Toronto should now just call themselves the Toronto Lympact or something like that.

Or better yet, how about the T.O Montreal Impact Reserves?

Seriously, I would be pissed off if I was a Toronto fan. mad mad mad

Judging by this board, Toronto doesn't have any fans.

Real fans start their own discussion boards where they can monitor and decide whats posted, they don't rely on others to host their discussions.

Hey. Not to take sides coz I like and respect the Whitecaps, the Impact and the Lynx. And hell, because I'm afraid of my main man, my BC homeboy, Krammerhead--but I gotta offer a little thought:

Sometimes the number of posts here isn't always a good indicator of a teams fan base.

We got two Spanish language forums for the Islanders. We have fans, it's just that some of us get tired of posting the same thing three times. Since we got a second one, the really nice independent one, only about three or four of us consistently post here. I personally still continue to do it because not everyone who may be interested in our team here reads and understands Spanish...

If you judged the amount of fans a team had by the posts on this board, this seasons posts especially, you'd wager that the teams with the fewest fans were Montreal, Vancouver Puerto Rico and Portland. The truth is those 4 teams are in the top 5 in the league attendance wise.

Conversely if you'd wager that the teams with the largest groups of fans would be Richmond, Atlanta, Virginia Beach, and Charleston. In reality 3 of those 4 teams are the teams with the poorest attendance in the league.

Back to Sigma's original point:

Yes, it is very stupid how the Lynx have passed their best players off to Montreal toward the end of every season. Not that I have to point it out, but trading away you best players is exactly the opposite of what any team should be doing. Especially when they get nothing back! I mean, what have the Lynx gotten from Montreal over the past three years? A couple of embossed soccer balls (number 4s, probably) and a some corner flags. It's ridiculous!

You wonder why you have trouble building a bigger fan base when you lose every year? It's not rocket science!

Might I suggest that even if the Lynx were winners they would not draw that much better.

Seattle and Toronto have a few things in common...among them the "need" to feel like the focal point of an entire region. USL soccer just doesn't help that cause.

The Sounders are consistent title contenders, making the playoffs 10 of 11 seasons and going to the FINAL an average of once every 3.3 years. Say Seattle sports fans: "So what! It's the minors."
Exactly what Toronto fans are and would be saying no matter the Lynx record.

Toronto is the biggest market in the a-league. This city is soooooooooo diverse and is full of soccer, during the worcl cup or euro cup or even qaulifing or friendlies you have people driving in their cars with flags hionking horns the market is great we just need a team worthy of following.
