No offence to Danny Austin, but how many Foothills games did he attend this year? I didn't see him at any.

And to be fair to Tommy, he has to sell the product his club is putting out there. On the pitch, I think he's absolutely right. Foothills is one of the best youth clubs in the country in terms and it's showing, despite the disappointing way the season ended.

Off the pitch, this city has a long way to go to be a soccer city in my mind. Sure, people will support the superclubs, but the local game is a complete afterthought. That's what I personally am trying to change with each game. I did manage to get one more CP'er out to the supporters section this year, and a few randoms to our national team watch parties, so I'll just use that as motivation for next year.

But if the venue doesn't change next year, this club will start losing the small fan base they have.
