Soccerpro Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I actually really like the Eddies roster. Time will tell if I'm wrong, but I rate them as a top 3-4 club in the league. Paulus is getting players he's familiar with, many of whom are experienced with the North American game, including travel. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Edmonton they have a core of the squad from foothills who know the manager and vice versa and have a winning mentality. Halifax are another unknown commodity players wise and what they lack from past and prior relationships they gain from having the most experienced manager in the league. The other teams all have intriguing and stronger looking rosters on paper that with the right gelling or player excelling could see them come out on top. Without being cliche to the entire focal point of the CPL marketing being based around telling stories, the storylines to this first season are going to be as intriguing as it gets. Despite being openly gutted about no sask team yet and worrying about whether it was possible to be a neutral fan of something, I cant wait for the ride!

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Got my email for Edmonton flex packs. I checked the sales online, and so far of their reserve seat sections over it seems like around 75% blacked out. I checked the tickets on a Wednesday game, so I am assuming most of the blacked out seats are seasons memberships. I think we will see a lot of packed games this year in Edmonton.

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 https://www.rvvanguard.com/ Beautiful website from the supporters group! Fc Edmonton has added a direct link to the supporter’s site from the team site. Some great cooperation happening in Edmonton. I am not involved in the supporters group (I don’t have time), but I am very impressed. Greatest Cockney Rip Off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinInuk Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I just noticed that Tomi Ameobi is actually the brother of Shola and Sammy. Him alongside with Halifax's Elton John will be a fun watch! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deschamp86 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hopefully the biggest part of the April Fool's joke will be that trades will happen in the league (without the players' consent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The rally rabbit appeared in the early days of FC Edmonton when they were playing the impact in the Canadian championship. FC Edmonton was down, then after the rabbit showed up, they "rallied" to win. After that the rally rabbit became a symbol for the club. First on tifos and eventually making its way onto the jersey. It really was a fan driven icon of the club. Everyone cheers when the rally rabbit shows up at the games, which happens fairly often. Lately the rally rabbit has also become a symbol of FC Edmonton coming back. It was the main icon of the supporters push to bring FC Edmonton back. Essentially it is now the symbol of FC Edmonton almost as much as the logo is. It's a symbol of risiliance almost. I'm glad is is so prominent on the jersey. nolando, Bbeto, BuzzAndSting and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, such an awesome story and part of what makes this league authentic. I'm always curious when I see or hear odd nicknames for clubs in Europe. When you look them up it's always similar stories from decades ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
