Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) So if the following is true: ...Club President Angus McNab has announced that the Canadian Premier League side is nearing a sellout crowd for its 2,400 restricted capacity, with healthcare regulations, broadcast camera placements, and the delay of a proposed safe standing section limiting the maximum allowed attendance at the recently renovated stadium... And the average announced crowd for York 9 in 2019 was 2668 with a high of 4260: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Canadian_Premier_League_season#Attendance Hopefully I won't be getting any more grief in future on here for pointing out the reality that paid and announced attendance are often not one and the same thing.

Bison44 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Since you mention it so much, why dont you just assume that everyone understands that paid and announced attendance dont always match, you dont have to bring it up every game. Most of us on here have bought tickets and have attended CPL games, so we know first hand. BuzzAndSting, Tigers and m-g-williams 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Very close to sell out on ticket Master. Not sure how many other outlets have tickets left. Are they selling at the gate too? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want to shit too hard on guys who dont go to games. Not everyone has disposable income (times are tough all over), and not all of us are close to even the plethora of CPL cities, let alone MLS or WCQ games eh?? Nice to see York sell out even if Mr Parrot tried his best to spin it in a negative light. m-g-williams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 How could the York United FC Saturday be even better? Well they won their CPL game but one of their U-Sport draft picks scored and had an assist in League1 Ontario, Unionville Milliken SC won their Saturday night's game over Masters FA, York's first Voyageurs Cup foe. Hear UM head coach Peyvand Mossavat praise Christopher Campoli and Daniel Rafisami. http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports21/21l1o024.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 How could the York United FC weekend be even better? part 2 If you had a League1 Ontario post match interview with Woodbridge Strikers head coach Peter Pinizzotto and ask him about former youth players Isaiah Johnston and Lowell Wright. http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports21/21l1o025.htm He also answers what it was like to coach Diego Maradona for the one time exhibition game when he played for Toronto Italia.

Pottsy3 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I don't know if this has been noted already, but Cyrus Rollocks is back in L10 with Oakville. Scored 2 goals in 2 appearances so far this season. Mikmacdo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Robin alluded to it, but I've got to say that win on the weekend was the most satisfying for me yet as a York United fan. Great come from behind win, and I am really liking Lowell Wright. When he came on I was hoping he would get the winner, and he came through. York United are right back in the playoff hunt. Looking forward to their next game. SadOnMondays and Greatest Cockney Rip Off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's first and foremost York U's stadium for U-sports gridiron and soccer so there are none where permanent seating is concerned, but there is talk of having temporary safe standing in again for a supporters section.

Thank you. I hope they can get the safe standing. As for what they have now: Am I missing something? It looks as if they've gone from playing at real stadium to playing on a plastic rug in an open park with a grandstand on one side. I don't see how this benefits York University either. With two stadiums across the road from each other, why not make one a real stadium, and the other a plastic pitch with a track and only one stand if that sort of thing is really necessary.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The width of the pitch was absurdly narrow previously so it has been a step forward in terms of the quality of soccer that can be provided. We still have to see how well the York Lions gridiron will be removed and what effect the intramural winter bubble will have on the turf so still early days.
