Very nice, looking forward to picking some up myself soon, can not wait for the season to start, excited to see how ECFC does both on and off the field.

The L1O schedule is out, looking forward to the home opener on May 7th for Electric City.

Another big signing for Electric City, Jordan Webb, hopefully they can maintain this ambition beyond one season.

Yes I saw him play in 2009 for both Toronto Lynx of the PDL and Toronto Italia of the CSL.

Electric keeps it up: Signing Luke Green, he played one game with HFX in 2020. Also played for STFX. https://northerntribune.ca/electric-city-fc-adds-luke-green/

ECFC announced their 2022 stadium plans where they will play at Fleming College. The setup looks great with 2,000 seats. Can not wait for the home opener.

Season tickets are now on sale, seems things have been going well so far per the email I got today, great to see. A Supporter season ticket is $200, $25 more than one is for York United at $175, interesting. 

We are so excited to announce that the Electric City FC 2022 Season Tickets are now available to the public!

We are completely overwhelmed by the support we received from our Season Ticket pre launch the last two days, selling over $35,000! 

We can't wait to lace up the cleats, step out on the pitch and together with your support have the most successful year possible!

Tickets can be purchased by following the link below

The Electric City Supporters' Trust is now selling memberships for $40. Is that cost for annual or lifetime?

The time has come. 

Today, the Electric City Supporters’ Trust is announcing the launch of membership applications. Our President, Jeremy Corke, said it perfectly: “North American sports is big business and it often leaves the average fan without a voice. The Trust gives the fans a voice and sense of ownership in the game.”

In the UK, many footballing communities have benefitted greatly as a result of Football Trusts, and we want to offer those benefits to Peterborough/Nogojiwanong, and the Kawarthas. Each individual member in the Trust will be able to have a sense of ownership in the game in our community.

Through the direct involvement of individuals like yourself, we will be able to promote football from grassroots, all the way to pro-footballing in the region, to create a sustainable football community for generations to come.

It is time to get "onto the pitch". Sub in, will you?

Not sure, I registered to join, waiting to hear exactly what the details. In regards to the roster, ECFC added another pro experienced player in Zak Drake. Played for Las Vegas Lights in USL among a number of clubs around the world. This roster is really taking shape.

The full roster seems to be available on the League1 website. Two more notable signings that I don't think were announced:

Cavalry USPORTS draft pick Caden Rogozinski 

20 Year Old former York United third string keeper Eleias Himaras

Yep, those two players have certainly have been announced by the team, the roster on the league site sits at 16 while the one on the ECFC lists 14. Caden is another great pick up, interesting he ended up in Peterborough based on this tweet. None the less has a lot to offer. Eleias will likely be the backup to Q.

This is great to see, what a way to kick things off with engagement like this. Making the trip out from Toronto for this match. 

[Cblake]

Man this is great to see, the interest is high, how amazing I must say. The interest is high I must say.

Things are looking good for Saturday, the stands are going in and everything is coming together. About 800-900 seats have been sold so far and they are hoping for a sell out crowd of 1,900 with a good walk up. The weather looks to be on their side Saturday. Looking forward to it.

The Supporters End

Pretty cool night in Peterborough on Saturday, a 3-0 victory and a record breaking crowd. Enjoyed it thoroughly. For comparison that's over 400 more than York drew last night. 

 

[An Observer]

Maybe this is the future of League One where well run smaller city clubs can put fans in the stands as the entertainment options are far more limited than in bigger cities.  Kinda like major junior hockey in Canada.  The players are definitely in the big cities and their suburbs presently and so are many of the soccer fans but if soccer can get a foothold in the smaller centres, there is real hope for it culturally in this country which is paramount to it becoming accepted nation wide like hockey.

I was also there on Saturday night and it was definitely a fun atmosphere! Lucky for me my wife and I picked seats near the Windsor net in the first half so I had a great view of all 3 goals  I'm pretty sure the kid that was seated in front of me will have permanent hearing damage after that match, I may have gotten a bit carried away with my celebrations.  Aside from 1 of the 2 food trucks running out of food everything seamed to run pretty smoothly, and the crowd was surprisingly loud for the roughly 1500 that were there.  All in all it was a great evening and I will be going to many more games for sure! also, that Electric Ale is pretty tasty 🍺

I didn't realize they had already gone through a coach. Any ideas what is going on? They have only played 5 games. Do they fire their coach after every loss?

Win or else Randy

First coach (Mike Marroccia) left prior to the season due to unforeseen personal reasons. That seems legit and no one's fault.

Still though firing this coach four games in isn't a good look.

What caused ECFC to release their statement regarding racism?
