Hes got a long way to go but is still very young which is why a loan makes sense. He's more than just fast, he's got a good first touch, dribbling ability...but I haven't seen the last few games so if he has hit a cold streak, I guess they can re-evaluate come 2020.

Bison44 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Its not a cold streak..just like Fraser was doing well, when Bradley came back and the new wingers got acclimated, playing time dried up. Same as it did for Telfer when he was with TFC. But both of them (telfer/Shaff) were very positive, created a spark that was sorely needed when they came to TFC. You could include Lareaya in that category as well. Competition is stiff for minutes, and I thought originally that TFC snapped up SHaff just to keep him from Halifax, but they did give him a decent shot. All the TAM GAM baloney in MLS means higher priced established talent and less kids being played, league wide...american or canadian. The logjam of CDN at TFC that just cant quite crack the lineup should be York9/CPL targets next year. Chapman, Fraser, Shaff, Hundal, Mohammed, Srbely, petrasso, a bunch of those guys will probably come free in the off season. The ones in USL-1 would probably relish the better standard of play in CPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stouffvillain Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Finally saw some York 9 advertisement. Some signage posted on the light standards in the Longo’s parking lot at Weston and Major Mackenzie. Some were pictures of Doner, some Aparicio, standard in game photo with a come and watch type wording. I’ll try to go back tomorrow in the day and get a photo. I mean better late than never but why this little bit of advertising now with the season just about over? York Region should’ve been littered with these things in March/April. ironcub14, Bison44, Ams1984 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Preben Ganzhorn badly needs a proof reader. Big news is that the safe standing will not be around next year and there will be no change to the format of the athletics track.

narduch Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 This also means they aren't folding. Which I have seen some naysayers (mostly on twitter to be fair) claim. NVsoccer, Kent and Bison44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikmacdo Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 To move the supporters section further from the field is just stupid. The one good thing about the track remaining is they wont be going to a turf field next season. I am considering being a season ticket holder to either Y9 or TFC next season. It will be interesting to see what kind of players they bring in and how much the tickets will be. ted, CDNFootballer and Ams1984 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDNFootballer Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Supporters stand looked good on the broadcasts as well, they weren't always many this season but they are active. If they remove the sg stand it will look even poorer than the mostly empty seats did with less in that end. Will be interesting to see the tweaked configuration and if the vip tents are still there. ironcub14 and Stouffvillain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stouffvillain Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Season ticket price adjustment is the biggest news here. The original unveiling of the prices this season definitely took a lot of wind out of the sales to kick off the league, the adjustments later were too late IMO. On top of that the plans for the stadium moved around. The affirmation of the intents for their own soccer specific stadium is another huge plus. It shows that ownership has their eyes to the future and have long term plans. They aren't ready to fold and run for the hills after less than one season as some people here love to imply without any basis. The market needs Y9 in a true stadium, anything but the best is tough to sell in the area. Your own stadium sends a message that you are legit.

This is one reason why it would be a positive if the league really is a single entity as Duane Rockerbie stated recently. Revenues and losses get spread around more and there is less danger of losing the strugglers. Edited October 16, 2019 by Ozzie_the_parrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) More on York 9 from Reddit: It's technically CSB rather than the league that is controlling the shirt sponsorships as far as I am aware. Sounds like the east side bleachers are going to go as well, so capacity will presumably be a little over 3000 for most games.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Emulating what MLS did on spreading revenues and losses around would be the rational thing for them to do to avoid having York 9 exit stage right after a single season, due to less than stellar crowds. Finding a point of difference from the MLS style of single entity so that it can be marketed as being different from it and closer to the European club way of doing things would also be rational as well.

ironcub14 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Fantastic season prices. There was a lot of well-deserved frustration with the non-supporter season seat prices last offseason, even on this forum. All that should be out the door now. Looking forward to a stronger SSH base for next season for sure. Gopherbashi, CDNFootballer, gator and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA's Single entity MLS folded in 2002, only thing keeping it going were 2 rich guys being investors in 9 of the 10 teams : MLS folded for a few days in 2001 and somehow kept it a secret until now https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/04/12/mls-folded-for-a-few-days-in-2001-and-somehow-kept-it-a-secret-until-now/ Single entity didn't stop the US league from losing teams either. As for York9's new prices for next year, should bring in bigger crowds and with the new configuration at York Lions Stadium, a better atmosphere.

I’m definitely renewing, especially considering the new prices. Also, can people stop baselessly and stupidly talking about clubs folding? They started talking about it before a ball was kicked, and haven’t stopped cheerleading for it since then! It’s as if some people want it to happen, and by the way, there’s zero evidence to suggest that it will. It’s just strange.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Yes, MLS did almost fold when it was down to three owners, but the point that seems to be being missed is that it definitely would have folded long before that if it had launched with a conventional one owner one team structure. Duane Rockerbie explained in the podcast interview why single entity helps create more stability in that regard. The reason I hope CanPL has a strong single entity component to its structure is precisely because I don't want to see teams like York 9 fold having been through it as a former London Lasers fan. Not fun to become emotionally invested and then be one and done (twice in the Lasers case although the second incarnation was basically a rebranded CMNT U-23 team subsidized by the CSA to keep the numbers at 6 for the 1992 season after the second local London ownership group had pulled the plug during preseason).

Mikmacdo Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 At 200 dollars I think I will buy a season ticket even if I cant make it to all the games plus it comes with one soccer for a year the ticket is really like 125 dollars.
