2010 if you could have one of the two, which one would it be?

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

DP or Real Grass at BMO:scarf: only one folks!!

[Fort York Redcoat]

A pretty pony.

Grass means more DP's.

c) one less poll

c) one less poll

why are you always the party pooper!

[flatpicker]

OK... I'll play along... I choose the grass...

But the reality is, getting grass is vital in securing a DP player.

[Parkdale]

I'm a mod - to serve and taunt

[brad]

But the reality is, getting grass is vital in securing a DP player.

Turf didn't stop Seattle from getting Ljunberg or NY from getting Angel.

I do agree that grass would make it easier to secure a DP though.

exactly. it's a chicken-egg argument.

players wont come without the grass,
the grass won't come unless we win and generate a bigger profit,
and we probably need that DP to increase our chances of winning.

[shaggingscot]

Grass, once we get that better players will follow.

[TicTacTabarnack]

There's no chicken and egg theory with this question! Get real grass and the DP will come!

[tim90]

grass

[shawn6597]

I'm gonna go off the board and say I'd rather have a DP

i think this team is a real challenger for the league. A 2010 DP would cement TFC as a deadly challenger. As much as i want grass at BMO, i'd take a DP first.

For 2010 anyways...

[Stryker]

Can't say I like the idea of getting DP'd at BMO... or anywhere else for that matter.
Gonna have to go with grass.

[daner90]

Maybe the grass :stogey: leads to getting DP'd at BMO....

not for that specific reason i will take the grass...

[Parkdale]

There's no chicken and egg theory with this question! Get real grass and the DP will come!

not entirely true. look at Seattle if you want to see a quality DP playing on turf.

[Beach_Red]

Grass, once we get that better players will follow.

Don't you think it's just a negotiating point? To get someone to come and play on the turf you just have to pay them more.

So, which would be more - grass or the difference required to get a DP?

To answer the poll, I'd like to see a DP playing this year.

Dp would be cheaper, maintaining the grass in the spring months, april may, and the fall September -october would be expensive if their is
constant wet weather as we have seen so far this spring.

[TFC FORZA RPB]

both, they should have installed real grass to start with, and we should have already had a DP for the start of this season

[ExiledRed]

This is not a choice.

We should get both, this poll is redundant, and more likely to send the wrong message to MLSE.

"We'd really like x+y but we dont mind if we only get x"

What do you want on your sandwich? PB or J?
can't have both!
Doesn't matter that I can give you both, you can only pick one.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

DP or Real Grass at BMO:scarf: only one folks!!
Why do you start threads like these?

[Inswingingwingman]

I vote for a dirt pitch and potholes. We memorize the pot holes. Vancouver has pot holes, and a lot of pot.

Last year everyone was in horror at how bad Montréals chewed up herbage. Just wait until we get a mud bowl and ya'all will howl like leetel girlies.

I think it's a case of no one is ever happy. I get enough Xanax to help with the BP the only anxiety I have relates to not getting enough.

All that said I figure we are going sign Rooney. LOL

[Redcoe15]

Grass. DUH!

[drewski]

grass will lead to more choices of DP

[RagingScot77]

They will get grass when they get a practice facility.

[InTheCrowd]

Who knows how well the DP performs. We might not even get our money's worth. Plastic pitch repels players of all qualities, this way we'll have a wider range of possible signings. This is much more important than a DP.

[loconet]

Grass. Our current players have expressed dislike with the plastic and prefer to play on the real thing. I rather keep them happy and healthy (on top of elevating the image of BMO with the national team and internationally.) than throw money at what IMO is just a gimmick (DP) that does not guarantee success.

[ACSertL]

The World Cup.

[BuSaPuNk]

It's like the chicken and egg arguement. Would like to have both at the same time. But reallistically would like to see grass more than a DP.

[fetajr]

GRASS GRASS GRASS.. "if we build it, they will come"... there are hundreds of impactful players out there that don't have a DP price tag, and this time plastic wont stand in our way in getting any one of them.

[Batman]

Why in the world would I pick just one of the two. The Edu money pays for one.... and MY money pays for the other. BOTH is the only correct answer!

:flare: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT :flare:

[TFC USA]

Grass.

DP we can always get no matter what the field surface is.

[ExiledRed]

Grass.

DP we can always get no matter what the field surface is.

Yes, but the quality and diversity of available DPs is dependent on grass.

Right now, the plastic limits our options considerably.

[T_Mizz]

Grass.

I'm not sure I understand your point, shouldn't we be getting a DP first if they won't care?

[prizby]

From what I have been told, there won't be grass until 2011 at the earliest

[profit89]

Roof !

futbol is played on grass

[Davenport]

Grass.

DP we can always get no matter what the field surface is.
No we can't...several good players have said they wouldn't play here because of the shite surface.
It's simple. The MLSE wankers HAVE to put their hand in their tight little pockets and spend some f*cking money on a grass pitch.
End of......I'm tired of even thinking about it.

[Beach_Red]

Yes, but the quality and diversity of available DPs is dependent on grass.

Sure, but when it comes to acquiring players, lots of things limit our options - they don't eliminate options completely.

[giambac]

Why in the world would I pick just one of the two. The Edu money pays for one.... and MY money pays for the other. BOTH is the only correct answer!

Agreed 100%.

why should we settle for just one or the other.

Each match is sold out so we as fans are entitled to a DP, something Mo has promised us over and over.

And yes we sold Edu for $5 m so the funds are there for the grass.

It shouldn't be apick one or the other option.

[prizby]

guys your missing the point

THE CITY OF TORONTO OWN BMO FIELD NOT MLSE

giambac, btw, we only got 2/3 of the selling fee, MLS gets the other 1/3
