alberta white Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 For what it's worth...TFC does the same. Is there a facepalm emoticon... Does the same as England or Does the same as Dwight's Boys? ...he asks knowingly (Hey Strobe_z! Dwight's Boys, Dwights Boys!- might make a chant that?) To be honest I liked the concept of Defensive planting. Great one for kids to learn, as opposed to the concept of 'wander aimless as a cloud routine' usually employed by the young 'uns...and the English Back Four!

TFCRegina Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 FCE Board has been down for a few days it seems...hopefully they get it back up soon. I like how they're putting things on youtube and not using the ultimately useless neulion technology like TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESG Shawn Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 TICKETS Please purchase a general admission ticket (I believe the cost is $25 for adults). The club has reserved the first few rows of Section A for the supporters section(South side of the West Stand). No word on where the Pompey supporters will be, as a number of fans are expected. Kick off is at 7:35. ATMOSPHERE I have the drums and flags which I will be bringing to the stadium. I'm sure we can come up with something funny for the blank banner. Feel free to bring more flags etc. PRE MATCH I have been told that the Pompey fans will be congregating at Endzone Pub (immediately North of the Stadium). I would like to go there pre match to have a drink but that depends what time I can get out of the office. Feel free to join them. Any questions, let me know. Lord Bob, I asked the club about the camera. My contact wasn't sure about the camera and said he would get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trident Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 when talking to the people that came over for the montreal game last night... I told them to just stay the ESG. no need for fancy or catchy names. ESG-UM02, simple, generic names that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think that's a good idea actually... especially after I got the business card of the "Away Travel Officer" for the.... Portsmouth FC Supporters Club... The FC Edmonton Supporters Group is starting to sound just fine. As I wanted originally, this will allow a nickname to grow organically. BTW, thanks for taking care of some of our guys, Trident. I heard you showed them around town a bit as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverthursday Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I like the name: "the lion and antelope" myself. they are the animals on Alberta's coat of arms and the symbol for the group could be a mix between the Alberta shield and crest and FC Edmonton's.

Grizzly Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 ^^Sounds like an English pub not a supporters group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are we would be braver, more obnoxious, and much louder if we were. I like the name more now. Also I don't what supporter group names would sound like. I am learning soccer as I go. I have learned quite a bit from the time FC Edmonton popped up, and I had reason to become interested. Don't spit in my pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well, the lion and the antelope is definitely not a possible name for a supporters group. We could be sh!tfaced drunk.

I have learned quite a bit from the time FC Edmonton popped up, and I had reason to become interested. Don't spit in my pint. UM02: Ultras Montreal 2002. We're Ultras. In Montreal, group was founded in 2002. Very common template for ultras across the world Vak 410, Section 8, Gate 13, Usector: Section 410 of Ajax, Section 8 of Soldier field of the Chicago Fire, Gate 13 of Panathinaikos, U sector of TFC. All those names are simply the section/entrances the fans could be found in. Delije, Grobari, Winners, Green Apes: Heroes of Crvena Zvezda, Gravediggers of Partizan, Winners of Wydad, Green Apes of Maccabi Haifa. More creative, less generic names than locations or other common ideas. But creativity isn't always better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strobe_z Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ever since we met the Portsmouth FC Supporters Club... I've been thinking we should just be the the Edmonton Soccer Supporters Group... If we get a nickname it'll happen when it happens and stick if it's good. Also, I just wanted to mention to foreverthursday (great nickname btw) that this soccer discovery you're on is one we almost all took. Speaking for myself, I found a love for the "beautiful game" about 10 years ago. So don't feel shy about not knowing the intricate details... we've all been there (and some of us still are!).
