In addition to what proves to become a great rivalry, this shows larger leagues (MLS) that Detroit has the fan base to support a fully professional, top level team. This whole story is a non-issue. The presence of a suburban based club and the excitement of a truly kocal Derby will certainly increase the level of attention for both sides.

DCFC Ownership was no...Updates from little birds:<br />—<br />DCFC Ownership was not only consulted before the expansion was sent to vote, but also voted in the affirmative to allow for expansion. The vote for FC Sparta Michigan was unanimous.<br />—<br />It seems odd that in preparing this article the DCFC ownership wasn't simply asked… they appear to be very forthcoming and honest with their information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
