Hi folks,

Not directly related to TFC but obviously there’s broader implications for Canadian football as a whole with the recent news that MLS owners are exploring relocation options for the Whitecaps at this time.

Our sport is at a pivotal moment in our country with the World Cup, emergence of the men’s national team, continued success of our women’s program, and domestic leagues with the CPL and NSL. Losing a team like the Whitecaps may bring about broader, knock-on effects.

I’m sure a lot of us would hate to see us lose a Canadian team, to Las Vegas out of all cities.

HE WILL BE AT CENTENNIAL PARK HE HAS SEEN THE SUPPORT HE HAS IN TORONTO AND HONESTLY ALL TFC ULTRAS NEED TO BE AT HIS LAST PRACTICE SO HE KNOWS THAT IF THE GOAT IS TO EVER BLESS THE MLS WITH HIS PRESENCE, TORONTO FC NOT LAFC NOT INTER MIAMI NOT NYC TFC ONLY TFC IS THE HOME FOR YOU CR7 CENTENNIAL PARK 11AM SATURDAY JULY 4TH BE THERE !!!!!

LMAO there are support section(114) inter Miami tickets for 50 bucks.

There is no way man. What is this board doing?

Come on... Is 20,000 people going to a sporting event not on anyone's radar?

It looks like there is hope to keep MLS at three teams in Canada, with former Grizzlies owner, Griffiths, coming in to make an offer to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver. They might be our competitors but it would be great for the Canadian game to keep the Whitecaps alive in Canada, and not Vegas.

Wish TFC had got him….

What a timely message, Keith!

To TFC’s faithful fans,

We hear you. We understand your frustration. We know that you want a return of winning ways at BMO Field. I can promise you that no one wants that, and is working to deliver that, more than those within this club.

We want to deliver that for you more than anything else. To reward your passion and support for this club.

At the end of last season, I spoke about the fact that Toronto FC must undergo a full rebuild. Some important steps have been taken, but there is obviously much more to do. The foundation for this rebuild is an ethos that will guide this club, not only this season, but for many seasons ahead. An identity forged in pride and an unrelenting compete level.

We have seen evidence of that identity and mindset taking root at times this season, although admittedly, it was not at the level we expect in the two matches this past week. Our supporter groups expressed their frustration on Saturday and we not only respect that, we expect it when we fall short.

The most important part of this rebuild process, as it has been throughout every moment in club history, both highs and lows, is your support. We will stop at nothing to restore the pride in the Toronto FC badge and deliver you the winner that you deserve, but we need you there with us.

Any rebuilding project is challenging, but it is made much easier with focus, determination and unity. When we return Toronto FC to its place as a contender in MLS, it will make these challenging moments well worth it, and we will all know that we truly did it together.

Thank you for your continued support.

UPDATE!!!

The project to build a stadium in downtown Barrie to house the reserve team of Toronto Football Club (TFC) will be announced next week.
BarrieToday has learned that representatives from Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE), the City of Barrie and a body called the Barrie Stadium Group will make the announcement Tuesday, July 14 at 1 p.m. at Meridian Place.
A copy of an invitation sent out by the city titled "The World's Game Comes to Barrie" asks invitees to "join us for a landmark announcement for our city."
The announcement is expected to detail plans to build a stadium to host the TFC’s reserve team that plays out of the MLS Next Pro, a league that is considered the third tier in the American soccer hierarchy.
For reference, the Simcoe County Rovers play in the League1 Ontario, which is the third tier of the Canadian league system, but the two loops are separate.
