It takes a Florida paper to interview our manager, I guess. NYCFC comms living up to their reputation.
Best part is the Sentinel rightly has us as the Pigeons rather than the league site’s (boo, hiss) “Cityzens.”
Preseason - January 15 - Corinthians
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date

I don't care if some of our fans hate the nickname of Pigeons (though I love it), but "Cityzens", is just plain atrocious. And (I think) that is something nearly everyone can agree on.
Went to the game and a big shutout to the Corinthian fans, they were all so cool and pleasant to be around and the stadium was not full at all and they made a heck alot of noise. The atmosphere was pretty good considering what type of game this was. When the Palmieres fans came in towards the end, they along with the Corinthian fans were going back and forth with chants. It was awesome to see.
As for the game, honestly, not much to take from this.

How did the video star, Prince Amponsah, look? Where did he play?
I think it was CB - I thought he had a very good game. There were some very nice tackles in the box (well, not tackles but the word eludes me for when you take the ball away from someone)
I know we were all mad about how slowly the academy was developed, but it really seems to be paying dividends already and will only get stronger.
These kids desperately need game time and we don't have a usl team. And the loan system is not what it is in other countries. They gotta figure it out.
Well, Scally is gone. I meant long term as a replacement for Tinnerholm.
If NYCFC were smart, they'd work with Villa and makes qbfc the usl team.
I wonder whether that would be inconsistent with the QBFC marketing/business plan. Being the farm team of the bigger team in NYC is likely not the perception motive, and is likely detrimental to the team's success.

Helps them get a good player or two for a season without having to worry about salary for a presumed starter/useful super-sub. Helpful to both the USL squad (saving money while getting a good player) and the MLS club (experience for younger players against more experienced professionals). I don't think they take on the entire U20 team, but loaning one or two guys to them each year can be beneficial to both sides.
