I'm nervous too.... My last 2 games at THF were the CPL Finals and Grey Cup.... Both ended in heartbreak. Hopefully the CMNT comes through and brings a win to Hamilton

Is Hamilton bad? I am looking forward to visiting a new city. Though we would just be there day of (visiting relatives the day before nearby).

It's got a bad reputation based on what it was 15ish years ago. It has definitely taken some steps in the right direction since then. There are some good pockets and some unfortunate ones as well.... Like any other city.

Like any city really. It's our little East Rutherford.

Yea from what I read, it's a post-industrial town where certain parts have seen a resurgence due with some gentrification due to artists/other cultural attractions coming into town. Sounds like many cities we have in the US too. I'm still excited to see a new place (if we get tix)!

And East Rutherford, ha! Any swamps there?

 

[Basement Cat]

Welp, the stadium is sold out before the general sale tomorrow :/

 

[Fulham]

Lots of coordinated buying campaigns to keep tickets out of yanks hands.

Now. We wait. Don't ruin this for me, covid.

I've never been to Hamilton but I do know they called it steeltown, which is reminiscent of pittsburgh.

It's going to be interesting if they can get arfield in the lineup.

Arfield looked like a key cog in the midfield not that long ago, and with the travel in this window, they will need all hands on deck.

I'm choosing to be optimistic on this front! We will be at that game on the 30th, you just got to believe :p

Probably by no means a huge upgrade, but good depth option maybe

EDIT: This is his grandmother's brother, so definitely a Canadian connection. He's a Canadian war hero - was a Canadian pilot in WWII who became a POW in Germany

Following in a line of great athletes named Sondre.

Serious note, never heard of him, but i'd slot him in on Vitoria's left side right away.
