2 trialists, one at CB and one at MF. Sounds like a 4-3-3. And it’s an absolutely gorgeous day out here.
Feeling pretty confused about this since I don't see the tickets anywhere in my Ticketmaster account. I emailed tickets@bhmlegion.com yesterday evening (admittedly after regular work hours) asking about this and haven't heard anything back. Not sure if this is something other season ticket holders are experiencing or if it's just me.
Jay Heaps was on Mountain Radio this morning, and one of the things he mentioned is that AJ is injured. Sounds like he might be out for a little bit at the beginning of the season.
It isn't Legion FC-focused, but I found it interesting that Rob & Ryan have expanded into South America.
Might need 2 or 3 soccer balls out on the field for all these forwards….
Legion have signed a new young player as a prospect/project defensive midfielder.

As a player, he doesn't strike me as particularly noteworthy. But what IS noteworthy is that I take this as a sign of change for the organization. In previous years this is the type of player that would show up in friendlies and then be announced as a signing just before the season. So, I look at this as a definite sign of the club working to improve communication.
With the new season coming ahead, new signings, potential upgrades, yet same house. How is everyone feeling?
So, what do you think?

Curious to see his transition to a higher league.
I looked up something related to Hamouda, and found this write-up from the end of November.
That could be a very nice transfer down the road.
Kaylor Hodges posted info about this a few days ago, from a source close to New England.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Sacramento?
Poland?
Gonna be a fun year.
BWH just poster on Twits that he's looking for new stadium director.
What's that mean?
Per information from Chattanooga FC, Legion will have a closed friendly against them on Feb 8.
Huntsville has announced their slate of preseason friendlies, including one against Legion. Tickets are gen admission for $10
I am in Birmingham and want to try to get some gear from the team store before I have to go tomorrow. Does anyone know if the team store will be open today? It was closed when I went by.
Last summer, a new men's team started play in Montgomery, attached to the large YMCA program there, affiliated with Alabama FC. They played in the Gulf Coast Premier League, a regional summer league similar in quality to USL2 (closer than most people would think). In their first season they won that league's championship.
Tonight they announced that they're moving over to USL2 for next summer, where they'll be in the division with Legion 2 and Dothan United. They're also re-branding to Montgomery United.
There's also information floating around that Montgomery is going to have a pro team in USL League One, possibly as soon as 2026. It's not 100% clear if the USL2 team will be directly connected to the pro team, but they might be.
To be honest, I'm excited for this.
