  11. Zips in the MLS, NASL, USLPro 2012 Season Thread

    Sarkodie's complete disappearance is really a surprise to me. I wonder why.

    he's was listed as injured for Fantasy soccer.

    The question becomes if Cameron leaves, does Hainault stay outside or will Kofi Sarkodie finally get a chance (he's almost healthy). If Sarkodie is the long-term plan at right back it's time for him to get playing time, which leaves you with a plethora of central defenders.

    I'll presume you are hoping for a miracle to happen in which OSWho decides to play AT Akron again this year. Good luck with that.

    You've questioned this before and I responded. It appears you refuse to believe the WVU game has potential to break the 6,000 mark when it's going to be played a couple hrs after the football team finishes their game against Western Michigan at the Info. There's also very good odds the Zips will be ranked #1 in the country at that point.

    With your attitude, you should take all your personal finances and invest it in the SPXU.

    Local people want to attach themselves to a local team that wins. We all want local pride. The reason why that school in Columbus (ohio state) has so many fans here is because they win and have the word Ohio attached to it. That name gives the locals a sense of pride because they win.

    We've witnessed UAkron soccer set attendance records year after year because of winning. This trend will continue as Akron continues to win.

    The nice thing about soccer is the atmosphere created by the fans. Some people probably go to the games to witness or be a part of that atmosphere. This helps bring up the odds that someone will return for another game. Akron is doing their part by winning. The winning ways are bringing in new people. It's our job as fans to create an atmosphere that hooks them in.

    My plan with Rubber City Brigade is to work with the Ak Rowdies with creating a pro-like atmosphere for Zips soccer games. We're planning Tifos and will be tailgating for every home game. AK Rowdies will be for students, RCB will be for everyone.

    Let's not worry about soccer vs baseball and focus on what we can control. Let's grow soccer in Akron even more.

    Here's an amazing article that all soccer haters should read http://www.kansascity.com/2012/05/25/36276...orting-kcs.html

    “Hopefully they’ll say we’re winners,” he says. “That we’re winners and that we’re local. Those are the two biggest brand personalities we’re trying to push.”

    How many Akron soccer fans became fans because of Akron's success. As Akron continues to make National Championship runs, more fans will start to watch it.

    An NASL team could do very well in Akron. I expect the Zips to exceed the 6,000 attendance mark this year in soccer for the WVU game which is scheduled to play a few hours after the Western Michigan home football game. Expecting people to attend both games.

    In 2011, Soccer was the most attended sport by average in Akron whether you want to believe it or not, Akron basketball is second. The football team had less than 1,000 people 3 times last year (inside info). I expect the Bowden hype to draw a couple decent football crowds this year so it's possible football will retake the top spot.

    The Summit Assault's failure was caused by the lack of awareness the program existed. The name was also awful. With proper management and a deep pocket investor, maybe we'll get that NASL team.

    How many times do you have to be told that baseball plays a 162 game season. It is TWICE as long as the next longest season (NBA). No one could possibly hope to catch MLB in total attendance. I understand that you really like the Indians/baseball and really don't like soccer, but sticking your head in the sand and saying "LALALALALALALALALALA" doesn't change the fact that the popularity of soccer and baseball are going in completely different directions.

    There are a few posters that deny soccer's relevance and still think Lebron James and Adrian Peterson would be the best soccer players ever had they applied their athletic ability towards it. Dr. Z is not one of them and has been supportive of soccer on Zipsnation.
