Toronto FC
I'm delighted to of heard the news about Toronto FC being created and going into the MLS. I'm from Dublin and am a massive Shamrock Rovers fan and I'm moving to Toronto for a year next year so it'll be good to have a team to support while in Canada. Toronto will be my favourite MLS team now and I will be keeping an eye on who they sign and their results.
What sort of attendances are they expecting?? Will they fill their 20,000 seater ground?? Is their any Toronto FC fans forums online?? Hope Toronto will have some hardcore fans!!!

I have a suggestion for a nickname for Toronto FC, better than the boring TFC.
Let's call them the Yorkmen.
The ownership is hoping for the 13 to 15k range.quote:What sort of attendances are they expecting?? Will they fill their 20,000 seater ground?? Is their any Toronto FC fans forums online?? Hope Toronto will have some hardcore fans!!!

I still prefer either Grenadiers or Rifles. Same historical vein as your suggestion but a bit more interesting IMHO.quote:Originally posted by Richard

Nah, Grenadiers or Rifles is way too bland and obvious. Yorkmen at least will have those 'damned yankees' wondering what the hell we're talking about and has a very clear historic relevance
Also, remember the target demographic in the Toronto region. Your suggestions, especially as illustrated, might have some understandably negative connotations for some folks.
Thanks for that. 15,000 would be a good attendance especially for a team just starting off. I look forward to going to their matches anyway. Would be good for a Canadian team to do well in the MLS.quote:Originally posted by Steve B

I'd probaly agree with the Yorkmen nickname if I knew what the Yorkmen were!!
A lot of "nicknames" were discussed in these forums when the team was first announced. I was a fan of using the nickname "Yorkies"...shorter, catchier and has few different conontations.quote:Originally posted by Richard

C'mon you Yorkies! TOfan's nickname is still the best.
Mike.
I would something that is strong without being cheesie. Yorkman is just too dull a sounding name for me to be interested in.quote:Originally posted by Richard
