THAT is effing funny. They must have know how this was going to play before the launch. As flattery. A year on, a Euro giant investing in the league and now CPL is getting stink eye from one of MLS' biggest teams? Think we're onto something here lads.

This was intended as a statement to Y9, the CPL and potential investors looking to put clubs in the surrounding areas (Durham?) TFC considers all of the GTA their territory. They had some of the boroughs. Whether it was a statement to Y9 is open to interpretation, but the fact that they included some parts of Toronto proper and not others is absurd.

Hold your horses, we haven't won the first match yet. Let's take it one step at a time. I will too though should we get there.. York 9 before TFC anyday. Actually, I think I'd be a Forge fan before TFC. Edited February 7, 2020 by Ingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Why do the Toronto York 9 fans seem to spend all their time talking about TFC? I don't see this on the Hamiilton Forge thread. And little mention of the Whitecaps on the Victoria Pacific thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing it because of the new TFC jersey that was announced yesterday. You are either being ignorant or obtuse. Besides I'm sure most York9 fans are also TFC fans. I'm curious why TFC fans feel the need to come onto this forum and white knight the club so often.

There's more talk about it here, than in the TFC thread. And that's just today's comments. It's often one thing or another. How about some York 9 discussion? Here's a question I had recently: I noticed I was getting regular Hamilton Forge emails after attending a game there last season (probably because I bought on-line). But I don't get Y9 emails (probably because I bought at the gate). I was poking around the website to see how to add myself for regular emails - but couldn't find the link. Does anyone know how?

Mikmacdo Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Why does York9 not include North York in the "9" ? Seems kind of stupid.... In other news I bought a season ticket today, looking forward to the ticket exchange system. I can probably only make half the games being a Argos season ticket holder (I know) and go to a bunch of TFC and wolfpack games. When will they be announcing Hamilton? Will they sign a number 9 to replace Adjei? How about some depth on defense. nfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate being called a "suburb of Toronto". 3. TFC's new kit announcement may have not intentionally been a dig at York 9 but it's almost like acknowledging we don't exist. Given the fact they've lowered our attendances time and time again, it's kind of infuriating that they would post the York regions as one of their own. Don't talk wet.

I don’t think they sign a like for like replacement for Adjei. I'm looking forward to the remaining signings. Last year a lot of unknowns turned out to be major players that no one saw coming.

Stouffvillain Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) He can play anywhere along the front but his primary position is out on the right. Hamilton can play in the centre up top. I see him and Vasconcelos switching off and on. Don’t see a target man type striker coming in to replace Adjei though.

But that's a great point, there should be a text box option on the homepage and on all Y9 websites at the bottom of the webpage where one can subscribe to the email newsletter.
