Never Too Far From Home

Mark Castator is not an average Toronto FC fan. Among the original fifty season ticket holders, the 41-year old lives and works in Victoria, British Columbia. He also pulled off an impressive double last week, attending TFC’s CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg in Los Angeles and the Reds’ season opener in Seattle.

“A friend of mine went down to Dallas in October and got to see TFC qualify from the Champions League Group Stage. The envy of him seeing Toronto knock someone out on the road convinced me to come down for the quarterfinals,” Castator said from a pub in Seattle on Saturday. In Los Angeles, Castator was among about two-dozen TFC fans to witness Toronto’s stunning 2-1 victory and advancement to the semifinal round of the Champions League.
