I'm bringing 3 friends to the match (my Hartford bonus). 2 of which never saw a wanderers match before. This will be their intro. What are the chances they come back?

Do we need a Wanderers/Rovers poll? I have no preference really but think we should settle on one.
Another for consideration. I appreciate the nod to SoHo, but I remain neutral and agnostic.
It's Hipster NY, so the Squatters or the Evicted
I like the squatters. But, oh man the fun other clubs would have with that in their TIFOs...
Wanders
Rovers
Nomads (stylized NoMads)
Squatters
The Evicted
Renters
Tenants
Vagabonds
Subleters
I'm all for other teams making fun of our situation.
I'm not an ornithologist so i'll ask here. Can pigeons fly to Hartford or is that too far?
If they can, then Pigeons works for this situation.

Not about our situation. I'm talking about a 30' TIFO of one of our players taking a poo.
I'm more worried about conceding goals than scoring in this one so to play defensively...
----------Lewis--Harrison------
--------Moralez---Pirlo---------
---------Awuah--Sands---------
-Sweat-Callens-Brillant-Allen-
------------Johnson--------------
It's a 4-4-2 really with Awuah and Sands playing as DMs.
If we're losing, pull Awuah or Sands for Okoli.

People can try to force the Pigeon moniker because of the NYC connection (even though every city has them), and maybe one day it'll stick (hope not), but I'm all for being known as a Wanderer or Rover (prefer Rover). It's just far too fitting an epitomizes our situation from day one (through at least year 6 at a minimum and extremely likely longer). And it's always better to embrace a "deficiency" than to get defensive about it.
<I still refuse to go to Hartford>
And I'm sure the FO will never embrace the wanderers/rover name. Because they don't like us to point out their major deficiency.
They don't have to embrace it, but after the Hartford fiasco, the supporters should.
I mean, it's not like the FO was every going to officially embrace the Pigeons either, but that doesn't mean they aren't willing to cash in on it via 1-off scarves and tees. With enough play over the next year, don't discount the possibility of the NYCFC meatpacking house having Rovers shirts in 2018 or a limited edition scarf.
How do we avoid getting torn apart on the flanks? WhoScored makes it seem like they tend to play through the middle, so maybe it's a moot point. Also seems like they created a lot of chances against the Fire on the flanks, so it could be a disaster. I'm also worried about Benny Feilhaber against, well, basically any midfield we come up against, but Awuah and Sands in particular. He might really damage some young player confidence.
I'm hoping we play a counterattacking 4-3-3 with Harrison and Lewis taking turns at taking the ball off Shelton depending on the side the ball is on. Atleti-style defense to force the ball down the sides, force turnovers, find Shelton for the knockdown to the far winger, who plays narrow and slightly higher. Could do Okoli instead of Shelton but I'm not confident he has the intuition for moving to provide the outlet for the counter.
Shelton
Lewis Harrison
Maxi Pirlo Sands
Sweat Callens Brillant RJ
Johnson
I don't troll. I just make sarcastic remarks about our team's most embarrassing moments.
