Ohhh, it's all gone quiet over there!

After a week of frenetic activity and speculation preceding TFC's previous home game the story of the Argos potentially moving to BMO Field has virtually disappeared from the mainstream Toronto media. Hopefully this is a case of "no news is good news." On the other hand maybe after testing the waters and seeing the reaction it drew from TFC supporters the Argos' management has decided to take a lower public profile in their exploration of the viability of such a move.

In the absence of concrete answers, however, it seems prudent for TFC fans to remain vigilant and prepared to fight to maintain the soccer specific nature of BMO Field. That said, it is clear that the management of TFC has gotten the message that even the potential of this move has angered large swathes of their fan base. Whether or not this message is understood upstairs at MLSE and in City hall - and whether or not they care - remains to be seen. At this time it seems gratuitous to continue (or start really) any boycott aimed at MLSE though. I still definately plan on maintaining this blog and hopefully making it better but enjoy your ($12.50) beers Thursday night and let's hope that we actually get something to cheer!
