jimmynow Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 ya, the commish was responding to the question of all domestics in MLS being canadian or american. (this won't happen). but at the end the deputy commish clarifies and says the competition committee is looking at rule changes for TFC. Sounds like some tweaking will happen. Steven Goff, the washington post reporter, noted today some rumours from an MLS Cup party.. one of them is that next week some rule changes for TFC will be announced.

Since the Stadium was built with a plan to expend it it's not much of a problem especially when you see how fast it was built. At that rate it could be expended to 18000 in a month.

Lets face it, the standard of Saputo is below the NSS which is below the other SSS in the MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you see a match at the stadium i think you would be in a better position to comment on the overall quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love the stadium and the feel a fan will get from it is going to be great. But look at the construction of the North and east stands. Its slapped together. Why do you think its so cheap to build ($15 mill). get over yourself and the blinders you have for the stadium. Outside the covered stand, the amenities are not going to jump out at anyone. Well, maybe the lack of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPB Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 In addition to Vancouver and Montreal, has there been (realistic) talk of any other potential location for a Canadina-based MLS expansion team? If not Montreal or Vancouver, then, where? Nowhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAS Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 quote:Originally posted by Daniel Red Deer Town FC! I remember having insomnia one night and passing the time by trying to present a realistic business case for this. It was fun, but I remember someone actually felt the need to try to punch holes in my not-so-sophisticated "business plan". Anyways, back to the thread. I have always felt that my level of support for TFC would be directly linked to its' usefulness for the CMNT. I am definitely a "country before club" type. Although I have always believed that the superiority of top Euro leagues over MLS for most of Canada's starting XI meant that TFC's biggest contribution would be its' academy (to help prevent future JDG2 situations), the prospect of ten foreign starters (just a Canadian keeper when Brennan is out) is scary. MoJo should chase after wins, but not at the expense of the club's long-term prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
