making roots. Terrible name for anything. Heard it enough over the last year and it isn't growing on me one stitch.

1zzurri Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Would make sense. York 9 will have a tough time getting season seat holders as they are already all gonna be TFC ticket holders(me included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone tweet they were membership 114 when it opened to the public. But I think the numbers are glitched in general, I'm one of three people so far whose screen said they were member 5 when we signed up at the launch party Edited May 18, 2018 by Complete Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJSweet Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) This hockey guy just wrote to me and called me a fucking loser for supporting the CPL. He said that this is only a pipe dream. It's going to fail. You're making a fool of yourself. How would you respond to this idiot? Any suggestion? This guy sounds like those fucking loser from the 1970s that will stand there and say: SOCCER SUCKS!!!! I hate those guys.

What was the point of trying to turn this game into a spectator sport when you can't see the puck and would anybody even be watching if there were no fights tends to drive them apoplectic. If being Canadian means being like you I wouldn't want to be, but it doesn't so why don't you just go forth and multiply is the thermonuclear option. I actually quite like hockey, if truth be told, but there's a redneck element to its fanbase that is deeply off-putting. kmacphee and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call this soccerphobia. Yeah I get it. I try to follow what Rheo is saying, but it's often hard to ignore. Just like I often can't help myself with Robert on this site as an example. You could tell him to worry about his hobbies and you'll worry about yours. If you want to go all zen you could quote John Lennon to him.
