Chester is Major League - Ain't That A Kick? (Delco Daily Times 9/7 - Full link on Post 1)

How dare you mention that name

 

Thanks bro, that helps a lot!

Now I can have a sigh of relief. My best friend moved to Philly in early June from Atlanta.

When I visit, I hope I will be there to see the team play.

Now the question is, how does MLS spread it's young talent around? Once the expansion teams come into the league, they are going to go through some tough, tough growing pains. They may be at the bottom of the league for a few years. A team game like Houston's doesn't grow overnight, it takes a lot of time to grow.

I just thought I would let you guys know that. Reality is going to be knocking on your teams door, and hopefully, you guys will do well.

 

As suspected.

Still, it's one of the greatest sports town in the United States. If not ONE of the BEST.

The Philly Eagles fans are as legendary as the Boston Red Sox fans. Well maybe not as legendary, but you get my drift.

 

Just south of the Commodore Barry means what? Off of Jeffery Street? Closer to Highland Ave.?

I am guessing that unless the R2 creates a game-day-only stop that allows a direct walk down to the stadium us non-car owning people will be getting off at the Highland Ave. stop.

 

The whole Yankees-Red Sox fan rivalry is SOOOO overblown by the American sports media. It's how Americans remind themselves of how great their proprietary sports are.

Nobody gave a SCHNIZZLEDIZZLE about the Red Sox fans until they were competitive again.

We've always been the most die-hard, angry, bleeding-heart fans. Never afraid to get pissed off and criticize, unlike that Texas team whose big-haired, acid wash jean wearin' fans politely clap but never question the team. No wonder you-know-who was elected Governor of Texas, and why PA was a blue state.

 

Great news! I've been a Philly MLS wisher since league inception, hard to believe it might actually happen.

1)Does $120M get us a Dallas/Chi style open air stadium, or dare we hope for Euro style digs with that kind of money on that depressed land? Any inside info?

2) I'm an optimist about the US player pool. Having played D-1 ball, I think there's enough talent these days to fill out the ranks of young american prospects in MLS. Agreed that MLS should expand foriegn player limits league wide, b/c it helps keep the standard up & with expansion it won't encroach on overall # of American player opportunities. The young south american influx is really promising this year. Hopefully the trend feeds itself.

3) for non-Philly readers, this locale is about 10-12 minutes drive south of center city on I-95. Waaay closer than Frisco or Bridgeview. Sort of at the nexus of South Jersey, South Philly, & north Delaware.

 

You've been nothing but a class act towards us TFC fans, may I congrat you on behalf of all TFC fans up here. Finally, Philly has a team, and TFC now has someone else to share the title of greatest MLS fans.

You guys are gunna do a bang up job, I'm excited for you all. =)

 

WOW, that's super nice, but it ain't a done deal yet. Gotta convince the State to pony up the dough.

Nice sentiment though. Toronto is a beautiful city and the fans are awesome.

F Joe Carter, though.

 

Here, Effin, Here!

 

Neither...somewhere near the known edge of the universe.

 

Given Philly's high amount of registered sex offenders, I hereby name this team:


THE CHESTER MOLESTERS!!!!

 

A trolling moderator.


Hmm.



...and PS - It's their parents fault for dressing them up so damn cute.

 

Sorry, couldn't help it!


For the record, I'm thrilled it looks like you guys are getting a team. Great city, great soccer support!

 

damn this rep system

 

I took care of it.
