David Knott has a message for Buffalo Bills fans worried about their team moving to Toronto: You’re not alone.

Knott, who has had Toronto Argonauts season tickets since 1995, says Argo fans have just as much reason to be concerned about the possibility of the NFL team moving here as Buffalo supporters do.

“The Argos would go out of business overnight, and 141 years of history would be gone,” said Knott, an active member of the Friends of the Argonauts fan club.

Knott recently created a Facebook group called No NFL in Toronto Bon Jovi, we love our Canadian football! and said he’s thrilled that 230 people have already signed up. The group has a public party planned in a parking lot at Bremner Ave. and York St. at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, before the Argos host the B.C. Lions. They’ll be burning CDs by Jon Bon Jovi, front man for a Toronto-based bid for the Bills which also includes Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment chairman Larry Tanenbaum and Rogers Communications executive Edward Rogers III. In a notice, Knott promises “Free Argo t-shirt for anyone bringing down multiple CDs or records!!”

Rather than being suspicious of Toronto football fans, Knott hopes Bills supporters will see potential allies.

“We want Buffalo Bills fans to realize that we’re not the enemy. It’s Rogers and Tanenbaum and Bon Jovi,” said Knott.

Bills loyalists, meanwhile, have been busy expressing their rage at Bon Jovi in several ways, including a ban on the rocker’s music at several Buffalo-area radio stations and bars, and a T-shirt comparing him to Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Osama Bin Laden.

They might change their tune, though, if beloved Bills hall of famer Jim Kelly joins in. The Buffalo News reports Kelly and Bon Jovi have talked about a partnership — a report Kelly’s wife Jill shot down on Twitter: “To think that anyone would think for a minute that Jim would ever link up with ownership that would move our BELOVED BILLS is ludicrous.”
