madmonte Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Sparked by an interesting discussion I was having earlier with people following the TFC Prez's comments, I gotta start a poll. If there was a Toronto CPL team, how many games would you actually go to? Let's assume there is like...8 teams doing a double schedule for 14 home games in total. Please only answer if you would plan to be a Toronto fan (or area, maybe you envision it in Vaughan, I don't know). BuzzAndSting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopherbashi Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I voted 1-4, but this is from someone who hasn't seen a Toronto sports team live in at least 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 i wouldn't commit to being a fan of any team yet (especially since they don't exist) plus I live a bit away as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Depends where and how much tickets are and also i think there is gonna be a 20 game season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Although it might not be indicated by my posts in the CPL topic, I would absolutely be a day one SSH. As to how many games I would be at - dependent on location and whether or not they try to go H2H against the Jays and TFC. Could honestly range anywhere from 25-100% based on those factors. Went a bit optimistic and took the 10-13 one. matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopherbashi Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have so many conflicting thoughts about a Toronto CPL team. Naming it after an outside city (ie. Brampton, Vaughan, Mississauga) is going to make it seem minor-league. Think if we did that everywhere - who would take Brampton vs. Laval seriously? At the same time, naming it Toronto would make finding a fan niche even more difficult, especially if your stadium isn't in Toronto proper.

Complete Homer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Voted 1-4, primarily because I split my time between Toronto and Hamilton currently, and my attendance would likely be split between Toronto and Hamilton in a similar way. As for TFC vs CPL, I think I'm going to drift towards becoming a season ticket holder for CPL and a playoff goer for TFC.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 1-4 as I live in the UK but would definitely make sure I saw a match on my annual Toronto visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hammer- Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As a Hamilton fan, I'd likely go when Hamilton played this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I voted for "1-4. I'm a fan, but for extraneous reasons I can't get to many games." My reason being having a young family. If the games were played close enough to me, and late enough that I wouldn't be sacrificing time from my kids (because they would be in bed) then that number would likely grow a lot. I would still be a TFC fan, but first and foremost I would be a TCPL fan... at least until they do TFC one worse and start a season 0-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC07 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It all depends where this team plays in GTA if I support them or not. Not only that, but also how ambitious this Toronto team will be compare to other clubs in CPL and Canadian MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TFC is still the closest stadium to you, TFC should be your club, regardless of your feelings towards CPL. If the CPL club is closer then there you go. Same will go for the Van and Mtl clubs.

Macksam Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 What kind of colour scheme do people think would work. I personally think a soccer version of the Flyers Stadium Series uniform would be awesome. Black accented by orange = Ivanovski94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
