Toronto FC - Here we go again

[Juan Albion]

Toronto FC are in the process of instantly selling out their entire season's home games.

Got tickets for games against New England, Kansas, DC and Columbus for myself. Much better than last year when I only managed to get tickets for one game. Can't wait.

This makes no sense - I'm not surprised you have had no response.

And shouldnt you be playing in the Canadian League (if there is one)?

 

[surrey jim]

how big is the stadium?

 

[Juan Albion]

how big is the stadium?

Just over 20,000.

Did any of our other Ontario-based Seagulls get tickets?

Perhaps we need a name for us? How about Toronto and Ontario Seagulls Supporters (or TOSSers for short)?

They're part of the MLS. They've also only existed since 2006.

I think all the teams playing in American leagues from various sports , Ice Hockey , Baseball and Football wouldn't have such a high profile in a domestic league because their relative success is based on the media.

I've been reading some stuff about Toronto FC. The descriptions have said it's the MLS team with the most fanatical genuinely soc... (sorry I can't say that word) football-loving fanbase, in a way any European fan would completely recognise. Every game sold out, loads of singing, great atmosphere etc. (rubbish on the pitch, but you can't have everything)

The only thing looking at the stadium is looks very open...

As we know here, noise evaporates without a roof over the stands, are you getting any? And a bigger stadium?

Sounds like a great club to encourage if the MLS is to properly take root...

Here's two sections of TFC fans chanting to each other in French just to confuse the Yankee opponents.

And you should note it is TFC not TSC.

BTW, Sepp Blatter, football genius, has just strongly suggested the MLS should adopt the same season as the rest of the world. Do you think he knows it can get down to -30C in Toronto in February?

There's a wooden spoon floating around up there someplace, JA. Wouldn't have an explanation for that utensil's presence, would ye?

I thought it was only Quebec where they spoke French.

(And before some wise guy replies, I know they also speak it in France!)

Don't tell that to New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province.

But these are almost certainly English-speaking Canadians, making fun of the fact that the stereotypical dumb Yank thinks all Canadians speak French.

Hmmm, same number as the Revolution then. That's not too bad.

Notice how David Beckham's Galaxy were runners-up for the spoon last season?

 

[Hove Lagoonery]

I believe Quebec doesn't even recognise English officially? I remember a documentary some years ago about some laws they introduced which restricted the display of English with some bizarre results - can you give us some examples?

I thought Torontarians were yanks !

Torontarians probably are but Torontonians most certainly aren't.

Is it true you can drink beers at that stadium? Has there ever been a pitch invasion?Are the stewards better or worse than ours?

Beer? Absolutely.

Pitch invasions?

I guess that was after the game as there's no-one left in the seats.

Never noticed the stewards.
