The Cavalry FC thread

[shermanator]

Someone suggested that there should be a Cavalry FC thread, so I'm going to start one.

2023 season starts in 2 weeks. Home opener is on April 30. 5 of the 8 teams make the playoffs, and I'm sure Cavalry will be one of the 5, but I don't think they are a contender this year. They struggled after selling Aribim Pepple to Luton Town and Victor Loturi to Ross County, and haven't really replaced either of those players.

Couple more shameless plugs of the Foot Soldiers YouTube channel highlighting the vibe at games.

Looking forward to taking my nephew to a game this year and maybe going to one or two more myself. Which games would you go to or I should target to go to?

Jersey launch was tonight at Kildare's. Bar was completely packed with Cavalry supporters. You love to see it.

Have to say, the kit was disappointing. So far my favorite CPL kits are York and PFC. Curious what your thoughts are?

I see X929 and Cavalry are doing a contest for their Watch Parties at Ship and Anchor. Interesting demo to target for Cavalry. Worked for me, making me aware that there are watch parties.

Season starts tomorrow! Little video to get things hyped on a Friday.

They're my least favourite of the jerseys they've put out. Look nicer in person than they did when they were leaked but honestly not really a fan.

For me, York's are the best set. I also love Vancouver's away.

18 games in and Cavalry are in first place with some good crowds showing up.

4100 last night on the Friday night of August long weekend is a massive attendance. Weather was perfect. Crowd was rowdy. 3-0 win over our rivals. You love it. Couple videos I captured of the general vibe and the Aird penalty goal.

Nice to see them getting crowds like that.

Scenes at kickoff Friday night. Gives a good sense of how much it was raining down at Spruce Meadows.

The next time we do this walk it will be snowing...
