I have lived in Tampa Bay since 2003. Untill Tommy smith got called into the N.Z. world cup squad, I did not know FC Tampa Bay Rowdies was alive. Jeremy Christie, who plays for the Rowdies, is also in the N.Z. squad, and from what I have seen of him, ITFC could do far worse than give him a trial.
This is there website
http://fctampabay.com/ There is no mention of Steve Foley, but then again the match report from the St Louis game from Saturday is not up yet either. The team is that new. From my research the only thing this team has in common with the original team in Tampa is, they are in Tampa, this is a brand new team what is doing great. You hear Rodney Marsh talking on local chat radio stations about the now team, as R.M. was one of the founding players for the old team.
They play at the George Stienbrenner field, which is the home of the New York Yankees spring training baseball complex, and my guess is they are owned by the Yankees.
Someone earlier spoke of the oil on Florida beaches, just for an FYI, so far the oil is not here on our coast, which I'm pleased about as I live a 5 minute walk to this beach.....
Let me just add, it kills me to follow the Rowdies as they play in.... yes, yellow and green :(
