Actually speaking to a Canadian at my work last night and he was saying he doesnt expect there to be much following for Toronto.
Read something other day about how their first game attracted 150,000 viewers on tv with their second game only attracing just over 10,000 so interest already dipping and not going to pick up anytime soon.

Not sure about the TV viewing, but Toronto sold 14,000 season tickets, so even if they don't sell any of the other 6,000 available, they have more going to the matches than the average MLS club.
Toronto actually played quite well today, enjoying the majority of possession in the first half. They just did not create the chances, which I think (hope) will come. You may end up being right that they follow in the same pattern as Chivas and RSL, but I think Toronto will be well supported at home at that should at least make it a tough place to play.
