Think they're getting between 6-10,000 atm but obviously that is at a lower level and their fanbase is certainly growing year on year (the franchise has only been in Orlando 3 years I think), obviously it would increase with proper MLS membership as well so there is definitely the scope for it. They're an MLS club playing at a lower level right now IMO.
The MLS thread

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I think the Timbers are about sold out most of the time, though there's always touts out and about. If you give me a week's warning, you can sit with me, and they're good seats. I've got an extra and I try to take someone different each time. Good timing to come up in August. Portland's got home games on the 3rd, 17th, and 21st.
Just saw this brad. Thanks very much for the offer but I've gone ahead and booked 4 tix for the Seattle/Portland game on Aug 25th.
Best of both worlds, maybe.
Watched the Timbers win on TV on Saturday and the atmosphere looked great.
I was around when DC United had their winning seasons back in the day and that was good stuff but you guys in the NW take it to a whole new level.

I thought the Timbers/Rapids game were supposed to be shown on ESPN tonight?
Give me a tip for one of tonight's games, chasing some lost money at the moment
Galaxy.
Nah I don't have a clue. Bout to go home from work and lay on the couch and watch it. Looking forward to watching the Galaxy for the first time in a long time. Since Beckham has departed at least.
Did not know that Fredrick Piquionne is playing for the Timbers!

Did not know that Fredrick Piquionne is playing for the Timbers!Galaxy put in a transfer bid for Dos Santos a few weeks back. I believe both club and player rejected.
Has Slivestre been getting any game time, seemed off to a rough start tbh.
For fecks sake. Now stuck at work... LAME.
Galaxyyyy 1-0 bullet header
Dallas get screwed after the lino misses a goal. It was over the line but cleared out. Too bad Don Garber refuses to implement goal-line technology. They got an equalizer anyway! Likely was a foul on the keeper...They are into the 9th minute of 5 minutes of added time...
Geez, sounds a bit of a mad game.
He was starting and player every game until he blew out his knee a month or so ago. He's out for the season. Timbers had to run off and get someone in to fill the void as they were already past stretched with injuries. The found Pa Madou Kah, who aside from having a cool name, is another Gambian for us, and played for Norway a couple of times. He's getting on though I think.
Timbers have been a joy to watch this year. It's been a hell of a turnaround.
Yeah, it took him a couple of games to find his legs, but he's done quite well since. His linkup play wasn't up to much at first, but he's playing in well with the rest of the team now. Honestly I'd take him over Johnson at this point.
Look for Sounders tickets on Craigslist. You'll always find a few on there.
Ahhh, didn't hear about the injury, shame, I was hoping it'd go well for him there in the end.
I've greatly enjoyed every Timbers game I've seen this season. They seem to have a good, enthusiastic set of fans too, who deserve the good results.
That first game was a rough start (reminded me of Evra vs City), but he settled in right quick after that. He was a much needed composed link in a rather frantic backline. It seems he adjusted to everything but the knee-bursting turf. One of the fellas I play with has gotten to know him very well since he moved here, and he's apparently quite the gent. A real class act. He was hoping to get him out to play with us, but that won't be happening now (especially as we're on turf now). It's a shame as we Alex Nimo used to play with us, and Khalif Alhassan has showed up with the other Ghanaians.
There's been sacks of of us turning out since 2001 with naught to celebrate, so we're pretty chuffed about it.
I saw that first game, just seemed he couldn't judge how the ball would react to the turf, but IIRC he was pretty much dropped into the team right away.
I actually thought the turf was easier on your knees, and lead to other injuries.
Nice one, congrats!
This Red Bulls/Houston game is off to a very interesting start on ESPN, surprising amount of skateboards for a football game though.
Apparently the game is delayed.
Henry's in-game vision is like a 100x higher than other players in the league.
Holy crap, Chicago are 2-0 down to Kansas already....
feck L.A!
Great match between Portland and LA with a great ending.
Not sure we deserved that one, but I'll take it. It was weird seeing the Timbers on the back foot. I didn't care for it one bit.
Against a team like the Galaxy, I'd just be happy with the points.
Also, I thought Alex Jean-Baptiste was about 31 until he scored last night and they said 21.
HBO are doing a special on Real Sports about Chivas. I'm watching it now.
Chivas should be thrown out of MLS and replaced. Waste of a spot when so many cities are crying out for a team.
Or force the Chivas ownership out and relocate the club (and not to Beckham's group).
Cities like San Antonio, St Louis, Indianapolis, Raleigh-Durham would probably provide amazing support to the club.

DC might be getting a stadium?!?! Still plenty of discussions to be had which could derail it, but this sounds more promising than the other offers I've seen. Good luck to them. Not a great spot, but whatever works.
MLS will expand by 4 teams by the end of the decade. Two of them would assumably be Orlando and Miami. I would love it if the Triangle got a team, but I don't see it happening. MLS would rather have another team in New York...
Garber defends Chivas USA and says they don't discriminate though avoids discussion of the legal case.

Miami will fail again. Fantastic decision by MLS if so.
I see Clint 'good enough for United' Dempsey is being linked with a move back to the MLS. Cheeky bid?
What team?
I doubt he'd leave Europe at age 30 but I would presume he'd go to Houston or FC Dallas, if he desires a return near home. Or could end up on a big market club like LAG or NYRB.
looks like Seattle
Dempsey should have realized that Fulham was his level and stayed there.
