Toronto FC

[Neil]

I managed to catch my first bit of Major League Soccer action yesterday with Toronto FC beating Colorado Rapids by "two to one", with the first goal being scored by Danny Dichio and ex-Man Utd player Terry Cooke on the right wing for Colorado. And me being me I even managed to get a photo of the second goal (which I'll put on here when they've downloaded!)

edited to add photos although it didn't matter because you're all in bed at 3.30am and the night is still young here ;)

Yes, it is Andy Welsh, don't know if he's the same guy mind...

That picture of the Main Stand with the CN Tower in the background is bloomin' brilliant Neil!

Fantastic!

20000 capacity according to the official site so a full house then?

I had a brief stop in Toronto a few years back and got to go up the CN Tower. They have a glass floor you can stand on and it is a very wierd experience looking down.

[Simon]

You been to the SkyDome (Rogers Centre) yet Neil? Its right next to the CN Tower isn't it?

One of my ambitions in life is to go and watch the Blue Jays there. :thumbsup:

How many does the stadium hold Neil and what was the attendance?About 22,000 I think and the crowd was a little over 20,000

One of my ambitions in life is to go and watch the Blue Jays there. :thumbsup:Yeah, I went on thursday night when they beat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 in what was apparently a dreadful game, although I enjoyed sitting there in front of the big tv screen high above the action and below the CN Tower standing overhead.

[Simon]

Sounds awesome Neil :cool:

You take any pictures? :notworthy:

[Woody]

Perhaps you could arrange some sort of Anglo/Canadian link up between ourselves and Toronto whilst over there Neil. They could loan us some Mounties, a couple of Moose's and a few cases of Labatts during their close season and we could send them Joe and Shandy during ours.:thumbsup:
