Should the front office set aside a Supporters Section solely for supporters?

[Dust2]

Philadelphia set aside 2000 seats (the Supporters Section) solely for the supporters at waterfront endline. Could something similar work in Toronto?


The Supporters Section will be filled with passionate soccer fans whose purpose will be to create an intimidating atmosphere for the opposition while cheering the team on to victory. In order to have access to seats in this area you are required to be a registered member of a Philadelphia Union supporters club. This section will stand, sing, and chant for all 90 minutes of the match. Please take this into consideration before choosing seats in this section.http://www.mlsphilly2010.com/images/mls/stadium_designs/medium/stadium_waterside.jpg

seems they didn't think about people leaving the game? I only saw one single lane road leaving the stadium area.....

I would love it....wouldn't have to worry about swearing with 7 year olds and their mothers around.

Not that I swear.....much ;)

[London]

if you look at the artists pic they already have TFC away supporters in what would be our section 111

[drewski]

will they require people to keep up their registration? more importantly, will they be checking up on it every year?

Last time for this Dust2.

Before spamming the board with all these useless stupid polls, please search the bord a bit for the same poll.
