Nine points from four matches should be enough to put a smile on almost anyone's face, but Vancouver Whitecaps FC aren't just any club.

When the Whitecaps made Carl Robinson the manager of their football club, they knew that they were getting a charismatic young coach who had the respect of his players. As a former player, he could relate to them, since he had been where they are now and emerged stronger for it.

When the members of the Vancouver Whitecaps Football Club returned to training at Dhillon Field on Monday morning, they were greeted with the sight of dozens of supporters in the stands, their banners already hung from the railings, and a number of flags fluttering in the breeze.

Four years, it's been four years since the Caps left USL for greener pastures. They waved goodbye to Swangard, so long to Marcus Haber, and bid adieu to the likes of Rochester and Austin. On Tuesday, they returned to those roots.
