zeelaw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Quick thoughts on the game. It's a shame we conceded on two mistakes and that our best player of the season Ingham made one of the strangest, unnecessary challenges I've ever seen. I just hope all of the neutrals or walk up crowd enjoyed the show and want to come back, if so I think last night was a major success despite blowing the lead (I would have taken 2-2 regardless). Well done Y9! Greatest Cockney Rip Off, ironcub14 and Ams1984 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems like it was a good decision. One of these people happened to have worked for the Lynx over a decade ago, and they were so impressed by how professional the set up was. He had a lot of fun at the game, but his only skepticism is with the pitch. He said he'd be watching to away leg to judge how the squad performs. He said he'd definitely go buy tickets to more games That's brilliant. No surprise at all that Vaughan Mills will be the base of the fanbase of this team. I'm totally okay with free tickets, I'd much rather see the stands packed than anything else. The club knows it's got to hit up Yorkdale as well, and maybe Fairview. They should also hit up Wonderland lol. This game is the launching pad for this club to move forward with, I truly believe in it now.

ironcub14 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) The crowd yesterday most definitely felt like 5,000. Nearly broke my thumb shaking the metal stands lol, still on a CPL high from yesterday. Last night was a perfect combination of Montreal coming into town, which pretty much all Y9/TFC/GTA soccer fans are in unison united against lol, and the $9 (or the $14 lol) tickets. We all know the prices were set too high for season seats for the regular season, and we can all see how many fans will come out when the tickets are priced at the level it should be. And Mtl of course lol. I'm 100% sure that Ben Z, the Y9 VP who's in charge of ticket pricing structure, got that message yesterday for sure. Also saw both PB and Clanachlan in the stands overlooking the crowd as well. Great night. Edited July 11, 2019 by ironcub14 Ams1984 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadafan101 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 tickets should be cheap, just get people into the damn stadium. once you're in, you will pay for a burger, beer whatever, you'll make money on concessions. not to mention the hats and shirts are really nice, you'll get merchandise sales too. Just get people in the stadium honestly $5-$10 that's it, you'll make money on everything else Gopherbashi, ironcub14 and Ams1984 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ams1984 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 What a great night for York 9 and for the league in general. Neither Cavalry nor Y9 got outplayed by their MLS opponents, and while both are still underdogs, it’s a real testament to the quality of our new league that our clubs could compete with such high budget operations. These kinds of results will give the CPL a credibility boost in my opinion. Grandbloke, ironcub14 and Gopherbashi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the crazy hype from Wednesday, it's been overall not pretty to see in most of the games before that. Us in the GTA absolutely have to do a better job of getting ourselves and our friends out, myself included. Ivanovski94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingham Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Since returning to Canada, I have been to all the games that I could have gone. (I missed 4 so far. 3 because of Peru playing in the Copa America and the 4th because I had just arrived). Love this team and hope it continues to grow. The match experience against Montreal was the best one so far. As I mentioned, I am also doing the away leg so that should be fun. I am not sure if I will go tomorrow but if not then I'm definitely going to see us against Pacific. Greatest Cockney Rip Off and Ams1984 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that it will translate into more viewers, more ticket and merchandise sales and more season ticket holders. Ams1984 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
