Will Hartford Athletic ever win a game?

[ZooCougar]

This is a minor offense that happens all the time. He paid his fine. Move on.

Interestingly, the guy contributed to the GOP. So the idea that he was buying influence in Hartford (or Connecticut for that matter) doesn't consider reality.

CT is so dumb.

It shouldn’t take this to build a modest soccer stadium that people will actually enjoy.

CT is easily one of the most boring places imaginable and god forbid they build more things that people actually enjoy.

No bitching so far. Today must have been a good showing.

why didnt you go and report back?

$2 beers is smarter than giving away tickets - credit for that.

Soccer is so great. This was a rip-roaring game today. Anyone with ESPN+ looking for a good game to watch should check it out. You can probably skip until the 55 minute mark if you're pressed for time.

Highlights.

Thought about it, but ultimately didn't go through.

Apparently it was easier to launch a space shuttle than put up light poles.

The Space Shuttle blew up twice. HA doesn't have that margin for error.

Let there be light:

Nice crowd last night, maybe the market prefers night games.

Every match ought to be on Sat night in the summer. I stopped buying SKC tickets because of all the Sunday night games.

The east/GA stands fills in pretty much every game. The west stand/assigned tickets seem more sparse.

With Dillon now complete, HA will have a full offseason to market themselves with a permanent home, with no extended away trip to start the season, and no "temporary" home at Rentschler. The worst is behind this team.

Excited to check it out tomorrow night, even if I have to watch a Ray Reid team to do it.

 

[Pudge]

Ok

I’m officially on the Ray Reid must go log in site

We - UCONN - should be a National Power in Men’s Soccer.

Hey UConn Soccer, when you lose Pudge...

 

[Palatine]

This is one way the club is increasing revenue. It should sell out.

It’s like the next best thing to Manchester United.

There are more Jamaicans in Hartford than Englishmen.

Even better crowd tonight despite imminent mosquito death. Brutal result, though. HA gave up a draw in the 7th minute of what was supposed to be a 4 minute extra time.

The whistle should have blown prior to the play, but that was just a brutal error to make at the end of what should have been a nice victory. After a season of defensive blunders, this team seems to be teetering on the edge even when they play well.

 

[Waquoit]

Great 2nd half for Athletic last night. Four unanswered goals and a clean sheet against a team that needed the win.

More importantly, the Hartford Marathon changed their promotional color scheme, I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

 

[zls44]

They played great last night. Think with a normal schedule next year they can be in the middle of the pack in the East, but player movement in these leagues is always a crapshoot.

 

[Palatine]

The HA is 12 in attendance in the overall league. I suspect they will climb closer to their attendance ranking next year.

29-35. Why even bother? Some teams getting 500 a game.
