I had been to a fan party for The Voyageurs (Canadian National teams fan club) last night where the directors of the new AFC Toronto (women's team in the new Northern Premier League) were guests and asked one of them if there was any cooperation between them and York United FC about stadium sharing such as York Lions Stadium or the Woodbine Racetrack facility. They answered "We are still in talks". I asked Ricardo Pascal about that today and he agreed.
On my way out I noticed in the lobby was packed with young teenage boys and their parents. I went outside and noticed a table with a paper banner hanging from it with the York United FC crest and a woman behind it in a chair with a notepad of names. I asked her what was going on and she said they were starting tryouts for their 'Pathway to Pro' program. An intern came outside and answered her that they had 17 so far (who showed up so far as a school day was just ending). The women answered me that the previous day they were testing another age group and it sounded like tomorrow would be yet another. I noticed that Benjamin Mora had made his way down to field level to pose for some of those same photographers who were upstairs minutes before.
Yes you potential future players have come to the right place.
Now it's time for me to take the subway (Pioneer Village Station) is just across the driveway) downtown to see the Canadian Women's Friendly against Mexico at BMO Field!
Wow I got in the first question! I figured a good first question to set up how he got here. Bigger than Jimmy Olsen! Yeah I expect because the heavy hitters weren't here but on the Zoom call. I counted about 20 people here for the press conference.
