Former FC Edmonton staff out robbing banks for a living now 😂 #FCEd
Ludwig Amla, Obeng Tabi and Julien Bruce are amongst the former #CanPL-ers in the XI for FC Laval this evening as they travel to York Lions Stadium in the #CanChamp!
Marseille-born #FCEd draftee Quentin Paumier captains the side after a career with les Carabins.
I’ll believe that the #CanPL is serious about bringing Edmonton back into the fold when they (and #OneSoccer) stop minimizing players time with #FCEd. Looking at you Wheeler.
Random #CanPL thought: the league not acknowledging the history or even the rabbit for #FCEd (for example not calling them “The Rabbits… EVER) really shows how misguided/what a miss the early years were. Too much focus on being artificial history rather than highlighting what made it different IMO
#FCED fat cock every day!
I am happy for Cavalry tonight.
You made us all proud.
Bonus points for the winner being an old FC Edmonton boy.

Tom Fath desperately wanted FC Edmonton to succeed, and between 2013 and 2017, we were getting roughly 3,500 fans.
That number isn't the "counting tickets distributed," but the stadium actually had 3,500.
Good years.
#FCEd #NASL
That would have sucked.
I get that the #CanPL doesn't draw NHL or MLS attendance numbers, but I have been following North American soccer for a veerrryyyy long time.
This league is insanely stable. #FCEd going was a healthy thing for the league. It also was a good lesson early on.
Well, if Ottawa hadn't backed out and been douche canoes about it, then they would have had seven solid clubs that first year (without #FCEd)
Instead, the Fury talked crap about Canadian soccer and wanted to cosy up to the yanks until Canada Soccer found their balls and desanctioned them.
#FCEd folding had literally nothing to do with the #CanPL.
They were thirty million in debt from their NASL days.
Everything about FC Edmonton was self-inflicted. I was excited that they were joining the CanPL, but looking back, the league shouldn't have accepted them.
LOL!
Good luck.
Now that FC Edmonton #FCEd is dead, maybe @oliveandyork.bsky.social can legally make copies?
As a late Eddies supporter, we miss Tobi. But I'm happy to see him succeed in the #CanPL. What a great season! @footsoldierssg.bsky.social

Oh man...
I found this as I was rummaging.

On the topic of Canadian soccer; I saw a "on this day" memory of mine from 2017 of a nearly full Clarke Field for an FC Edmonton match.

2. BTB: former FC Edmonton players involved in coaching and development, but the organisation as a whole feels like the spiritual successor of the #FCEd academy.
Which of the three Edmonton #yeg @league1alberta clubs have larger ties to #FCEd?
A thread.
1. Edmonton Scottish: one of Canada's oldest clubs, they also have been developing great players for decades. Many former FC Edmonton players went to their AMSL team.
Oh my goodness.
My son wanted to go to a sports card expo in Sherwood Park, but I said no.
I got him a couple of packs from Tims, and then he wanted to see my old collection.
I found these buried away. The entire team from that year.

Jersey on, #yeg distilled whisky poured, game on. The only way this gets better is if the game were an #FCEd game.
I literally don't care what #FCEd next move is, but hear me out quick.
Keep FC Edmonton, let supporters buy shares, and move it to a new League1 Prairies. FC Edmonton never goes away, and people aren't hurt.
Edmonton then gets a new, real #CanPl team. Everybody wins.
Mark it in your calendars folks.
On Tuesday, October 12, 2021, FC Edmonton plays Ottawa Atlético.
This is the match of the season.
#FCEd #CanPL
I love the #CanPL far and away more than the #NASL.
Canadian rivals and Canadian development makes my voyageur heart sing.
#yeg hates #FCEd for reasons that have nothing to do with the league or the players on the pitch.
The difference between Paulus' FC Edmonton and Miller's FC Edmonton, is that this current team looks like it can find ways to win even if they don't have a perfect match, and the previous team consistently found ways to lose. To the point of bloody stomach ulcers.
#CanPL #FCEd
Jeff Paulus is saying all the things I have been wishing to see in Canadian football.
Elation is a mild understatement.
He gets it. He absolutely gets it.
