Head coach Paul Dalglish and his players hope that the return home will give them an added boost as they look to collect a second straight win and continue to climb the USL standings. It's been six months since Ottawa played at TD Place. The club’s attendance averaged around the 5500 mark in 2016, as the average attendance for Fury FC continued to increase for another season. An anticipated crowd of 6000 energetic fans are expects for Saturday’s All-Canadian home opener. Saturday afternoon against TFC II, Paul Dalglish and his squad will be looking to feed off of the energy of the crowd to display a strong performance. Fury FC will be coming into their home opener with a lot of confidence after securing their first USL win last weekend when they defeated the Richmond Kickers 1-0 with Steevan Dos Santos scoring a spectacular goal from the halfway line. Even though Saturday’s fixture marks the first of three USL meetings this year between Ottawa and Toronto, Fury FC will also be looking to avenge the 2-1 loss that they suffered at the hands of TFC II in preseason action. Toronto comes into Saturday’s game after enjoying a bye week last weekend. TFC II are currently on a three- game winless streak (0W-1D-2L). After winning their season opener 1-0 against Phoenix Rising FC, they lost two in a row – against the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Orlando City B – before splitting up the points in a scoreless draw against the Rochester Rhinos two weeks ago. What they’re saying Fury FC GM and Head Coach, Paul Dalglish: “We’ve got wonderful fans. They showed up in numbers last year when we had our rebuilding year and we want to repay them this year with quality performances. There’s no point in complaining about how hard it is to start the season on the road if you don’t make a statement on home games. We definitely want to make a statement.” Fury FC Goalkeeper, Callum Irving: “I’m super excited. Before I came here I was watching all the highlights videos from the games last year and just looking at all the fans in the stadium and thinking I can’t wait to play on that pitch. We have to keep the same work rate that we’ve had in the previous weeks. We can’t get complaisant after winning our first game. We need to keep improving and hopefully we can get another good result Saturday.” Fury FC forward, Steevan Dos Santos: “We have to focus on Toronto now, the Richmond game is over. We need to move on and do our best to get another win. When I got here I heard about the rivalry between Ottawa and Toronto so I think we can use that as an extra motivation to get three points in front of our fans. We’re very excited. “ 2017 OTTAWA FURY FC ROSTER Years @ # NAME POS HT WT DOB FT NATIONALITY FURY PRONUNCIATION 1 Callum Irving GK 6-0 193 3/16/93 R Canadian 1 Kal-uhm ER-Ving 2 Jonathan Barden M 6-0 171 11/9/92 R English 1 Bar-Den 3 Eddie Edward D 5-11 205 9/20/88 R Canadian 2 Edward 4 Ramon Martin Del Campo D 6-2 200 7/5/93 R American 1 Mar-teen Dell-Cam-Poh 5 Kyle Venter D 6-3 193 3/13/91 L American 2 Ven-Turr 6 Shane McEleney D 6-3 215 1/31/91 R Irish 1 Mac-ill-len-ee 7 Ryan Williams M 5-8 166 4/8/91 R British 2 Williams 8 Steevan Dos Santos F 6-4 208 9/17/89 R Cape Verdean 1 Dos Santos 9 Carl Haworth F 5-8 158 7/9/89 R Canadian 4 How-worth 10 Gerardo Bruna M 5-10 162 1/29/91 L Argentinian 2 Je-rardo Brew-nah 11 Sito Seoane F 5-8 165 3/16/89 L American 1 See-toe 12 Andrae Campbell D 5-10 165 3/14/89 L American 1 Awn-dreh 14 Onua Thomas Obasi D 6-4 193 9/24/88 L British 2 AW-Neh-Wa 18 Tucker Hume F 6-5 203 8/22/94 R American 1 H-yOOm 22 Jamar
