ollie Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 The MLS season kicks off at the end of the week. I was torn between starting an FC or MLS thread. Is there much interest around here?Anyone know which station is showing the Chivas/FC match on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I drove by the stadium twice today. It looks good. Nice seats and the openness of the stadium works perfect for the C.N.E.. The only big problem is that there's no pubs within a 15 minute walking distance. But, it is on the Bathurst streetcar line, which goes right by the Wheat Sheaf = 10 minute streetcar ride or less.

Kanada Kev Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 TIme to open a pub! Or at least sell kind brews out of a cooler on a skateboard before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 They are building some kind of beer garden outside the stadium, so that will do in a pinch. The Wheat Sheaf isn't far away and you could walk to the stadium from there in 15 minutes or go to Ontario Place for beer. There's a couple of pubby sort of restaurants on site there.

But, if the beer garden prices are outrageous, then hiking it for 15 minutes isn't the worst option. I was kinda hoping a pub would be within crawling distance to and from the stadium.

ollie Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 i remember he was alright in his sunderland days, looking pretty long in the tooth now though7 goals over 2 Championship seasons isn't a ringing endorsement for a striker.Could be interesting if Toronto continues to stink it up in front of their sold out crowds.

M.O.B.E Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I just watched the game on CBC. The commentator sux balls. Craig Forrest is alright. The team really needs a confidence boost but it looks like once they get it, the results will come. The supporters really turned out and thats great to see.

The guy doing play-by-play, Nigel Reed, is a news announcer on The Fan 590. It was his first game ever and it showed. I think they gave him the job because of his English accent. Still, he can only get better, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 The crowd was great and the atmosphere translated to TV. Made me wish I was there. This was the first MLS match I've seen that didn't look like a farce. I really wanted a goal to see that place explode. I just wish the broadcast was in HD.
