Hey Guys!

So Saturday is the first game of the season. I know Im f**king pumped, and Im sure everyone else is feeling the same!

Big games calls for the one and only TFC Supporters United March!!!!! Home Opener last year, Montreal, CNT, Chicago, all epic march's! So Lets do it again!

We're going to do this like the last game of the season (Chicago).

Pre-game: Chill at shoeless, drink, chant, whatever.

We will be making our way down to Lamport for 2:30. This is where you guys, NEE, and U Sector will meet. We will get 15 minutes of chanting and drumming going, and at 2:45 we will make our way to BMO. This gives supporters clubs plenty of time to get ready, tifos prepared, whatever you need done.

What I need from all of you is anything to contribute to the march! Whether it is Flags, Drums, Two-Sticks, Flares, Fireworks, ANYTHING to contribute to the march, BRING IT!!!!!

Every March Needs A Banner! The Problem is, is that we do not have a message to put on it! If you have any ideas or suggestions for the banner, please post below.

There is also a poll above to see if everyone is down with this idea.

Thanks Guys, And see you all Saturday!

Try and aim it more at the team, or along the limes of TFC.

We will have many people at the tailgate which starts at noon that day, but I'm sure many will also be at Shoeless to join the march.

What time will you be coming through the GO? Seems it would be around 3ish?

With the size of the tunnel, from 3:00-3:30. :p

But yes, around 3:00.

Where is the tailgate? Ive actually never been, always Rhino pregame:o

The tailgate is in the east lot of BMO field.

The tailgate is in the east lot of BMO field.

Well I think once we have everyone out of the doors of the Go station, we are going to stop for a bit and chant.

If the guys want to meet us by the doors at around 3:00, it would be awesome.

Jack
03-30-2009, 10:17 PM
The marchers should swing by the tailgate :D People will be in full swing and we could join everyone together and get a full chant session going.

egoodwin
03-30-2009, 10:29 PM
well Jack, that's a bit out of the way if your still tailgating in the same area as you've been last few years...

any chance RPB could wrap up the tailgate 10 min or so early and meet us up at the south side of the GO Station?

EvanVidinu
03-30-2009, 10:38 PM
EGoodwin is right. It would be much easier for everyone.

Also, Usector is saying departure at 3:00 is better. But still get to Lamport for around 2:30.

What do you guys think of that?

We're so close to the gate, it would make more sense to meet everyone at the South side of the Go Station, and march to the stadium together.

Leave tailgate early to meet at the Go Station: ETA- 3:00

Why not just:

Or

it's a slight detour to the east, really no more than about 60 yards.

the marches go down the east side of the stadium, and the tailgate is just across the parking lot.

Exactly. It works so much better visually if we have tons of people emerging from the tunnel with their flags and scarves. Detouring to the parking lot and then back just looks like we're lost.

What I posted on the U-Sector forum:


This [the game over banner] is a once-in-a-season opportunity for a few reasons:

1) Xbox sponsorship (the obvious one)
2) They're undefeated, but that's about to end
3) BMO Field will be their Red Ring of Death on the day.

I can't wait, It will be my first march and I'm bringing the wifey. I hope it's nuts and by the way love the banner. The longer and louder we sing the better the chance of us staying warm.

Are the people going to meet us at the Go Station as it was brought up at the beginning of this thread???

Alright, so be at Lamport shortly before 3pm, yeah?

As I said earlier, I'm trying to organize a small-ish get-together of GoTFC people at Brazen Head, so we'll walk over to Lamport from there shortly before 3.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to the march and made it a success.

Unfortunately, due to the wind, the Game Over banner could no be used. :(

Sorry for leaving alot of you waiting at the Go tunnel!!! We were waiting for Usector for a bit longer than expected, but once they came, it was amazing.

As soon as we stepped outside of those Go doors and saw you guys, it was epic.
Great job guys!

If anyone has any pictures or videos of the march/fun party-time, please post them!

Thanks, Evan.
