THE CRUST
For The Fans By The Fans

Welcome to The Crust, a fanzine for and by York United Supporters. You could call me the founder of Northern Corridor, which started as a spur of the moment social media post in March of 2021. In the midst of the rebirth of the CPL's GTA club and stuck locked down at home, I was worried that the pandemic might rob us yet again of a local club in a domes�c professional league and decided I would try and do something, anything, to hopefully help prevent this.
Most football supporters my age started following the sport with English and European clubs either handed down to us by immigrant parents or, a�er discovering the sport on our own, chosen due the fact there were no real op�ons on North American soil. Yes, MLS decided to come here, but it's an American League and what we needed, and have always wanted, is a proper Canadian League. Now we have one and it's up to us to keep it here.
Since that post, what Northern Corridor has become is a space where GTA and York Region football fans from all walks of life can come together and be a part of keeping this dream alive. Whether you were here before York9 FC ever kicked a ball or you've just arrived finding out about York United FC, we're all here for the same reasons. To support the Nine Stripes, the Blue and Green and to make match day at York Lions something memorable. To make it a place that the opposi�on hates to play. But most of all a place we can come together and celebrate our shared love for the beau�ful game. This group may have started with my one post but it will take all of us to keep it going and make it truly great. A space where hopefully lifelong friendships are made all out of a shared passion for our beloved York United FC.
I can't wait to see you all soon at York Lions Stadium for some football and to catch up and have some laughs. And because I'm starving....
Our bal� pies! OUR BALTI PIES!!
Are be�er than yours!
ARE BETTER THAN YOURS!!
Our bal� pies are be�er than yours...
