ATTENDANCE: Simcoe County draws between 300 and 1,000. Peaked at 1,180 for last year’s semifinal against Vaughan.
CLUB: Simcoe currently fields six sides with men’s and women’s first teams and two reserve sides for each. The first team trains four times a week in the morning.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Simcoe County has some 5,000 followers on Instagram and 1,650 on Twitter, compared to 356,000 and 423,600, respectively, for TFC.
