In its first year of existence, Toronto F.C. has already seen its share of wacky fan hijinks, thanks in part to the Red Patch Boys, the club's
Blanco, of course, deserves that salute. Before he arrived, Chicago was on a 6-game winless streak in MLS and lost a U.S. Open Cup match to the Carolina Railhawks, a USL First Division expansion club. Good luck turning that ship around, Señor Blanco.

"the Red Patch Boys, the club's official supporters group"???
Last I checked, there were at least 4 groups "officially" recognized by the club.

The Red Patch Boys aren't an 'official' supporers group.
There are a number of groups that are recognized by the team,
but the term 'official' makes it sound like they are run by the club.
They do have more members than any other group,
but that just makes the the biggest, not 'official'.

Nobody looks for promotion in MLS. Why bother when nobody ever gets relegated?

James is correct in that the Red Patch Boys are not the only Supporter's Group for Toronto.
They are officially-recognized by Toronto FC and happen to be the largest fan group for the team in terms of membership.
I guess the best way to say it is that we're the largest official supporters group of Toronto FC.
