Mihairokov Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 "For one, after seasons spent training at multiple pitches across the region, including the Ontario Soccer Centre, the Nine Stripes now get to step onto the same York Lions Stadium pitch where they play their matches on a daily basis." Oof. That's a bad look to train at various different spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing massively unusual if a natural grass playing surface was involved rather than turf. Sounds like they were avoiding paying extra facility rental costs to York University more than anything else and the three brothers are now willing to pick up the tab for that.

narduch Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 According to this article: https://northerntribune.ca/afc-toronto-name-milanovic-forbes-as-first-coaching-additions/ The new NSL team plan on making Lamport their permanent home. They will however start their 2025 season at York Lions. Does it make sense for York United to move to Lamport too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 If they do I hope they do some serious upgrades to Lamport. It's miles worse than York Lions Stadium, obviously a better location for people in Toronto, but the stadium itself feels like a rundown amateur stadium. longlugan and Metro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is just a shortform way of saying to expect them to play at York Lions in the short-term (1-3 years) - i'm not convinced Lamport today is in any way ready to host professional matches and needs significant upgrading to be suitable. Should York relocate there? Sure, almost anywhere would be better than a suburban university campus. Brockton, Monarch, Birchmount, and even Lamport would be a big improvement over their current location if we're looking at things like community engagement, branding, marketing, accessibility etc. The issue is that York Lions has all the facilities they need (rooms for teams, concessions, infrastructure for professional matches) which the others currently lack. The others would require funding at a level we haven't seen yet in this league to bring those stadiums up to par.

Many CPL stadiums still lack some essentials, but there has been significant investment in stadiums within the league Bison44, Ivan and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only comparable to what Lamport would need done. My understanding is that much of Spruce Meadows was already there for equestrian but i'm happy to be wrong on that.

Kent Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Wright and Babouli get most of the headlines, but lots of other players have been fantastic this season. Abatneh, Sturing, Vincensini, Cordova, and now Guzman as well. Top of the table is where they are and it doesn't feel like a fluke. And I thought ownership was kind of crazy for thinking there was a championship roster here when they fired Nash (although I wasn't upset about Nash being let go. He was underwhelming.) sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the dumbest coaching decisions this club has ever made so far was , Nash and Brennan and it showed on the pitch .They might have got it finally right with this present coach , so far so good .

I haven't watched much York this season but I'm especially interested in the reviews of Abatneh. Intriguing CV having spent so much time under Lazio's watch and then a little time with our U20s, etc, triple national (Philippines and Egypt). And he's still a teen, until next month at least. Would imagine he will generate some interest from other leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
