Not sure how many there are of us TFC supporters out here, but here goes...

I cannot wait for next week's home opener. It's on CBC and I'm hoping I can find some TFC supporters out here to catch the game with. There is a bar on Broadway called the Regal Beagle that has a pretty good event watching set-up. I'll give them a shout early this week to confirm they'll play the game - I'm 100% sure they will.

Hopefully I'll have some company...

I will always support TFC. I'll cheer for the Whitecaps as long as the outcome is TFC neutral, so I'll be a Whitecaps part time supporter in that sense.

I've been to the regal beagle to watch european championship games, it's a good place.

can't make it this weekend as I'll be at a wedding, but i'm definitely down to watch TFC there when they play the hoops the week after.

So section Q is going to be the TFC section at Swangaard? See you guys there for the nutrilite.

Anyone else got tickets for the TFC game in Seattle?

Section Q is going to be TFC supporter section at Swangard. I have a buddy whom I played indoor soccer with who says WhitecRap supporters will show us how its done. Section Q is right next to the Sesame street southside supporter group (please refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y9VzvTaf50 for clarification).

Currently we are working on bringing some gear with us such as flags, banners, a drum ect. If we can own Section Q, we can stand, dance, sing and do what TFC fans do (Last year we sat in section B and the soccer moms behind us got mad at us trying to stand. Everyone from section A through C were annoyed at our chants and singing. It was a good time).

We will also be at Seattle in Aug. Hope to see all you Western Reds out there!


just out of curiosity... who will you cheer for in 2011. ( if you convert to white caps supporters it would be more than understandable... i won;t jusge, nor i think any othe TFC support on this board)

When the whitecRaps enter the MLS, they will still be cRap. I will never be blue nor white nor "WhitecRap dynomite". I know I am Im sure I am Toronto Till I die!

Are you going to be there next weekend for the home opener? I might be in Van that weekend to watch the game with my buddy at BCIT. We could probably make it down.

Ya, I'll be at the Beagle for sure.

As for the TFC games in Seattle and Vancouver, I would definately be into catching these games with other TFC supporters. If section Q is the place to be in Vancouver, let's make it happen. Seattle would be more of a challenge but I'd be in.

crap, i'm in section 212 for the Seattle game.

When tickets open up for the Whitecaps game can you buy online for a specific section or do you have to buy them over phone?

BallardSounder
03-30-2009, 07:50 PM
Lazlo,
The Sounders ticket office should be able to relocate you. They're pretty aware of the desire of away fans to sit in their own supporters' sections. Just give them a call and let them know.

I got my tickets from Ticket Scalper (Master) online last year. Section Q is the "cheap" seats, but if you ask me, the best seats for TFC fans. I mean who sits anyways?

Regal Beagle? Effing amazing name. I won't be there on Saturday, but I will be there in September... what are the recreational soccer leagues like out there?

lazlo_80
03-31-2009, 11:51 AM
Ginkster, tons of soccer leagues out here. Plus they have turf fields out here so you can play outdoor all year long, it's pretty fantastic. They do proper promotion and relegation of the bigger leagues. the biggest one is the Vancouver Metro Soccer League. But there's a TON of other smaller ones.

ginkster88
03-31-2009, 11:59 AM
That's fantastic. Do any of you fools have a team that need players? I'm quite good as a decoy forward (ie. I'm usually faster than the defense, but I can't put the ball in the net, so I'm often double-marked until the other guys figure that out :)). I play with a ton of heart to make up for it though!

Im playing on two teams right now, Ginkster, when you get out here in September it'll be a different story, if you're still looking for a team then PM me, I'm sure I'll be playing one form or another.

this tfc fan is sooo proud and honourd to be a fellow fan with those thousands of km away who are die hard, who go to other cities to watch games, who make events at bars, and van citiers to have team named for you and to still love the red more that is something im truly touched to be reading. being a fan of this team makes me soo proud when you see the fellow fans, thats what this whole thing is about and when we win our first mls cup the celebration is gonna be one that hits the entire country

Just talked to the Beagle and they'll play the game for sure, we just gotta show up and ask for it. What else is going on at 12:30 PDT this Saturday? NASCAR?

...not that there's anything wrong with that...

FYI: I was walking by the Regal Beagle yesterday and noticed a sign on their door proclaiming that their liquor license had been suspended. Having not yet seen this thread, I didn't think to inquire as to the length of this ban (for all I know the suspension will have been lifted by Saturday). I'm going to look into this further and will post an update as soon as I can.

Sorry for the scare! Just got off the phone with them and they said that it is back (the liquor license, that is) as of today. Phew! See you all there.

Ummm...it's closer for those of us who live in the west (in places like Alberta and BC).

Anyway, it looks like this might just work. Hopefully I'll see some of you tomorrow at 12:30 PDT at the Beagle.

COME ON YOU REDS!

Marianne, you don't even know what trouble is. When are you guys coming to visit?

I was just at the Regal Beagle with my father and the manager said that he had the joint booked on Saturday at 3:30 but He said it shouldn't be an issue!! just that we had to be out by 3:30!!

also for future considerations the Frog and Firkin manager said he would play ever game if we liked and he'd also give us our own section or patio for all the games!!! just a thought

^^^ Probably too late to change the venue now. I just called the Beagle and it's kind of unclear as to what's going on, the manager is going to give me a call in an hour to sort this out.

I'll post what I know when I know it.

Alright - no word back from the Beagle yet and I'm on my way outta here. I doubt I'll be on line before the game tomorrow so let's just meet at the Beagle and sort things out then and there. If they're gonna throw us out at 3:30 sharp, I'd rather bolt down to the Firkin and watch. I don't want someone telling me when I have to stop celebrating a TFC victory and vacate their establishment.

COME ON YOU REDS!
