    Purely out of curiosity, how did you become A) a CFL follower and B) an Argonauts fan?

    Btw, which is your Premier League team?

    A) I did an exchange year at UofT in 2007/08, went to every Argos game when I was there as well as the 2007 Grey Cup and have followed the team long distance ever since.

    B) Norwich City in the Championship.

    Nice!!
    Perhaps the Argos should hire you to market why stupid Torontonians should appreciate their CFL team instead of looking to the U.S. for some sort of validation - which would never come anyway since Americans don't notice us even for the Blue Jays and Raptors in their otherwise American-only leagues.

    Btw, since you would have watched the Argos in Rogers Centre in 2007/08, anyone here will tell you that BMO Field is a significant upgrade. Hopefully you will be able to see the Argos play there soon.

    Sorry about my Premier League bias. I have heard of Norwich City actually.

    Hey EnglishArgo--
    Funny: I have followed Norwich as one of my English soccer teams since I saw them play Inter at San Siro in 1993 (!). What are the chances of us being the only two Argo-Norwich fans in the world? Even weirder, I was thinking of going to the game on Monday-- I have been to games in Hamilton in the past (at Ivor Wynne), but never an Argos game/LDC. If I end up going, we will have to meet up!
    On the ball City, Never Mind the Distance, Steady On, Now's Your Chance, Here we scored again! (or something like that, as I can barely remember it).
