DJT Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 From http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Soccer/2003/12/05/278095-ap.html: Glasgow Celtic to tour Toronto and Boston next summer GLASGOW (AP) - Scotland's Glasgow Celtic will play two friendlies against European clubs in Toronto and Boston between July 25 and Aug. 1. Last summer, Celtic played pre-season matches in the United States against England's Manchester United and Argentina's Boca Juniors. Manchester United will play three games in the United States next summer. "Last season's trip to America was very enjoyable, so we are delighted to be going back next July," Celtic coach Martin O'Neill said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 They'll probably move real grass into the SkyDome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrek Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Manchester United is a strong possibility. Could Rangers come here? How about an Italian team? Juventus? Or better yet ... AC Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 It will have to be at SkyDome with grass. So this could have been an unexpected opportunity for our senior men's team to play a match in Toronto, but that would be impossible at the end of July/beginning of August 2004. The Toronto Blue Jays are tentatively scheduled to play at home July 25-28, but SkyDome would be available July 29-August 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desigol Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 A visit to Toronto of Celtic would be nice, but it would have been better for them to play the Lynx in order to raise the profile of the A-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog2006 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 It might help the a-league but you would not draw as many fans.A game vs manchester or ac milan will sell out very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 It will be at the Dome on real grass during the MLB All-Star break sometime between July 12-15. The likely oppoent is AS Roma. Champions World was very close to having a match in Toronto last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Actually, I was just guessing about the date. But the other stuff should be pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
