There’s a reason Toronto FC put an end to town hall meetings.

There’s a risk that what went down at Red Bull Arena last Friday will repeat itself.

Big Apple fans remain enraged after New York Red Bulls sporting director Ali Curtis fired former head coach Mike Petke this month despite the native New Yorker producing back-to-back winning seasons.

Despite the rage, the club’s head honchos invited 300 season-ticket holders to take aim last week.

“Don’t even f---ing say his name!” one fan yelled when Curtis mentioned Petke at the club’s town hall.

Another fan piped up: “Why did you fire Mike Petke? That’s all we want to f---ing know!”

“Be nervous!” another fan yelled at the group, which included new head coach Jesse Marsch.

New TFC assistant coach Robin Fraser, who managed under Petke in New York last season, told the Toronto Sun he was surprised the club’s front office went through with the meeting.

“It seemed like it started out of hand,” Fraser said. “I listened to a little of it. I was curious as to what they were hoping to accomplish.

“The fans loved Mike. It’s kind of a blue-collar area ... For them, it was like one of them taking their team and doing well with it.”

Which is why the fans are demanding answers.

“I didn’t see it coming,” Fraser said of Petke’s firing. “I was as surprised as anyone else. In pro sports, you feel like if you have success you’ll continue to be employed ... Clearly, that’s not always the case.”

Fraser added that the decision to fire Petke didn’t play a role in his departure.

“It was about my contract being up and I had to make choices as to who was going to make a better offer,” he said. “I felt like this was a project that was unfolding into something. In New York, I wasn’t offered the same security.”
