Yeah, I think we've covered that Lampard's signature is phallic-esque.
He sure used it to fuck all of us when he signed that napkin at the NYCFC offices.
Also, maybe it was for a larger training complex and stadium for the Rough Riders or a USL team?
Most likely, just simple due diligence. Still a bit frightening that they're even exploring sites outside the boroughs.
Exactly. If you'll build at Belmont, build at Yonkers Raceway. They'll pay you to take land on the Yonkers/Bronx border.
Hmm. If they were moving away from the Bronx, then their Westchester site might not make as much sense anymore. I could see that. Maybe it's an indication they are getting hotter on queens.
We're so starved for info, it's all just grasping at straws.
If they end up at Belmont, I'll drop my three tickets immediately.
Anywhere outside of the four boros, really.
So they went a little too Far East on Jamaica AVENUE. Maybe they got lost? They're not from around here.
Which is why I can't see it being anything other then possibly:
1. GAL
2. Willets Point
3. Fresh Direct
We've been over this for years now. There are other options, but they could be decades away. We should give ourselves more credit for all the research and analysis we've done.
My preference is: 1. FD, 2. WP, 3. GAL
If I had to guess the club would like: 1. GAL, 2. FD, 3. WP
And I think we're all correct in assuming that the club is waiting for a new administration they have had difficulty dealing with BD's. Remember, the original stadium announcement in queens was under the Bloomberg administration.
Let's not get our collective panties in a tussle over LI.
If I'm understanding you correctly, the research was more about how teams/developers combat anti-stadium groups and not about building there?
Saw the article as well on my screen. I think it's good that we're acknowledged in the article. It shows the club is actively looking at all possible sites to have a stadium and waiting for the best one.
I think still that nothing serious or even remotely interesting will be announced Mayor de Shit is out of office.

Do you really think they will ever be in a position to say "no thanks, NYC, but please let us build at this better site"?
NYCFC and MLS are going to be around for a long time and we may not know the next time we'll be able to build a newer (or bigger) stadium. Get the land right the first time around.
Omg. The women could like women, too. Don't be so parochial with your gender politics.
Right? It's like we got Pat McCrory over here...
Nah, hardly. It's just not appropriate to the Forums to be using terminology like "plowing" or needing to beat up the husband to get the woman.
Ok. I'm being serious now and not trying to be funny.
Are you sure you've been here before?
This.
There's banter, and then there's how I'd feel if my daughter were a fan (she is) and read these forums (she doesn't). Someone is now going to shout PC police as though any suggested reduction of caustic comments is somehow a massive liberal conspiracy to destroy the first amendment.
I don't think this is a huge deal. But when I read the initial comment I thought to myself, "Hmm, there's someone who is too careless, stupid or lazy to come up with a non-hurtful way of expressing himself."
Anyone who is happy being viewed that way, who am I to tell you you're not allowed?
