Don't know if anyone listens to World Soccer Daily (Sirius 125, podcast), but they mentioned the Crew v. TFC match yesterday. Someone had emailed the show about how 1,000 TFC fans are traveling to Columbus for the opening game. The host's reply was "that will be more than the number of Columbus fans at the game." How much longer are we going to take this? It is time to represent! Everyone should try to convince at least one other person they know, who doesn't usually attend games, to come to opening day. Heck, buy them the extra ticket if they need persuasion. Just make them buy you the beer that dayQ
Just tell them we have a 50/50 chance of starting the season with a winning record. (Or would that be a 33/66 chance if you consider the possibility of a draw?)
Now now. I've heard once they finish the indoor plumbing next month the electric light will follow easily within the next 5 years.
If I was a TFC fan I would be running to Columbus to just so I could watch soccer on natural grass instead of a plastic pitch.
I've read reports that they have up to 8 working generators in Ontario alone. I can only imagine how horrible the smoke from the burning beaver pelts must smell. It would make me lose my Kraft Dinner.
Nothing against Canadians in general, but some of the Toronto fans remind of the joke about the Canadian national spice being arrowroot, and that every kitchen is equipped with a blander.
haha, that's quite funny. And even funnier is comparing a 2nd or 3rd rate city like Columbus to Toronto.
You really are cowardly, and the jokes are horrible not even funny. But I love the hint of desperation in this thread. By the way after talking to your front office, I am shocked what a low opinion they have of Columbus fans. They actually laugh about you on the phone. One agent said "If I had my way I would sell out the stadium to you" Beaver, electricity jokes????? Tell me you can do better. I don't even make Iraq or Bush jokes anymore, to easy.

...until someone over at FirstEnergy (Ohio) decides it's a good idea to not maintain the service grid, resulting in a domino effect which blacks out the entire northeast - 50 million users /$6Bn dollars - again.
Yeah but we can compare ourselves to Mississauga. Similar in-city-limits population, the big difference is that we're not sucking off a big city's tit over here in Columbus. Seriously, Toronto is nice. I would move there. But I'm still gonna root for a yellow soccer team even if I did move there, at least when they are playing against TFC. I'd root for TFC the rest of the time, unless it was in my best interests not to (eliminating the Crew from playoffs, playing vs the Crew, etc). So, let's compare Kansas City to Toronto? Or Salt Lake City. Still no comparison. But you guys can't drive to those places, so you hate on Columbus instead. Give me a break. I look forward to you guys cheering on HoserFC right on through a loss.
It takes 20,533. Eleven to do it (poorly, I might add) and 20,522 (the capacity of BMO) to tell them what an awesome job they're doing even though they're the worst in the league at doing it.
It hurts me to say this, but I might actually start hating Toronto fans more than Sh!tcago fans.....never thought I would have a fan base more than the Fire fans......sad days....
Now see thats funny. Took a little thought. Still not as funny as your sales reps comments about the very fans there suppose to sell tickets to. Seriously HardHatMike, as the leader of the Columbus Supporters group, you got issues with your front office. Maybe it was just this one guy or he was having a bad day. He should look for another line of work.
Now that is funny. BTW, looking forward to the match. It should be fun for supporters of both sides! My only sorrow is that I'll have to be watching it on TV or the 'net.
Thank you. And I do appreciate the concerns over the FO and honestly a lot of those people are just as disenfranchised by the team's past performance as many of us are, hence the pervading sense of doom and gloom. Mind you, that's not an excuse at all for whatever comments might have been said, but it is a tough sell in a town that's dominated by the Great Nut. You do have a much, much larger base to pull fans from, after all (5.5 mil as opposed to our 1.4 mil).
Is that why you wear a Hard hat? so when your on your knees the Great Nut doesnt crack your head. ? Just curious is all
Nice try, sweetheart. Now run along back to the monkey bars and let us grown-ups have our conversation. Maybe when we're finished we can go get you a nice yellow snow cone.
