My city is getting a soccer club that will play in the fourth division

>>150859015 (OP)
you have to go back, jose.

>>150859015 (OP)
Which city are you in? Do they have a stadium? Do you think the club can make an impact in the city? Are you planning to attend matches?
It sounds interesting. Starting a club in the modern day ...

>>150859047
don't ask questions to an illegal chicano, dumbass. he'll try to rape you if you question him too much.

>>150859042
They call it football. Only wypipo and blakpipo call it soccer here.

>>150859047
>Which city are you in?
Memphis.
>Do they have a stadium?
Yes, with 2500 seats.
>Do you think the club can make an impact in the city?
Not really.
>Are you planning to attend matches?
Yes, assuming the tickets are cheap.

>Memphis
rip 901
will this be NPSL or UPSL?

>>150859357
USL2

>>150859042
More and more white people.are getting into soccer here. The best attended MLS teams are in white cities

Burger league has lower divisions? I thought you had no relegation/promotion

>>150859490
they don't have relegation or promotion, but they have minor leagues for smaller cities that MLS has deemed not worth granting franchises, too.

>>150859517
Do these lower leagues have promotion and relegation?

>>150859442
completely forgot about usl2

>>150859532
i don't think so but i'm not sure now that you ask.

>>150859085
I thought you already had a club, but I see they disbanded in 2024. You live in a bigger city than I expected, so yeah, sounds impossible to make an impression a city with an NBA team
2,500 seats is very cute. Might be comfy
I hope you'll get cheap tickets and decent fan culture

>>150859532
no.
usl2/upsl/npsl are all 4th tier semi-pro/amateur leagues that compete rather than combining for one solid league.
USL might add pro/rel within their pyramid of uslc/usl1/usl2 but it'd be really hard due to travel for these smaller teams

>>150859015 (OP)
You mean Smithfield Saint Germain?

>>150859555
If USL adds relegation and promotion it will per definition be the real American league

Nice.

>>150859605
sure but it's still dwarfed by mls, they aren't even close to the same level in any way.
avg attendance is like 5k vs 22k, tv deal non-existent, players are trash, etc

>>150859605
They should just get that process over with already. I know we talk relentlessly about nobody in our country giving a shit about soccer/footy, but there’s still a large enough player pool to establish a plethora of additional teams and form the pyramid structure.
Unless you're a 35 year old washed up player from Europe, all professional soccer players over here get paid like shit, and only small handfuls of nerds follow MLS and USL, so the act of getting relegated shouldn’t be too impactful.

Yank, it's not a real club unless it serves peadogs.

>>150859015 (OP)
Do you have like relegation-promotion in the US?

>>150860248
No, but they're trying to add it

>>150859015 (OP)
Nice! Hope your team gets promote......wait

>>150859085
nice
I’ve been to a couple Nashville SC matches and they were a ton of fun

Do people care about the USL in Freedomland?

>>150860741
In my country, nobody knows what it is

>>150859626

That’s called soul. Local sunday league team at the local park with beer and hotdogs against the neighboring town’s team in division 2846183

if you are a true american, ie of pure anglo stock, you need to engage in the truest of anglo pastimes: getting drunk at the footy and hurling abuse at everyone (your players, their players, the manager, the ref, the fans)

>>150860954
The final anglo boss swearing slurs at Wembley.

I live in a city with a decently run, decently popular USL Championship team and the answer is not really, the college teams are more popular and much more tied in with the identity of being from here. But the USL still gets an attendance of like 8-10k and local sponsorships which is probably enough to pay the guys idk math teacher money and run the thing profitably, and it hasn't really been around that long so it will get less "plastic" over time.

I follow them very casually, like I'll go to games sometimes just because it's nice out and the stadium is a bike ride away from me. I would struggle to name more than a few of the players.

I think the whole enterprise has more in common with US minor league sports (family friendly, good game day experience with stuff like food/drink, minimal attachment to the team unless you are a weird capo who sings) than anything abroad. I would like to see it eventually build up to promotion-relegation with the MLS but I understand why that would never get buy-in from MLS team owners

>>150860945
yes but here that would lead to bankruptcy for a team
you need several thousand fans if you wanna be above a local amateur league club

Business idea - the Californian Premier League - huh yeh? huh huh?

you offer to play, I bet there's a few spots left

>>150859015 (OP)
That’s cool!
