raysox Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 My friend interns with them and they said that it started as a reserves nickname from being super scrappy, and it sounded better than SKC2 or something. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyk33 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hopefully SKC not naming their reserves SKC2 and the Union, hopefully, using the Bethlehem Steel name will start a trend of other MLS reserves having original names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't make sense that the teams they are adding are the ones that wouldn't make the D2 jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 They'll have to split into two leagues eventually - they have two kinds of teams with openly-conflicting interests.Which is what makes the whole thing silly — MLS disbanded the reserves league and moved it to the USL for increased competition, and they’re just going to end up going straight back to a de facto reserves league.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I went to the Sounders game tonight. Three goals in 20 minutes, with Dempsey scoring twice.

If Seattle gets through, I feel very good about their chances against Vancouver or Dallas.The east is New York's to lose, though I'd love to see Montreal shock the world. Too bad they open against Toronto, because it'd be nice to see them meet further along. A home and away Montreal/Toronto series would be pretty special. As it is, it'd be cool if they scheduled the game in Olympic Stadium. They'd fill it, for sure. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 No matter how hard MLS tries, there is no way "Decision Day" (sorry #DecisionDay) becomes a thing...I'm fine marketing the games, love them all in 2 time slots.

Hopefully Seattle can beat LA because I want to see a possible MLS final in Seattle just for the crowd and tifos alone.I also wouldn't mind NYRB winning just to see the looks on the faces of the fans that jumped ship from Red Bull to NYCFC (not saying all NYCFC fans are defectors) if their old team wins the Cup & Shield.Celtic FC considering a franchise NASL club?http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34632349Where could Celtic go to even make this viable?

raysox Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Seeing how the NASL is trying to move into the city compared to MLS, I'd say Boston U's football field would probably be the best bet for market/existing stadium.

There's a couple vacant or under-served cities that could turn a profit on their NASL club, especially with the low buy-in. By viable I mean able to generate fans and interests.If Celtic are going for a team solely for the purpose of scouting and training players then wouldn't the USL be a better option? If I remember correctly, the USL charges less money than the NASL to join its league.Seeing how the NASL is trying to move into the city compared to MLS, I'd say Boston U's football field would probably be the best bet for market/existing stadium.Who knows, the NASL is badIs there a movement in Boston for a team actually in the city like there was in NYC when the Red Bulls were the only show in the area?

Needschat Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well, Philadelphia Union listened to the fans and named their USL Lehigh Valley team Bethlehem Steel FC.
