    Does anyone sitting behind the netting want to collaborate on a letter to Patricof, et al?

    Sending my email to the reps tonight, I’m not much pleased by this affair and it’s taken me two days to put together an email that expresses my displeasure in a reasonable and professional manner, ala without profanity.

    Does anyone sitting behind the netting want to collaborate on a letter to Patricof, et al?

    I wrote a very angry letter last night that I'm going to edit and send this afternoon. I do not pay a large amount of money to get a headache when I watch the game. I encourage everyone who is effected to send a letter to NYCFC, I was speaking with one of the legends reps last night and if we...

    Who Will Still Be On The Roster When We Play Our First Match At The New Stadium?

    McNamara will eventually transition to the CFG business side, if only because CFG wants to prove it can happen. Also the guy is smart as all hell.

    Stadium Discussion

    Do you happen to have a link to the actual proposal, the news articles I can find all do that wonderful thing where they will tell you everything about information you want except direct you to where it actually is.

    Stadium Discussion

    Does anyone with any engineering knowledge know if the stadium look like it can be expanded at all? My general feeling is that with a bit of cantilevering and creative stress management there could be another 10,000 seats in that puppy, but I'm not really sure. I know about 5-7 people who...

    Stadium Discussion

    Fortunately not, the major cost of that platform is not the physical steel that it will require but paying the variable costs to put that steel into the shape of a platform. The physical cost of the steel is probably something like 30% of the final cost of construction. So its really more like...

    RSL Postmatch

    That was one of the first times I was sitting in the stadium and I didn't feel nervous at any point from the first kick to the last. We were so composed, and it was wonderful.

    Looking Ahead - Winter Window

    So looking for the next transfer window the real question is either are we going to add depth or do we have enough money to try and push one of our starters onto the bench. My gut feeling is that we probably don't have the ability to push someone to the bench in a sustained manner, maybe a...

    SKC Postmatch

    Very concerned with Villa's battle against Father Time, the man would have scored that screwup before halftime in 2015.

    2018 Season Points Prediction

    54 or less. I'm really pessimistic about Villa remaining healthy all year and not loosing too much to Father Time. I think Villa is out for maybe a month and slows down his prolific scoring, and in true NYCFC fashion no one else can really make up the numbers. Pre season pessimism ahoy.

    Away - 3/4 Kansas City

    I'm not entirely convinced that we had a net improvement over last year in terms of on field, but I'm damn sure that most of the rest of the league did.

    Preseason - 1/31 Jacksonville University

    Well at least there's some way I can get my fix.

    USSF Presidential Election - 2018

    The only thing I’ve learned from this pre election process is that Eric Wynalda has no conception of the business requirements of American soccer and must be kept away from the USSF presidency at all costs.

    Man City Discussion

    I watched the Merseyside and Manchester derby with a buddy who a Liverpool fan. Apparently anyone but United is a strong feeling with a lot of fanbases.

    2018 Offseason Thread

    Did anyone else watch the City - Shaktur game? I feel like Yaya has now proven that he's completely shot as a soccer player. I don't want him on the team, bringing him over would be a massive mistake and proof that the team cares more about old names than actually winning.

    Crew SC owner considers moving team to Austin, Texas

    Except the words fair value never appear in the actual law, nor do they appear in the legislative notes, which a judge would consult for intent when making a ruling on an unclear law. There is exactly zero use or applicability of fair value in this law, your projecting what you think would...

    Crew SC owner considers moving team to Austin, Texas

    Where in the law does it say fair market price? Look back at the legislative notes when they were making the law, it was intended to be that the owner would make an offer that he would accept on the spot, the determination of how that number came to be was never discussed and never made it into...

    Crew SC owner considers moving team to Austin, Texas

    I believe adequate compensation for the franchise would be $1bn. 6 months of negotiations later, you either have an absurdly large amount of money for a worthless franchise or you have your franchise moved to where you want it to be.
