Derby Game "FLAGS FLAGS FLAGS"

[nick.mastro]

i know we have tried this many times..... but honestly, big derby game against montreal, will be a huge six points in the standings if we win. LETS FUCKING BRING THE FLAGS OUT.

watching the DC game last night, their support really has the flags down pat, probably the best in the MLS for flags. we KNOW we are the loudest, best, and most organized supporters in the MLS http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/tongue.gif , SOOO lets fucking beat these guys in getting the Flag part down pat..for atleast one game.

so please, im asking everyone bring as many flags as they can for wenesday nights game against montreal, if u have more than one, bring them for your friends or for the guy standing next to you. already me and my buddies are making two big 8ft flags to add to the one we already have for wenesdays game.

i think as soon as the national anthems done we should get these things waiving for atleast a solid ten minutes if we can.

i posted this on Usector forum also.

Opinions?

I back this thread 100%! Bring flags and banners! If you don't have them, try to make one. It's pretty simple actually. So let's get the flags for this game!

[flatpicker]

While I'm not sure Montreal would qualify as a "derby"... I do support the initiative...


FLAGS FLAGS FLAGS !!!

[CretanBull]

Relax Stephen Harper, he said "flags".

In a country this size, it's close enough.:canada:

[FluSH]

You beat me to the punch here nick... I was thinking about making a similar post... however... asking for everyone who bought a flag to bring it BACK!!!

I'm sure we sold at least 60 flags to our members... WHERE ARE THEY?!!??! please bring them back for the next game... for the love of everything Red and Gunmetal Grey!

[London]

We hope to have a large banner done for the game on Wednesday.

So big ass banner THEN flags! ;)

[AL-MO]

I will have the RPB flag along with a smaller one.

[Bars92]

there are no flag poles allowed at BMO right?

[AL-MO]

Flag poles are allowed in all supporter sections.

[Wolfe]

I have a TFC flag, but without being able to bring a pole it is kind of pointless no?

[AL-MO]

BRING IT TIM! And if at minimum you just wear it like a cape! :D

[prizby]

from what I hear, U-Sector is painting a banner

[London]

As I read in a comment from the first video, they're just cheap plastic flags. Although it would be better than barely any flags, MLSE would never do it because they're cheap bastards! Maybe if we were owned by a really rich Russian man?

+ FUCKING 1

Chelsea's flags and whole team are all given to them by the club, Not supporter made like us.

[egoodwin]

flags should be brought every game but especially for this one...

Booyakasha!

[YoungBlood113]

Flags should be brought every game, but their is that sense of "awww" when everyone has them for the Derby. This will be amazing if we can even get 30-40 flags spread out nicely.


Another thing is if you and your friends sit next to each other, spread out for after the anthem so the flags arent bunched. Trust me on this, the affect will be well worth it.

[adamdz]

Get ready to see a total of 5 flags at the game :P.

exactly even Usector has a bunch that people bought, WHERE ARE THEY!?, we always say were gonna do this (bringing all our flags) but we never do. LETS MAKE THE INNITIATIVE AND GET THIS DONE! for people who dont have flags and wanna help, u can just easily go to a fabric store (fabric land on dufferin and lawrence) get material, and sew it up at stitch master right in the same plaza. grab a pole at homedepot.

but ive seen so many different flags throughout the seasons here in the supporters section, BRING EM OUT, if u got more than one, share them!

[billyfly]

Relax Stephen Harper, he said "flags".

You stole that from Mercier.

[the-lower-eastsider]

TFC supporters suck at bringing flags.
we need to change that. and soon. if u call yourself a supporter: and u sit in a supporters section: make a flag. and bring it every game. its really that simple.

[Rudi]

*BUMP*

[Roogsy]

Agreed! Everyone must bring flags! If you don't have one...get one.

Who has mine? Bfin? Did you take it?

[FluSH]

can we get some vids on how to wave a flag... and also how NOT to wave a flag!!!!

[Yohan]

if I dont have a flag, can i wave a red garbage bag instead? :p

yeah, except many are capes, scarves, massive hankerchiefs and various other "designations" to get them into non supporter sections. having said that I'll wave mine until security or the bast*rds behind me "kindly" remind me that I'm 5 rows away from actually being "allowed" to do so.
I would encourage others to do the same.

[C.Ronaldo]

but then i cant see the game

agree with you 10000%


for those who wanna make flags in the future:


Pole
= Home Depot

Material
= Fabric Land (right at dufferin and lawrence, in the plaza where shoeless joes is)

getting it stitched
= Stitch master, in the same plaza as fabric land, we just made our 3rd flag today there, the guy knows what hes doing, just lay the design out for him and he'll sticth it up, and tell him you want a 1inch sleve on one side for the pole.

back in season 1 I found a video out there in the internets... I would try to search high and low for this again so people can do their own flag poles.

Now unto more serious business:

If everyone could please look at Chivas nominee for goal of the week here:

http://web.mlsnet.com/sights/goal_of_the_week/

It is the Fitfth nominee

The above is a perfect example on how you should NOT wave a flag. In fact the entire flag is a big time FAIL. Thick cloth, short pole, no movement... let us not see this in the south end please. :D

dammit

does this mean I shouldn't bring my flag made out of burlap sacks and stripper pole? :(

[Keystone FC]

I will have 4 flags with me (2 supporters, 2 checkered T's) and I will bring my flag from Charleston.

[YoungBlood113]

If you have a large flag like more then 5ft, the best way to wave it is in a sideways figure 8, its easy to do and gives the best affect for viewers. Smaller flags the best thing is to do is circles or fast back and forth waving.

[InTheCrowd]

I'll probably be bringing my red white checkered 3x5ft.

[nick.mastro]

yaa i remmeber seeing alot of flags in charelston. whoever has those flags, make sure to BRING THOSE. i also remmeber seeing flags on a march we had ( i think it was the last montreal game) big white and red solid color flags.

for those who dont have nooo flag at all/cant get one, you can always find those flag guys on the corners of major streets and buy a big Ontario or Canadian flag. those would do just fine too.

[InTheCrowd]

You can get Ontario flags, Canada flags, red and white checkered flags and other flags like these down at Spadina and College. There are so many flag stores who have every flag imaginable lol. Not pricy either.

This should be our daily annoucement tomorrow...

Whatever you do... do not let the wind just take over your flag during play AND don't do The poke the sky or swing it side to side like there is a Pinata in front of you... that is not the way to go :D

[JPMcLean]

Section 110 - row 19 - im not gonna get any issues from people wingin' if i have my flag and stand and sing over there am i? im pretty sure its regarded as "supporters section"

[renda-10]

does anyone know how much the TFC flags are at BMO?

[flatpicker]

any area that is designated a supporter section is fair game for flags.

I can't remember what the dividing row is for upper and lower 110 though...

I think you are ok.

[flatpicker]

does anyone know how much the TFC flags are at BMO?


I'm not aware of BMO selling flags... but I don't shop there...

[renda-10]

ya they sell a big TFC flag

[BuSaPuNk]

Yeah got one last year....I think it was around $25 or $20 bucks something like that

[renda-10]

i think i want to grab one for the game but i wont have a pole

[BuSaPuNk]

If your going with another person, go in and buy the flag....have the other person wait outside with the pole and just put it on when they come in. Or just bring the pole with you with another flag on it...and make the switch.

[renda-10]

thats true. whats the best kind of pole to have?

This will be my first time in the south end (sec 113 row 13)

[nick.mastro]

a plastic pole. and it all depends on how big you want the pole

[BuSaPuNk]

plastic pvc poles are common and the best to use I hear.....never used one myself so....

[flatpicker]

^ yup... pvc pole from a hardware store will do the trick.

Not sure how big those flags are... if they are the standard 3x5 then get a 5 or 6 foot length of pipe.
1/2 or 3/4 inch diameter should do the job.

I don't know if the flags at BMO have a sleeve on them, or if they are grommets.
Better keep that in mind.

[renda-10]

maybe ill just pick up the flag and next time im in the south end ill have it on a pole

[flatpicker]

^ just bring a pole with a crappy piece of fabric attached to it and pretend that's your flag.
Then buy the good flag inside and do the old switcheroo

[renda-10]

I might have a canada flag on a wood pole

[BuSaPuNk]

They have grommets :scarf:

[flatpicker]

^ ok then...

so, for anyone planning on bringing a pvc pole to the game and buying a flag there...
you will need to drill a couple of holes in the pipe first (about 3 feet apart, assuming that's how big the flag is).
And bring zip-ties to attach the flag to pole.

[InTheCrowd]

Renda please do go through with the flag business. We need it!

[renda-10]

I really want to. If someone can bring me an extra pole that would be great. :)

[BleedRed]

Ok perhaps this question is dumb...but is there anyway of buying a tfc flag without having to actually make it? If the flag is as hard to make as the banner I'm fucked...how do you get your hands on a projector....doh! lol

i posted earlier that BMO sells a flag at some of the booths.

[Cas87]

Does anyone know how much the Flag at BMO is?

Need to finger this out because I need TTC money and beer money

[BuSaPuNk]

Yeah got one last year....I think it was around $25 or $20 bucks something like that

Wow and only had to go back one page. :rolleyes:

[Cas87]

Wow and only had to go back one page. :rolleyes:

Sorry, was on the way to get some yard work done before leaving for BMO and Joe's

[The_Brace]

Leaving work early!! Picking up my flag and we see all of you latah!!

OH WHEN THE REDS!!!

[nick.mastro]

great job with the flags! i think that was the most flags we had in 113/112 in a single game.

theres always room for improvement :P

[Roogsy]

Last night was better than most nights. At the start of the game, every flag was up and it looked great.

But we can still do better.

But this...along with everything else, is improving.

[the-lower-eastsider]

best night of flags in the south end that i've seen. and it looked awesome. i hafta say, i was impressed. lets keep it up and get even more next time.
