Would you go to Columbus for a playoff game?

[Bobo]

I know, I know, a bit premature but even if we don't get in its still an interesting observation. The majority of supporters say they will not go to Columbus for next season's opener but how many would crack for the chance to see TFC's first playoff game?

[Keyman]

Yes, no contemplation on my part.

[AL-MO]

Yes, no question. (as long as I am not working or something)

[London]

i would be there!!!

[wzhxvy]

Oh yeah...

I will only go if Rachie is going, so that I can hide behind her when some Columbus cop wants to tase me ;)

All you gotta do is watch out for the warning signs and keep a wide berth! :D

I said no, but its more of a free time issue than a boycott thing. Although, I still don't like the idea of dropping money to go to a scene from Roger and Me.

[ensco]

This matchup is not a sure thing if we get in. Far from it.

TFC could easily wind up 7th with a win Saturday (there's even a remote chance of finishing fourth, ie ahead of Chicago). Also Columbus are not assured of first overall.

There's a real chance we'd get Chivas or Houston (we could even get Seattle) in the first round

we play teams in same conference. 5th team from western conference apparently will be seeded lowered in eastern conference

so most likely scenario is that TFC plays Chicago or Columbus

[prizby]

stand up, if you hate columbus!

[wzhxvy]

Chicago would be better for us as suppoters...I would also think its a better match up but we have a long way to go before we start counting our chickens

[zeelaw]

Be there for the team, not for Columbus... Simple as that.

I see that now.

Since a crossover qualifier would be ranked below all other teams in the conference it crosses over into, this actually means that Chicago is probably just as likely as Columbus (maybe even more likely) to be the first round opponent

would be pretty funny if Dallas met Columbus in first round and deliver an upset

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

would we be there for any other reason...;)


Columbus vs TFC would be intense...

[Wildgreek]

if i can drive there... count me in!

[MUFC_Niagara]

Yes, no question.

[FluSH]

This would probably be one of the only times I would make an exception and return to Columbus:

I suppose he's planning for the Conference final then....

On the theme of not counting chickens... it seems that in recent years MLS has scheduled 3 of the conference semi-finals (home/away dates) on the two Saturdays following the end of the regular season, and 1 on the two Thursdays.

That would impact travel opportunities for people.

Again, not that I am looking beyond NYRB game.

[BC101]

Yes, no question.
LOL yes nutty Bauer...

[TFC Cityboy]

I reckon I'd have to go, as much as I detest the trip home after the inevitable skinful on the saturday.

[Roogsy]

Yes, it's the only exception to my "no Columbus" rule.

[zeelaw]

some peopel still dont get it tho lol

[denime]

Yes I would,but if we make playoffs we will play Chicago Fire anyway.

WHO QUALIFIES: Eight teams qualify for the 2009 MLS Cup Playoffs. Playoff berths will be determined by points in the standings upon the completion of the regular season. All 15 teams will have played 30 games.

The top two teams in each conference qualify and are seeded 1 & 2 in their respective four-team playoff conference brackets.
The four MLS teams with the next most points, regardless of conference, receive "wildcard" berths.


The four wildcard teams will be seeded according to conference first.
If more than four teams qualify from one conference, the team finishing lower than fourth in its conference will shift over to the other conference bracket.
A team switching conference brackets will be seeded below all other teams in its new conference playoff bracket.






http://web.mlsnet.com/standings/index.jsp?standings=playoff

That means Columbus would play Colorado or Dallas,and TFC would play Chicago.
Unless you are asking if we would go to Columbus for Conference Finals you should change you question ;)

[icecoldbeer]

Well played!

[London]

I will go to chicago too!!!!

who has flares!!!!!

Please direct me to the homes of the people who voted "No", and I will grab my nunchucks and throwing stars! :D

For the boys, on the field!

[J-Man]

How long is the drive to chicago anyway.

[TFCtoMUFC]

I would love to go to Columbus. Its a win-win situation. If we win the game than HUGE upset. If we lose, well that was projected and we got to annoy Columbus-incest-folk.

[AL-MO]

Its looking like Chicago if we get in, so don't get your heart set on Columbus.

[cementhead]

If we make the playoff I would think most RPB would fellow this team to the MOON!

[peter_tfc]

You know we'd have to Mark, despite the trip to New York. But damn, I hope it's Chicago.

I wish it would be LA, nice and warm instead of cold.

If we get in it'll be the 8th spot and an upset over which ever club we draw :) but i know what ur sayin

Oh man i would love it to be Clownbus....I Love to hate that place!!

[flatpicker]

If Toronto makes the playoffs, then of course I would want to be there on the road to support them.
But I will have to wait and see if time and money allow for it.
I sure hope so!

[Section 117]

I am in for sure.... Got into it with the fiancee last night when I told her.

Can't blame her as I was almost aressted three times in July when I went down

But for the boys I must go as I can't go this weekend to New York

[Hitcho]

Who would we likely end up playing if we come second in the East?

Hope springs eternal...

[DOMIN8R]

I will go. But not in the visiting supporters section. I won't be kept in a tightly compressed far away place. I want to be in front, close to the pitch in an area that doesn't make it easy for overzealous security to group me in with other TFC fans.

I suggest that we all spread oouuuuuuttt.

[FluSH]

This probably breaks 5 or 6 laws from Sun Tzu's Art of War....

My insurance policy is now $1M... I got a great insurance specialist.

Do the same and she will leave you alone lol

exactly, has "300" taught us nothing?!?

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

I'd only go back to Columbus for CMNT or for a playoff game, so yeah, I would go.

[Bloor West FC]

I hope if we get a playoff game it is on a Thursday,Fri,Sat or Sunday NIGHT!!!!

[Yagbod]

I won $360 on NFL Proline last week (or rather, my wife did by saying things like "I like that song 'oh Carolina' and 'my dad went to Oakland once'...)...

So I am in. No matter where.

[ensco]

If we win and get in, it's 100% certain that we'll play Chicago.

If we tie or lose and get in, it's 50/50 whether it'll Chicago or Columbus.

[FluSH]

I hope it's Chicago...

[Yohan]

I hope it's Chicago...
please yes! we will take over Toyota Park.

(and not set it on fire with flares lol)
