Can't help but think they'd be a good thing for the CPL. I like the fact that they dontvtry and co brand all their teams. To me that's so annoying Edited September 15, 2023 by SpursFlu narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Apparently Derek Martin has said York United could move to a new stadium under new ownership next year: Remember what happened with a similar comment about new owners for FCE before getting too excited.

narduch Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Off the top of my head I can't even think of where they could move to a ready stadium in the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 If I was 777 I could make York United more popular than TFC in Toronto within 7 years. Easy Aird25 and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy This club has been a shit show right from the start , situated in a hotbed of local Canadian talent they have not been able to tap into any of it, moreover, the coaches they have hired have been useless including the guy doing the colour commentating today on one One Soccer . They bring in a guy from across the country when I’m sure if they put a bit of effort into it they could have got a local coach for less money and who would have probably done a better job . This club should be a contender every year but unfortunately have been bottom feeders since it’s inception. I just wonder if they were actually good like a Forge or Cavalry haven been almost every season if attendance would have been better . York is definitely not an alternative to TFC they are just as useless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Huge game this weekend. A win would put York in a playoff position with 1 game to play. They have been playing poorly but it seems Ottawa have as well, so I guess there is a chance. Is Babouli’s suspension up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 yup suspensions of babouli and abatneh are finished...this is the game of the year in the regular season...winner will have a big advantage going into the final matchday and if it ends in a draw it will still be wide open on the final matchday...york and ottawa facing each other also means that halifax needs at most one single point over their last two games to have a playoff spot and might even be in even if they lose both...its basically a 90%+ chance that halifax is in and that theres one spot between york and ottawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 So York United's 2023 season ended last night. Fingers crossed there is a 2024 season for this club. Or am I the only one being worried about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 If the Valour are hanging around, and they appear to be, they'll still want an eighth club to balance the fixtures each weekend. Barring some very unexpected last minute expansion the question is probably more what the salary budget is going to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 777 seems to be doing a good job at Genoa in Italy. They relegated the first year 777 was in charge, but bounced right back up and are currently sitting in 13th place after today's win. They seem to have invested well bringing in some experienced Serie A players. The enthusiasm has also returned in the city as the club has set their record for highest ever number of season tickets.

There seems to be a lot of hate for this group for some reason. Like are they any worse than the people who own City Football Group?

SpursFlu Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) I think getting involved with the league would be worth it just from an airline perspective. Having 777 in the fold would be a big win for the league. I would think if they use their club portfolio to bring in supporters from other teams in a market like Toronto that could be a nice shot of energy for the club.
