Blackjack15 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 For all the Toronto based guys on here, who are at least thinking of going to minimum one game next year? Even if you don’t support York9 but you can see the opposing team and whichever Canadians are on eitheir the should any of them attract/catch your attention It’s okay going to the stadium as a neutral I did it at Russia 2018 and it was a lot of fun RickC and Winnipeg Fury 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't necessarily be a York 9 fan but I care about the league as whole. Something MLS never could achieve.

Have money down for membership and will be getting season tickets. I even made the call to drop my TFC tickets a couple weeks ago.... so this team better not go bust.

RickC Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I grew up in Hamilton and therefore will be a Forge fan (still a TiCats fan too) but live much closer to York 9 so will go to some games there. Definitely will go see Forge's road game at York. MtlMario and Winnipeg Fury 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name the first player signed = Go. maybe Jarek Whiteman? Given the York U, Vaughan Azzuri, Isacco connection? But I feel like it'll be a more prominent CANMT player, and since Simeon Jackson is out of contract - he might be a good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a Ticats STH and go to most Ticat-Argo games. Also, I'm going to buy Ontario Arrows Rugby season tickets, so York will be my "home" stadium for that.

Initial B Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm sorry, but York9 is looking more and more like a "cult of Brennan".

I think it's more that they seem to be banking on him being the face of the franchise (for now), despite the relatively little penetration that would have in the general population Gopherbashi and Ams1984 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It would have come across better if it's was like "Former Canada XI" or "Ex-Pros Select" rather than Jimmy and Pals. Kent and BenFisk'sBiggestFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone else in the organization besides him? To be fair... it's a brand new organization! He has some good name recognition in the local soccer world, wouldn't you try to milk it a bit if you were running York 9 FC? I would. That being said, I fully expect that there will be signings soon, and others will slowly eat away at JB's time in the limelight.
