Keegan Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 2 minutes ago, Rocket Robin said: I'll have more on tonight's pub night in Richmond Hill tomorrow but there is now a new offer...."Non SSH can go to the Hamilton inaugural game with bus ride and ticket for $50.00". Also the travelling fans are expected to be 1200 to 1500 (two weeks ago when the offer was made with the new sponsor, 1000 was the expected amount). I assume sales are going well? Or do they expect this new deal to pull an extra 200-500? Thats sort of an unfathomable number for a first ever match away. Has to be a world football record if true.

It might devastate his world view to learn that his iron clad belief that the previously mooted number of 1000 travelling fans meant that York's ST numbers were dismal and the league was destined for semi-pro ignominy in perpetuity.

Rocket Robin Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Details of the February 13th York 9 FC pub night in Richmond Hill. I've got over 30 minutes of sound files. MC Kurt Larson onstage talks to head coach Jim Brennan, players Joseph Di Chiara and Daniel Gogarty, and team president Preben Ganzhorn. I then have a short interview with Gogarty. http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports19/19york058.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senorpopps Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 1. It's good to see the quality of signings increase(Petrasso, Fisk, Buscher) as of late rather than decrease as the signings continued. Yes, it's only been a few above average signings, but it looks like our league is getting stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Petrasso? I thought Montreal still had an option on him. edit. I see he’s out of contract but I hadn’t heard of him signing with anyone yet. He would be a great get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ams1984 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I’ve always liked Gasparotto, and I’ve always felt that he could turn out to be a good player for the CMNT. I’m pleasantly surprised by this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a world football record if true. To find a similar scenario you need two teams in the same megalopolis type area playing a local derby in a newly starting soccer league. When the J League started up in 1993 there were almost 60,000 at the National Stadium in Tokyo for Verdy Kawasaki vs Yokohama Marinos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_J.League That's comparable in geography terms to having Mississauga and Oakville teams playing at BMO Field, so there were probably a lot of Yokohama Marinos fans there. You can get pedantic about whether a previous history as Nissan Motors as a JFL team is relevant, but it shows what is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The Tokyo metropolitan area - Kanto - has a total population which is greater than Canada's entire population, so not entirely a fair comparison. For those unfamiliar, Tokyo and Yokohama are officially the two most populous cities in Japan, with Kawasaki also in the top 10. Effectively, they are all constituent parts of a single metropolis, known to the outside world simply as Tokyo. Suffice it to say, if Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver were close enough together that traveling fans could drive (or better yet, use a super efficient commuter rail system) to away games after work for a mid-week match, attendances for all clubs would be significantly higher.

Well, it is fair in the context. If someone says "that must be a record!" and then someone else says "Well actually, this happened, so it's not a record", that is entirely fair.

You made a very good point. Not only is the rail system extremely efficient, but you can also go from different places in Yokohama (through Kawasaki) to various points in Tokyo. For example, as you said, if Toronto bordered Vancouver on one side, and Montréal bordered Vancouver on the other side, and you could get on a train that's never late from several different parts of Montréal and head straight for BMO. NB: Tokyo Metropolis (not technically a city) is Tokyo Prefecture. The areas you mentioned are known as Greater Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
