The number may be a little deceiving, but isn't it good to be talking about soccer ratings that are in the same ballpark as NBA playoff ratings?

Agreed. If Red Bull were a New York sized version of the TFC success, it would make sense. As it is...

The only thing that does give me any hope that a div 2 team could survive at Lansdowne is that the Ottawa Fury are involved. These guys know how to run soccer teams, although I still doubt that they...

OSEG have agreed to guarantee the CFL team for 5 years, but I wouldn't count on them being around beyond that. USL-1 or NASL soccer is unlikely to flourish in that stadium, but again that doesn't...

The city get nothing back from the stadium. OSEG have complete control of the stadium rent-free for 30 years.

The quality of the soccer isn't that much of a problem, if you enjoy going to the games. If you are just going to watch on tv, then why watch MLS or USL/NASL at all, why not watch the EPL or other...

I'm tempted to say that it is because Toronto fans have had so much practice supporting losing teams, but in reality I have nothing but respect for the way they support their teams.

All teams will...

Does anyone think that second division soccer is likely to be successful in a 24,000 seat stadium in Ottawa? Has anyone spoken to John Pugh to ask him why he thinks the Fury will succeed under those...

It's tough to say if Ottawa would get behind a 2nd league team. I struggle with what the atmosphere will be like if they draw the league average of around 5,000 in a 24,000 seat stadium with open...

As a number of people have already said, there is no way Melnyk is going to pay for a team to play out of a stadium that he doesn't control. The only way we are going to see MLS at Lansdowne is if...

CTV reporting tonight that there is a move towards MLS in Kanata rather than CFL at Lansdowne:

I think you are right, but they would be welcome in Ottawa :canada:

If Montreal want in, they had better hurry up and start building bridges, because once Ottawa get their SSS approved, I believe that MLS will go with them for 2012 and Montreal will be out for a...

There is no dream downtown SSS being put forward by anyone. All that is in the mix is a dream SSS in Kanata (which is still part of urban Ottawa, and only 20 mins from downtown), or a 'downtown' CFL...

A march of around 200 supporters would be considered an embarrassment in Ottawa and would be jumped on as a sign that more people wanted the CFL back.

How are 200 people supposed to convince...

Jeez. What a jerk!!!!

Give me a break people. First, why would you hear from Ottawa fans on a TFC forum???

Second, I'm sure Vancouver's people are not ALL soccer people. The interview in question was with Cyril...
