They actually contacted all the members prior to holidays to explain they wouldn’t be at it until January. I received a phone call last week as I am member 553 and had a conversation with the ticket rep. They’ve been going through their membership list. Those that they make immediate contact with, they are working on sales to. Those they are not making immediate contact with they plan to follow up with later. Simply put, those are the 400 or so out of 1200 or so who answered the phone when they called. I wasn’t going to answer because I didn’t recognize the number and I suspect many are in the same boat. That conversion rate is really positive. I am one of those in the same boat. Member number #1025 - got a call last week but was driving and asked them to call back later. So I expect to have a call in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very simple to me ... all of this information is incomplete. So before offering a take, ask a question or two of those who might be able to answer and increase the available information for you to make that take. But some folks don’t seem aware of this monumental idea. (Not you of course, Ed ... I’m just generally frustrated with what to me seems like an entirely logical and incredibly simple idea, but one that is acted upon far too infrequently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking of Cloverdale? Aldergrove borders Abbotsford to the east and is in Langley Township...although not Langley City. That's probably why they said he moved...but even so, it's the tiniest of distances and in the story it makes it sound like it was some big thing. It just struck me as funny.

Great comment from someone who describes himself as being from North Burnaby lol you mean your from the fringe of Vancouver People from Cloverdale and South Surrey wont admit they live in Surrey and they actually do. Aldergrove is more apart of Abbotsford so a fringe of Abbotsford would be more appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Everybody on here knows what MLS is all about so it would add nothing to the thread. Same can't be said for something like the Swedish third tier. This guy looks like the sort of signing that was needed to be on par with USL. Most have not been.

CDNFootballer Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Julian Büscher's a quality signing for the Cavalry, 2 years MLS experience with DC United, they could use a few more of these type of signings to round out their squad.

Shortdutchcanuck Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Looking at the Cavalry signings so far: 14 players signed and not a single one under 22. Still lots of time but they are going to have to sign (and find minutes for) some younger players at some point to meet league requirements.

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Dulwich<br> Dulwich Hamlet are a sixth tier club in England, which is usually semi-pro level although Dulwich are quite well supported with a bit of a hipster sort of following. A move to CanPL is probably viewed as a chance to step up to fully pro level again as would also have been the case earlier this year when he was with Leyton Orient for a few months in the English fifth tier: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-mavila/profil/spieler/242646 Seems to have been a youth player at West Ham, so the other recent English signing may have put a word in for him.

Only had a short spell with the Hamlet, but fans seemed to rate him. He's a strong left back with a lot of pace, the clubs form in the league picked up recently, around the same time he signed for them, but that may be more due to them being allowed back to play at Champion Hill.

HaliCanuck Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If you haven't read the Guardian Article on Dulwich, it's worth a look. It would definitely be a fun crowd to play in front of, especially being on a lower tiered team. https://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/aug/23/dulwich-hamlet-londons-most-hipster-football-club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, on paper this is an underwhelming signing. I expect better pedigree from the international spots. He's been at a lot of clubs in the last few years, and almost every time the move is down. I hope that I'm pleasantly surprised. Keegan, deschamp86, Kent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Latest from reddit on season ticket sales: If accurate, that probably means less than 1.5 rather than Halifax's over 2.5 season tickets per member. Halifax who appear to be shaping up to be the league's FC Cincinnati in per capita terms at the moment with 3500 being the latest number circulating, appear to have had the right idea on ticket pricing and stadium location by the looks of things.

rob.notenboom Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Cavalry have still not made their way through the people they did not connect with the first time round. I know people in the 300 and 400s that have not gotten a repeat contact attempt. I’m in the 500s and have not received mine yet. But now since the ticket sales have opened up to the public, it won’t be possible anymore to determine the membership conversion rate unless Cavalry decide to release that info. The latest I had heard (right before they opened up season ticket sales) they were well over 2 tickets/member contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
