Calgary soccer supporters group?

[shermanator]

Taking a cue from the Hamilton Soccer Supporters Group thread, would anyone here be interested in starting up a Calgary Soccer Supporters Group? It may seem a little ludicrous now, as there is no team in sight. However, if there were to be a team placed in Calgary in the future, this group would have a grassroots movement already in place.

Possible events to get organized around could be:
- Canada World Cup Qualifying matches
- Road trips to Edmonton for the Canadian Championship and the odd NASL game (to help support FC Edmonton and their commitment to developing Canadian players)
- Calgary United FC games (assuming the league is still in place next year)
- World Cup 2014 / Women’s World Cup 2015 / Olympics

Thoughts? I know there are a few people from Calgary on this board.

I'd be interested as I already support Calgary United and have only missed one game since their inception.
Though I can't see travelling up to Edmonton as I find it impossible to cheer for any team from there (but I do want them to survive).
I also pray to the Football God's on a nightly basis that we do get a Pro outdoor team back here in Cowtown, if not "Calgary United" then may I be the first to suggest "F.C.F.C." ? (Fort Calgary Football Club) you know it makes sense ;o)
We could meet up at the next World Cup qualifier to discuss this topic further.

Count me in.

Hey Stuart, I really think you guys going to lical AMSL matches would be good for getting out and seeing great Alberta talent. The Callies, Dinos, Villians, and one other that I can't think of right now play against the likes of the Edmonton Drillers and the FC Edmonton Acadamy. I might drive down for a couple of Acadamy games. I hope to see you guys there.

Aren't Callies one of the top clubs in Canada? I thought they won back-to-back senior men's Challenge Cups a few years back.

Indeed they are! They have a rich history, as well as other AMSL clubs, such as the Edmonton Scottish.

Calgary fans: I suggest you support Caledonian, they are your best bet at movin' on up to the east side, as it were.
