Okay this is it! Game day is upon us.

The work is in our rear view mirror, but we still need multiple hands to get this banner up.

Meet @ our tailgate (east parking lot) by 2:30 PM. We will head into the stadium @ 3:15 PM (and won't be coming back out).

When you get to the tailgate ask for myself of Rooney.

FO is well aware of it, I'm sure they've relayed the message to CBC.

See you all tomorrow!

When is it going up? Are they doing something for Dichio? Is it going up after the anthem? Or after the Dichio tribute? What's the plan?

Also - Will anyone be in the beer garden to get a good shot of it?

P.S.

With all the board beign down, I forgot to mention that the extra funds that Usector and RPB collected will be donated to KidSport Ontario on behalf of Danny Dichio that way a local Charity benefits and Danny gets a small tax credit! =)

I'm going to the bank right now... I believe the approx amount is $1,600 and change...

We will have a small presentation of handing the funds behalf of reps from Usector and RPB

P.S. I think this is a noble idea of giving back the residual funds from the fundraiser. Also, my original idea of using all the money for the 50/50 BMO draw was shot down =P

Fabulous move. Can't believe the club is doing nothing for the big fella.
Disgraceful.

Not to worry, WE the Supporters(RPB&U-Sector - NEE) are doing something. Which is what counts in my books.

I'm not upset about it, but I do think they should have done something.

MLSE has never really been good at being sentimental.

Look at the Wendel Clark number honouring ceremony, then watch the Patrick Roy one. The Clark ceremony is like a boardroom meeting - Roy's pulls at the heart strings. It's like night and day

The club can't win on this. If they do something today, they're upstaging/hijacking the supporters efforts. Do nothing, they get posts like this.

He deserved better from the club, but that doesn't mean that EVERTHING the club is doing with respect to him is an insult.

I actually don't like the stagy, seemingly endless, formal, awkward schmaltzfests that the official versions of these things have become, in all sports.

I am going to be at the tailgate before 3 but 2:30 is a bit early. Is this banner deployment hard or is it something we can catch on to if we some other people in 112 do it before us?

It makes sense for the FO to keep the team focused on a do-or-die match, and not an ex-player. Pay him the respect he deserves at the beginning of next year.

Re-fucking-lax Mike. We made the decision to step aside because we saw the effort the Supporters were putting in and we wanted this to be about Danny and the Supporters.

You know us better than that.

They're letting us do the tribute, which shows just how far we've come with regards to relations with them. Did you hear about the big stink Milan ultras made because the club wouldn't let them organize the tribute for Maldini? There'd have been a huge stink here as well if TFC front office had upstaged what we'd prepared.

The Leafs, though, could make better tributes. When Montreal are honouring a legend they have speeches, video tributes, bring old players out onto the ice, etc. Sundin scored 500 goals- not a lot of players have done this- and they had a 15 second tribute and gave him a plaque.

I agree it was best to leave this to the supporters, and focus on a very important match. I'm sure they'll do something next year.
