Take the subway to Union Station and then either the 509 or 510 street car to Queens Quay, aka Ferry Docks, which is the first stop.

Island airport, 2:30 AM,right?

doubt it's AM.. teams don't usually do the red eye.. they go the next day.
Plus, planes can't fly into the island airport at 2:30 am, can they?

So are people going to this? Need to work out logistics though, have no idea how Island airport works.

drek
06-19-2009, 02:24 AM
2:30pm according to Jack in the chat earlier, also for logistics theres a ferry that crosses what maybe 200 feet? But it costs money, I guess
the best option is wait at the ferry docks when they come over!

EDIT: Yeah what TheHollister said, the Porter building!

TheHollister
06-19-2009, 02:37 AM
I flew to Montreal last year.
From what I remember, Porter has a building on the mainland, so you don't have to take the ferry across to the island; you can wait for the players in the Porter building on the mainland.

The airport's at the foot of Bathurst. When people say "Ferry Docks" most people would think you mean the foot of Bay.

yep
inevitably they will have to come out of the building to take their rides back home

At the very foot of Bathurst is where the "entrance" to Porter airlines is and, more than likely, the easiest place to wait for the boys. They'll come across on the ferry and we can all be waiting...

Please someone confirm? 2:30 pm?

Unbelieveable and kudos to the road warriors. You guys deserved everything you saw in Montreal - you humble me as a TFC supporter, as did the boys because there was one point, after the penalty when I thought it was all over. And then that guy named De Ro showed up...

Porter Airlines run a shuttle bus from the west side of the Royal York Hotel to the bottom of Bathurst. Any time I've used it they don't ask for your airline ticket. Tell them you're meeting someone off the plane - which is true!

Theres no charge for using the airport ferry, but theres also no where to hang out on the other side if you dont have a ticket to go through security. Main building this side of the ferry is the better option, just keep an eye out in case the team bus goes over on the ferry or if it picks up on this side.....

Jack - there's a reasonable number of people wanting inon this. Is there any way to call the club FO and let them know we'll be there to meet the boys at the main building and can they please make sure the team stops there some way some how? I'm sure the players will want to share this with the fans, and it's minimal hassle for the club.

GET IT DONE MR PRESIDENT!!! :D

Also - anyone with links to U-Sector, NEE etc top brass, we should try and co-ordinate this. it would be fuicking awesome to have a few hundred people down there to meet the boys.

How did they feel about the victory ?

they did seem tired.
but definitely appreciative.

Danny D chatted and said nice things...

Jimmy B was smiling but tired.

Dichio and Jimmy had time for everyone, pics, handshakes, autographs.

De Ro seemed the most excited IMO.

A few of the players looked like they just wanted to get home. Not that I can blame them....after playing their hearts out..then some beers, then a flight, i probably wouldn't be at my best.

No one was rude or anything.

I didn't see Guevara.

Danny D was the only one who stayed behind and seemed to be having fun with the crowd.

Did anybody see DeRO and Serioux? I didn't see either of them. Too bad because I really wanted to shake DeRo's hand.

Also, out of uniform, Chad Barrett and Stefan Frei look a lot like each other. I was having trouble telling them apart.

However, I think it's important for people remember (or learn if they don't already know) that this trophy was created by and donated by the Voyageurs - a Canadian supporters group.

They have my respect.......even if some of those wankers support the Whitecraps and the L'impact.

It was great being down there to welcome the boys home. One of the classic moments from this has to be, when I believe the bus driver opened the door and came out, held the trophy in the air as we were watching on the other side.

First post!

I had an awesome time today. It was great to meet and greet some of the players. My buddy and I were calling De Ro to get off the bus and it was great that he came out and took the time to take pictures and sign autographs with the fans. Nothing beats taking a photo with the Voyageurs Cup. Now, that alone was pretty crazy. I never would have thought I would get the chance to do that. Anyways, great to see a good turnout.
