matty Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Just now, Blackdude said: Not really. It took them less than 5 minutes to say it was an April Fools'. i mean the april fools prank has been negatively received. given some fans attitudes on the cpl, i'm surprised no one is praising this as a work of art.

zeelaw Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I honestly thought the big announcement was still coming despite the April Fools joke. Had lunch and realized that was probably it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who sets up an April Fool's joke that way? If they just did this thing out of the blue I would have smiled and thought it was clever but by pre-cursing it with yesterday's announcement? ......?

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I liked the story out of Brighton and Hove today though, that is how you do it: ¡https://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2019/04/01/brighton-hove-albion-to-leave-the-amex-and-build-an-80000-seater-stadium-in-lancing/ In Spain they do this on December 28th, the day of the Holy Innocents. Here is one of the best this last year, when a Spanish league basketball team brought in an actor as their new signing, and he trained with them, the other players were freaking out: Edited April 1, 2019 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please join us with your friends and family to witness a historic night. Please click on the image above to RSVP by Monday, April 2 @12 pm Sharp. *Registration is required for attendance.

And that arrived in my in box at 3:23pm on Monday April 1st (oh is that the joke?) the 2nd is actually Tuesday! Or is the joke that registration is already over! I tried and it received an automated 'we'll be contacting you'. Hopefully they mean register by Tuesday April 2nd at noon and the e-mail was just prepared by the person who prepared the design of thousands of team postcards of the York 9 FC home matches schedule for Alumni Field (OK I give them the stadium switch may have been unknown at the time) but their first game against Blainville listed as 'Saturday May 22 Time TBD' and then had the Saturday Sharpied out because that is a Wednesday! ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Fisk said the same thing. Apparently we're more sharp on Twitter. I'd guess it has something to do with them maybe not saying they have an announcement today on Instagram?

Marc Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Bush league. The question is, does the "9" stand for how many games this club lasts or how many fans at their home games? Ams1984, MtlMario and PopePouri 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinInuk Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I personally like it. I feel it will be very polarizing though. Just like Nigeria's world cup kit, some will love it and others will hate it, with no inbetween. Can't wait to get mine.
