You would have to set the ticket prices lower, and then the question becomes if it's worthwile bringing in a real grass field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Oranje Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Cheaper than building a new stadium.. quote:Originally posted by Jarrek If it's a World Cup Qualifier, I have no doubt that it could pull in up to 30,000.

DJT Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Why is it a "Liverpool game"? Why isn't it a "Porto game"? Let's be fair and call it a "Liverpool vs. Porto game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because nothing official has been said that it will be Porto playing them. Only Liverpool has been confirmed. quote:Cheaper than building a new stadium. Once - Absolutely. 10 games?

Some meaningless Blue Jays game? Hahah, I can't believe the irony of your statement! The Blue Jays are their team, and Blue Jays games, while clearly in abundance, all count for the final league standings. Meanwhile, Liverpool vs. Porto will count for diddly-squad. Now that is what I call "meaningless". So nyah nyah nyah. Err.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 The Blue Jays aren't really Toronto's team. They are just as much a bunch of foreigners as the players on Liverpool and Porto, they just play here more regularly. And their games might "count", but they are even more meaningless than any type of soccer friendly that gets played here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to extend on that, in July the Blue Jays will be playing for next year</u> while Porto/Liverpool will be playing for next month</u>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your analogy to work better you should have stated players from the Chelsea area of London, since their are a ton of teams from London. For a sense of "hometown" heroes in the community it doesn't mean that you need to have people who live within 5 minutes of the Skydome or Stamford Bridge but at least a few Canadian players, never mind Ontario or Toronto, would help. At least Chelsea isn't made up completely of foreigners and having been to Stamford Bridge I can tell that there is a greater sense of community between the team's fans & the club than the Blue Jays currently have in Toronto. By the way, for someone who claims not to care at all about this match, you are spending quite a bit of time posting in a thread about it.

bubbles Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 To be fair to Chelsea, this year they do actually have 4 players born within a tube ride of Chelsea. Terry(45) Lampard(51) Cole(45) and Johnson(28) Number in brackets is the total number of appearances each player has played this season so they are not just window dressing. Lampard actually leads the club in appearances with 50 starts and one as a sub in league and all cups combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
