Football fans, American and the rest of us, had reason to be hopeful in Ottawa today.
As I reported today on the National Post website, one member of the group conditionally slated to run Ottawa's third (yes third, the two previous incarnations went bust) Canadian Football League team is also a significant shareholder of Millwall FC.
Bill Shenkman suggested during the press conference that Millwall, a League 1 side, could be brought over to train in the summer, possibly bringing other clubs in for friendlies.
He didn't go into much detail, but the possibility remains high. With the mayor, some members of council and the CFL behind the bid, a refurbished Frank Clair Stadium may see some real football much sooner than we'd anticipated after last summer's FIFA U-20.
