I have to admit I had to laugh at that result last night. I saw the tie score and that San Jose had two players off on Red Cards when I went to bed last night and just assumed TFC would win. So when I heard the score this morning I had to laugh.
I actually feel sorry for the majority of TFC fans (not the ones who trash the Argos/CFL). Since day one of the franchise they've supported their team pretty well - and their team EVERY SINGLE YEAR has disappointed them with much poorer than expected performance every single season.

It’s time to call a spade a spade
mid week game and empty seats
picture right off the Nancy boys site.
Flicking through the channels during commercial break in Sask./Edm. game, and it looks like TFC has another half capacity "sell-out" again! :roll: :roll:
About 23,000 at the TFC game today, which is more than the Argos get but on a perfect Sunday afternoon, about to clinch a playoff spot, and TFC apparently having a bigger and more passionate fan base than Barcelona and Man U combined, really should have been a sellout.
Curious as to what the TV numbers were with the Jays, Esks-Riders and NFL on at the same time. Probably more people at the stadium than watching on TSN2.
They announced 24,000 today. If last week was really 17,000 actually there - which having been at that game - I have serious doubts about - today had at least 5,000 - 6,000 more people there from what I saw on TV. So an announced crowd of 24,000 is not far off.
They don't have many fans watching on TV - that goes without saying - but they do have some loyal fans who show up in bigger numbers on a regular basis than the Argos fan base. That's for sure and with the come from behind tie today - they stay in first place and clinched a playoff spot.
Yesterdays TFC game at BMO Field was on FOX in the USA - and it got the best rating of an MLS game this season with a 0.8 rating which translates to over a million viewers.
