There is no media coverage to speak of. We get a Neil Davidson story once a month, and, if you can afford it, the Molinaro blogsite. After that you are into the world of clickseekers... and then twitter/reddit, which are sewers.
I come here because, uniquely, there are, call it, 20-30 informed people with interesting informed opinions about what is going on. This place is about good, informed analysis. Interesting discussion. The place to dig deeper the way the media might, if it existed.
This is the TFC coffeehouse. Not the nightclub.
This is not what all fans want. Many of the people that have "passion" and are legit fans, but they might still "wreck" the coffeehouse. When I flew down to Guadalajara to see TFC in the CCL final, I was surrounded by Innebriati on the same plane, and wound up talking to some of them. I found their opinions about the game/team pretty uninteresting, even wild and unbelievable - but boy did they bring the atmosphere in the stadium, and of course, they are fully legit supporters.
If you are here, just be part of some good conversation, in the only place it's happening - that's my ask.
