Always good to see an unexpected country get through. A Rovers related connection, wasn’t our centre-half Ian McLean a Canadian?

UTG Don't know much about Canadian football so just read up a bit about it. Wow the 8 Premier League teams have a lot of travelling to do. Bet they don't get many away fans....Wanderers to Pacific is a 59 hour drive! And the stadiums are generally small, about 4-7k. Less than I would have thought.

The CPL is a new league which was set up in the last 3 or 4 years but seems to have started well and appears to be growing. Most of the clubs are completely new clubs set up for the new league. None of the National Team squad play in that league. The three main Canadian clubs still play in the MLS.

At a stretch I am the rovers connection. Formal Tote-ender moved here in 1988.
Toronto FC play in MLS. I think on a great year they are low EFL Championship level.
The sport has really started to take off internationallly since the formation of the Canada League discussed above. Good to have some grassroots development.
Again TFC = awful colour

Where ever the beard (can we still call him that) goes he always makes the impossible happen and leaves a huge trail of over Joyment.

Will the club be showing games at the Mem? The last one wasn't (AG was on national telly and made thousands. We didn't!)
Since Robert Laurance left, not much seems to be happening re social events.
Recently the club have lost the revenue from beam backs, Cheltenham Gold Cup day, Mother's Day and fund raisers such as the SC general knowledge quizzes.
I know we have Waels money, but I am sure he would not be happy that we have more background staff, but actually bring in less money from social events.
