Most impressive thing I've ever seen live. I'm proud to know you guys and gals. (Despite the shit I have to ignore on these boards!)...you made me really proud of you.

Thanks Paul......I'm just mad as hell I'm stuck at home with a fever instead of being in my seat

[Inklink]

Damn! I mised it. If anyone's got pictures or video, I'd be grateful :D .

[kodiakTFC]

It looked glorious, CBC had a little bit on it before the kick off. Great job!

[InTheCrowd]

I missed like the first 10 minutes of the game I had to rush home I'm so angry. I wanted to see it so bad. Would love to see a picture as I know how much hard work was put into it. Well done guys!

[Wagner]

yeah, it was cool..

Al-mo nuff respect...you should be really proud.

It's funny all the hours, etc...for a couple of minutes of enjoyment...but it was all worth it.

[dantdot]

It looked good and HUGE, shame they didn't show it very long...

[Across_The_Pond]

any chance of a pic? Good result too!

Paul. Not sure what happened today but it was the best experience I've had at BMO in a long time. Kudos to you and your staff for all your support to help the groups get this banner done.

It was a great day for TFC today on and off the field. The team was pumped, the crowd was pumped. It was tremendous.

I very happy to have renewed my seats after what I saw today.

[C.Ronaldo]

it was definately louder than usual and i wasnt bugged to keep seated during exciting play.

the entire south end was loud......did you guys throw in some old pros on the west end of the south side?

Man I always hate being under these banners. I never get to see them in all their glory live :(. Can't wait to see more pics. Great job to everyone involved. Time to start thinking about next year, and how we can continue to improve our displays.

[rocker]

ya great banner. easy to read from 125. And the playing of Legend TFC was a nice touch as well.

nice to see it come up at the end as well.

[MrHawk]

It looked awesome from the 2 seconds I got to see it when I was under.

[Petor]

Got video and pics, I'll post them tomorrow when I'm more soberer. :)
Nice meeting theIsland, Coach and others. Can't do too much more tonight, brain almost toast. Was sober enough not to forget Danny's boots. :D
Great nail biting game!
PS: I hope you liked the sausages. :)

[billyfly]

Good times. Good work Alex and co. It was a priviledge to hold the banner.

[TFC Cityboy]

the Big Man is a LEGEND.

[Snowy]

WOW!! what a great job by everyone involved. Seeing that banner go up and then seeing the big man come down and salute the south end brought a tear to my eye.

Truly a special day at BMO today.

[wzhxvy]

It was hard not to be emotional about it today...the banner, the magnitude of the effort to pull that through and DD's appreciation...awesome stuff !

[TOfan]

I'm glad I was there...the banner was fantastic, and so was NEE's banner.

[MG42]

piss shivers when that banner went up :)

Any photos of the NEE banner, I was under the south banner I couldn't see what they did.

[Ricky_Portugal]

great job on the banner guys i'm glad i got to see it sincei had to help pull it up
definitly one of the top 4 highlights of my life

[MartinUtd]

Well done!

I missed the first 15min of the game (lovely experience with emergency dental surgery) but I saw it at the end. After seeing it rolled up in the front row I knew I had to stick around to see it come out. Congrats to the RPB for setting an MLS record.

[Canadian Blue]

Well done lads and hopefully there will be a pic of the NEE banner soon

[ArmenJBX]

I was in 119 and couldn't read it, but I saw it on the jumboscreen. Let me tell you, you guys outdid yourselves! It was my parents first game today and they loved it.

Danny must be so proud of all of you, who made this banner happen. You guys rock, and I hope that one day I can be a part of something of this scale. I met a couple guys today at the tailgate, it was a pleasure. Thanks for a wonderful season at home.

I have a video mainly of the NEE tifo but some of yours too. Looked great guys well done, I'll upload it tomorrow and share.

[mrs.andyc]

got pics pf both - just editing and downloading the 200 odd pics I took of the game!
Glad we did the Dichio shoes drop off before the game, 'cos after that banner I may not have parted with them :D

Petor - I hope you have a great place for them and thanks again for bidding

[phonzo]

absolutely fantastic...massive kudos to everyone that helped work on that banner..

whether it was a quick donation or coming out for an hour or two I think everyone should be proud of what was pulled off today.

Props to all...and ya I almost shed a man tear watching dichio run over and having our banner up..

also to the NEE guys it looked fantastic as well.....

I'm glad you got the right person. I showed the peeps next to me what I had in the box just before injury time, talk about bug eyed! :D

I would like to say thanks to everyone that has contributed in some form or way to this banner... from the RPB student that gave all the money that he could to RPB London that drove 1 1/2hrs for every paint session...

Also to Usector


Usector did alot to make this happen and this venture between us is one that we will never forget. We have come along way from Season 1... and I am honoured to be neighbours beside you... from the funds you guys collected, to the people that you sent down to help and paint... I sincerily say... Thank You


Yours Truly,

I'm with this club through thick and thin, but today was my most memorable ever BMO moment. The emotion of the Dichio banner, the atmosphere at the start, the carrying of the anthem by the supporters, and needing a massive, MASSIVE 3 pts and getting them! I'm just chuffed to have been there today.:scarf:

Yeah, i was at the front of 116 with the banner, and it's usually pretty low-key, but people were fired up by the banner...they wanted to be part of it...

^ Just seen that, but unfortunately TFC TV doesn't seem to be working...

[drek]

So worth it! Can't wait for next season's projects. Amazing work all around!
NEE's banner(s) were well done too!

[__wowza]

^agreed.

[Roogsy]

Great day.

I am tired. But one of those "happy" exhaustions, you know?

Today was a good day.

The only drawback? Getting home and eagerly rewatching my recording of the game only to find CBC gave all of 2 seconds to the banner.

CBC does the best coverage of the game, but they do awful coverage of the fan experience.

[Nomad]

Respect to the southend.

As i stated to a few RPB at Shoeless....if i didn't know better i would have thought the banner was done in Poland professionally. It looked great from the NEE section,

[Jeffro]

One of the most magical moments ever at BMO feild. Amazing job everyone.

[manic.street.preacher]

I am really proud of all of our efforts. We truly can make the difference between a win and a loss.

I just want to thank everybody on a job well done. I was previlidged to work on the banner with all you guys and had a blast. The banner looked great, Dichio looked touched and everything went great. I'm honoured to be an RPB after the emotion today. We were really loud today, the anthem, the chants....The whole day was great.

What a day. Lots of nervous faces just before the unveiling, only to find that the banner went up the stands without incident. Not only that, it goes a second time spontaneously after the game. Well done AL-MO and everyone else who contributed.
I have never said this before but I know you have some video but it is Sunday morning after a great Saturday evening and "Come on Parkdale get it up, I am desperate to see what you got"!!!! :D

Yesterday was one of those perfect days, there was a tangible feeling of togetherness from the moment the banner & tifo were unfurled and it carried on throughout the day.

Everyone should be extremely proud of themselves. After the banner went up yesterday afternoon I turned to Gobi and said: "if this doesn't put steel into this team, then nothing will."

And credit to them, I felt as though they were really playing for us yesterday.

I didn't have a good view of NEE's banner when it was unrolled as I was on field, and directing people in the South West corner.

At first I thought it was one piece, which looked cool. Then I see all the pictures and realized it was 5 pieces! Even better!

Kudos to all the people who got together and made that Banner that showed that TFC are the best fans in Toronto.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

The CBC really blew the chance to illustrate the "passion of the game" and the love we have for Danny.

Knowing there was something special happening, my wife was watching at home and called me and said, "That was lame!?!"…my daughter text me from a bar…"Legendary FAIL!"

Are you kidding me? When I got home I fired up the PVR and was gutted!

Great job by the Supporters…the media here once again failed to show the real success of this franchise…the atmosphere…its really about all we have…

It should be noted that MLSE fail at these moments all the time…the Habs get it…

[Yagbod]

I was in 114 today. Big thanks to some guy named 'Steve' who posted his tickets on the exchange. Seriously thanks, and good luck on the mid-term.

I have video from underneath the banner. I will try to post it later.

When the banner came up at the end of the game I ran with it up the seats ( amazing that I didn't fall ) and held on when I reached the top. It was amazing. The first time it went up I couldn't see Dichio approach the stands. Thank you for the great videos.

It was an amazing day. I met Cummins later that night and he was glowing. He coached a great game, one of his best.

It was funny, being under the banner I did not find out what it said until 8 pm, at a bar.

[uncle p]

Park, your a tease to all supporters who couldnt make this game, guess i'll wait for the "full" vid.

Cambridge, great vid, great song, greater TIFO!! (is greater even a word?)

I don't think it's fair to blame MLSE for the failures of CBC. MLSE/TFC did a heckuva lot to make this event possible including allowing us into the stadium on Friday night to prepare.

While it is possible that MLSE might not have stressed to CBC the scope and importance of what was to occur, to say "fail" to MLSE for this just is not right IMO.

That said, I too am very disappointed to hear that CBC missed the banner!

[Cambridge_Red]

The message was for Danny I'm pretty sure he saw it ;) best not dwell too much if joey nascar missed it.

What a team effort from everyone.

[Afra]

Man that worked out well. I cannot believe how easily is was raised - it certainly looked like you guys know what you were doing!

I only helped the one day and that was a battle. I tried for a second day but my wife didn't get ('Isn't it done yet? You were there for hours!') the size of the thing. She was at the game with me and when it went up her jaw dropped. She asked if that was the banner I was trying to help with over and over again. When I said yes, she just let out a 'holy shit'. Perhaps if there is another massive project, she will loosen up her reins a bit - she now knows that Almo and the RPB banner team are not screwing around.

[guelphguy1965]

I sure picked a good day to do the coin toss for the game. I was few feet from Danny when he came back from thanking supporters for banner and I am sure he had tears in his eyes. My wife told me she shook his hand when he went back to the bench. banner sure looked awesome from ground level.

[Parkdale]

I sure picked a good day to do the coin toss for the game.

I don't think it's fair to blame MLSE for the failures of CBC. MLSE/TFC did a heckuva lot to make this event possible including allowing us into the stadium on Friday night to prepare.

While it is possible that MLSE might not have stressed to CBC the scope and importance of what was to occur, to say "fail" to MLSE for this just is not right IMO.

That said, I too am very disappointed to hear that CBC missed the banner!

Fair enough Blizzard.

I have huge issues with how MLSE honour (or lack there of) special moments and this wasn't the thread to do it in.

In having said that…my guess is that DD's recognition on Saturday was a "supporter's driven" initiative and not an MLSE one.

I look forward to MLSE arranging next season's testimonial against QPR, WBA or PNE…someone might need to explain that one to Tom…

^^Wait till he hears that the gate goes to Danny!

If they only give 10% to Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation...

The phrase "a portion of the proceeds..." comes to mind.

Oh well. The banner was still great and TFC did well to support the fans efforts to get it done.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

^^Very true C_B…props to them!

Hey leo, your avatar...is it still that glorious arse of the girl that was with us and the kids that night we supplied the escorts/ballkids?
Spectacular!

[TFC~Vatreni]

Great job everyone! Many thanks to Al and everyone else who were integral in putting this together. I'm as proud as ever to be a TFC supporter!

[reggie]

great job people...nobody comes close to TFC for fan support in this city.
that was the best moment ever for me at a sporting event...

Oh yes, absolutely. Totally "supporters driven". Nobody would deny that.

and it even turns out that many of the FO people didn't know it was coming.
they knew we were planning 'something special' but didn't know exactly what.

[C.Ronaldo]

whatever happened to that giant tfc/canada flag that would go around the stadium

that would really get the west end into it.

They still have them. They tried to bring it out again earlier this year and this disaster ensued:

[Whoop]

Maybe the FO needs some tips on how to unveil banners. LOL

That's awesome!

The CBC really blew the chance to illustrate the "passion of the game" and the love we have for Danny.

Knowing there was something special happening, my wife was watching at home and called me and said, "That was lame!?!"…my daughter text me from a bar…"Legendary FAIL!"

Are you kidding me? When I got home I fired up the PVR and was gutted!

Great job by the Supporters…the media here once again failed to show the real success of this franchise…the atmosphere…its really about all we have…

It should be noted that MLSE fail at these moments all the time…the Habs get it…

ya they miss quite alot of moments they could use to show the fan passion at TFC games. They seem to never show the fans singing O'Canada at TFC games but always do at Leaf games. Ive also noticed when watching games in like Argentina or Italy on TV they often film the fans with there big flags and banners waving more often then i see them show the TFC fans.

That said that banner was awsome, culdnt of pulled it off better!

let's be fair here:

who ever was in charge of starting the banner did it DURING GAME PLAY.
No wonder people weren't willing to cooperate with the banner that blocked the game.
They tried to bring it out at the 45th minute, but there were like 3 min of extra time.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

^ Yeah... no wonder people were unwilling to cooperate. Those banners should come out before kickoff...

[Parkdale]

^ you know that it was probably some junior employes that were told 'put the banner down at the 45th minute' (meaning at the half) but didn't actually think to delay it for stoppage time.

[Boondaddy]

What a great match to miss.....I go to every game but miss this one match!!! Well at least CBC covered the game so.....oh yeah....damn.

I lose again. simply awesome....
:(
