Really hoping Y9 push on this season, but Forge and Cavalry still seem to be ahead of the pack and I have this feeling HFX will be up there.

Rocket Robin Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 2019 York 9 FC assistant coach Sergio Deluca returns to Vaughan Soccer Club to take up position as technical director. Remember Carmen Isacco has already left. On the plus side York 9 has added Paul Stalteri. ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNFootballer Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) The Green Lions Bridge Student Gap as Y9’s Youthful Supporters Group https://canpl.ca/article/the-green-lions-bridge-student-gap-as-y9s-youthful-supporters-group Zach Diaz is in an ideal situation as a soccer-loving student at York University. How many students, after all, have a professional club on campus? So, when he moved on campus last Fall, he decided to organize “the Green Lions,” a student-run supporters group dedicated to Y9 and spreading the word on campus about the team. “There’s no direct connection between the club and the university and my idea was to create a supporters group that would create one.” <br /> Edited January 10, 2020 by CDNFootballer Lofty, TFC2017, CANMNT_SUPERFAN and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think york9 is starting to make better decisions. They are now on freeing students from York season tickets for just 125 and Jerseys for 20. TFC2017 and ironcub14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a doctoral student, tempting to get $65 back with this deal (I already renewed), but I should probably just support the club. Wouldn't mind $20 for the jersey though.

ironcub14 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Friend and I were talking about Y9's marketing efforts last year, we brainstormed real quick, and came up with some new potential places for Y9 to market to for this year. Last year seemed to be a heavy focus on York Region youth clubs and Vaughan Mills, along with some festivals throughout the region. We've already said some of these places many times over the last year, but always worth repeating, since it's such a crucial aspect of getting more fans into York Lions Stadium. Some new potential places to market to include transit such as TTC and VIVA, malls such as Yorkdale, Markville, Hillcrest, Promenade and Fairview, festivals at Downsview, Unionville, Mel Lastman and etc, and youth clubs in Brampton & North York. The new SG that sprouted up out York U is fantastic btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Looks like Petrasso and Mo Baouli are with Y9 in camp. I wonder when Hamilton from Jamaica will join the team? Doner-Luca-Thompson-Abzi Murufushi-Manella-Manny Petrasso-Adjei-Hamilton Starting to look like a decent team. I could see Porter starting at RW or RM. Maybe add one more winger/striker and they def need to add a u21 defender or two. yellowsweatygorilla and Ams1984 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Yes, was unfairly skeptical of Nef over his Gale stuff and thought it was agenda based. Fair play to him though as there is clearly lots of hard work going on there and legit leads/information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a bit premature to consider that. He’s just at camp, not sure if that means that he’s been signed or is instead on trial. I’m not sure if he’s any better than what we’ve got.

Kent Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hopefully this guy can do whatever is needed to bring more fans out to games and get a stadium plan with a date and location determined and made public. If he can do those two things I would consider that a very successful year. toontownman and Ams1984 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not bad, the location is great, capacity is where we need it to be right now, washroom/other facilities are fine. I really have nothing to complain about. The only thing they need to figure out is the pitch. If they did end up moving north to Vaughan, I know a lot of people who travel to the game from downtown who won't be renewing season tickets.
