NorthStar74 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Question for Northern League followers:I know that Lake County is coming into the league next year. But so far, I haven't read anything about an eighth team, and obviously, 7 teams do not a baseball league make. Has there been any talk of an 8th team for the league, or is the plan to shut out Winnipeg, and keep plodding along as a six-team circuit, now with lower travel costs?I did hear something about that Minnesota team but nothing so far on the news thing... ehhh will see how it goes... but as for shutting out Winnipeg??!?!? WTF are ya talking about?? Better show a link so I can see if that indeed is true..I have been to 5 Goldeyes games this year and have enjoyed the games... I have 1 team left to try to see against the Goldeyes and that is the Kansas City T-Bones!! Hope I can catch that one next week when the KC team comes to Winnipeg....

The one that had the Edmonton Cracker Cats? OHHH, that one. I thought there would be a new team here in the Twin Cities by the name of the Metro Millers(They would've played in Burnsville) but that plan has apparently fallen apart.OH yeah I was pissed about Edmonton and Calgary leaving the NoL for the GBL but ah oh well they are gone now....Question for Northern League followers:I know that Lake County is coming into the league next year.

Has there been any talk of an 8th team for the league, or is the plan to shut out Winnipeg, and keep plodding along as a six-team circuit, now with lower travel costs?The most likely scenario at this stage is a road team.Our very own EZ Street is trying to help Topeka land a team in the NoL, so we'll see what really happens. Shutting out Winnipeg is a bad move, since they're still one of the teams keeping that league alive.However, I have no problem with Winnipeg getting fed up and moving to the Golden League, forming a Canadian Division with Edmonton, Calgary and Victoria. And, judging how the GBL does things, Chico and Tijuana.Wow really? Winnipeg going to the GBL?? I havent heard anything about this at all....and this is very interesting now.... As for EZ Street trying to help Topeka land a NoL team... I hope he succeed in this and that would be wonderful for sure to see the NoL expand some more... or so!

Lee. Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Winnipeg to the GBL is pure speculation on my part, although I know they are trying to get a team in Saskatoon. If this succeeds, then a fifth Canadian team, Winnipeg, would make perfect sense (Victoria/CGY/EDM/STN/WPG), and allow for a perfect 5-team northern division.

Wasnt the NoL trying to get Saskatoon to join up to make both Edmonton and Calgary happy a few years ago? I do remember something like that...

Saskatoon is far from having anything of the sort.I see the GBL is targeting Kelowna or Kamloops, though, which makes a ton of sense for them. Winnipeg could well be stuck in the NoL, which if it continues is Chicagoland-area expansion habits, isn't long for this world.Miles Wolff needs to come back.

rvrdgsfn Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Old news but the rumor is that Richmond, will have 2 indoor football teams, one in the AIFA & one in the IFL. I think the I will be in just for the fact that their main office is located here. Plus they have an owner waiting while the AIFA doesn't, it will be league owned. I like the IFL's chances better, plus they will want to play in the new complex (if it gets built) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The AIFA announced their team almost a year ago and the IFL team was about a month ago. I'm not familiar with the area but where would a team play that wasn't in the coliseum?There hasn't been any news out of the AIFA camp for all those months and the IFL team will be owned by SportsQuest, the people behind the new sports complex in the area, and will move to the new 5,000 seat arena once it's done but they hope to play somewhere this season.

I'd say, go for it. Make Richmond a sports town, back to the glory it once had.Update:AIFA is going to host the all star game here (even though we don't have a team yet)http://www.timesdispatch.com/rtd/sports/pr...-222604/281169/The big news however is, Richmond is expecting an announcement for baseball on Aug 1. The Diamond is getting renovated (bout time).

Sodboy13 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The move has got me wondering if the NoL is also courting the other Chicagoland FL team, the Windy City (Crestwood) Thunderbolts, and if they're considering chucking "the rest of you" and going back down to six teams if they get the Bolts. It seems like the NoL's plan is to downgrade itself from a bus league to a bicycle league.

Where's EZ? He knows the score. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
