Friday evening we will be hosting our ‘Battalion Chant Night’ at Stonewalls (339 Yrk Blvd) from 7pm-9pm
Come down, have a beer, learn the words to our songs and chants, and think up some new ones.
We will have scarves and tshirts for sale.
All are welcome.
Our last event saw close to 100 Forge FC fans turn up to talk soccer and plan our groups future, as well as having Kyle Bekker come and say a big hello to everyone.
This time we will have far more to talk about as we are almost two months away from the CanPL opening game.
Saturday 11.30am to 2pm.
Bring your scarves, have a beer and get to know everyone in the group.
As always we will have scarves for sale, and begin our plans to make section 112 the loudest in Canada.
New members are always welcome, the group is entirely made up of like-minded people who love soccer and are excited for Hamilton to once again have a professional soccer team.
See you all there!

Now the holidays are over, it’s time to get down to the planning for April and the kick off of the Canadian Premier League and Forge FCs home opener.
4 players have been announced, but there is still so much to come. More players, schedules, jersey releases and much much more.
Bring your scarf, bring your friends, bring your ideas. Another great chance to meet everyone in the group, have a drink and some food and help shape the real start of this group for the season ahead.
To all newcomers, please feel free to come along and get to know everyone. It wasn’t that long ago we were 4 people in a pub dreaming about the season starting, we are now over 350 strong.

Barton St. Battalion Charity Cup kicks off on the 18th of October, playing on the same pitch we will all be watching Forge FC, Tim Hortons Field. Teams from Niagara, Mississauga, Kitchener, Forge FC as well as our own Battalion will be competing to raise money for the brilliant Interval House of Hamilton, their mission being ” Violence free lives for all women, children and communities”. Very pleased to say 100% of the money raised will be donated to them.
As for the format, an 8 team, 7v7 tournament, (including goalkeepers) where each team will play 3 x 20 minute games, plus a final will be played that evening. There will be 2 groups of four teams competing, the winner of each group advances to the final. The tournament is open to men and women. We request players be over the age of 16. There is no limit to the amount of players per team, (we would suggest 12 minimum) and the cost to each player per team is a minimum of $10. Some teams have amazingly committed to $20 per player. After all, it’s for a fantastic charity!
If you want to register to play for Barton St. Battalion, please add your contact details to our sign up sheet by using the link: signup.com/go/RKPCkUr Our aim is to have at least two teams representing our Supporters Group. Skill level and fitness level are not a necessity! (*This signup form is not for other teams.*)
We are aware than many people might not have the opportunity to join in or attend, due to time or location, so we have also set up an online donations page chuffed.org/project/battalion-charity-cup
Please give any amount you can, it is more than greatly appreciated.
Let’s make this a great night of soccer under the floodlights, whilst raising lots of money for a truly worthy cause!
As we inch closer and closer to kickoff, the league will be covering various topics surrounding its clubs and supporters.
Earlier this week, Armen Bekadian with CanPL.ca sat down with our very own Allan Gorman to discuss where we’ve come from and where we hope to be going within the next few months.
Welcome home.
We’ve been patiently waiting for you.
On warm Thursday evening at a Tim Hortons Field, the club’s name, colour and badge were unveiled to all those in attendance.
Forge FC are the founding member of the Canadian Premier League. The Battalion were invited to stand behind the stage in the north end and participate in the proceedings.
The Forge FC website has a breakdown of the logo details and inspiration used to create it.
We’ve begun placing our $50 memberships, which will be credited towards season’s tickets. The club was gracious enough to grant us the first 75 membership placements. If you haven’t put down your deposit, please hit up the website and come join us. All are welcome.
The evening wrapped up at The Capitol Bar, for laughs, songs, beers and excitement.
Keep an eye out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for upcoming Battalion events. Join us.
