I am excited to get down to THF for the season opener, Cavalry are a good rival and these matches are usually quite fun with many twists and turns! Forge haven't turned over their roster much besides James stepping in to the CB position, I am hoping for more consistency out of the strikers as last season the goals really dried up for a long stretch! It's going to be a nice day weather wise here in The Hammer, hopefully we see a good crowd to welcome the Champs back!

Looking forward to seeing if this match has sold as well as Ticketmaster claims it has.

I had forgotten about Bekker's suspension carrying over into the new season, you always want your skipper there especially for a home opener but fortunately there is some depth in the midfield!

Apparently we have never won a home opener?! Think we are due.

Every year we find a way to snatch loss from the jaws of victory.  
 

Looking forward to the game tonight

Is Hamilton above Pacius in the depth chart by merit or based on his past accomplishments?

Loving the tackles flying in great intensity for the first game of the season.

Bevin reminds me of Wade Boggs in the old Simpson's episode where Mr. Burns demands he gets rid of his sideburns.

Good amount of attendance here. Feels like more than most of last years matches. 5000+ my guess.

Doubt it's much more than 3k actual unless more than the mezzanine is open on the side with the cameras. Forge announced numbers can be on the generous side though.
