    ^lol

    And edwardgr, yes, I do remember when Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa Bay had teams, and yes, I remember when the league took them away because the owners were bad(Tampa's was MLS itself) and the league was struggling. The Fusion got the shaft from the league, even though they had better attendance numbers that KC, Tampa Bay and San Jose(and just marginally behind Dallas). KC and Dallas fans can thank their lucky stars that the Hunts owned them otherwise the Fusion would still exist.

    I tried to get Paul involved with Philly MLS. Apparently he and Nick aren't the best friends or something.

    Chester to Harrison: 108 miles ;)
    However, Trenton (Union FC) to Harrison: 65 miles


    BTW the actual site of the Union FC dream was 400 Sullivan Way, Trenton, NJ 08628. The old Roebling Complex yard, which is now turning into a shopping mall or something.
