View Full Version : An idea for a "Supporter's Gate" at BMO field.

My idea (and I've tried to get Paul B to buy into this) is a "supporters gate" worthy of the the support we give TFC.

Basically (in the style of Anfield's gates) a large coat of arms of either Toronto or Canada (National soccer stadium). See pictures and vote.

Some of you know that I once saw an existing large wrought iron Canadian coat of arms at MLG that has since disappeared. I am trying to locate it or at least find out what happened to it. This would be a great thing to put on display at BMO.

If we can't find it/obtain it, I'd like MLSE to get one or, since I come from a family of welders/artists, we make one and donate it to BMO Field.

What better way to put a nice little stamp on our stadium in these perilous times.

Questions? Ideas? Wanna help?

I've had this idea for a while but with North expansion, the threat of the Argos, the PAN AM games coming, the opinion of some that TFC's badge have more "history" in it etc, I thought I'd create a thread and see how it goes.

I would LOVE to see something like that. The coat of arms of Canada might be appropriate since it's also the national soccer stadium, but the old coat of arms of TO looks SHARP, although with the approximately 8 zillion references to Great Britain on it and inappropriate First Nations stereotype, I can see why they changed it...

Either would rock.

There's also the coat of arms of Ontario:

We'd all be indebted to you for life if you did. :) Still, unless they auctioned it off, gave it away, melted it down or threw it out, the Canada coat of arms is the one on the gate MLSE may or may not have, which works out best.

I don't think you'd have to make one yourself. You see the big metal plaques all over courthouses and other public buildings, so there's probably a way to buy one, perhaps from the government.

I'm not sure he's talking about the same thing, though... I think we're talking about a ginormous gate actually in the shape of the coat of arms, not one that just has the coat of arms on it.

The best place for something like this would be in the middle of the south end. All the other entrances already have "gates". Gate 3 has the big BMO Field sign and iron gates to get in.

But - the south end entrance in the middle of the south end doesn't have anything. It might be nice there.

Personally, I think the next thing to be built at BMO should be a roof over the south end.

ya but most fans in the south end dont actually care about getting wet and more just about making a louder atmosphere. Where many fans in the east and west stands where people pay more money for there seats dont show up to games that rains. If the south end got a stand fans in other sections would complain that they deserve a roof as well and every stand would need a roof then which could cost quite a bit of money.

IF anything the south end stand would be the last stand to get a roof since they are the cheap seats. Getting a roof in the south stand also may mean they will raise ticket prices.

Roof also = much better atmosphere. It amplifies chants like you would not believe.

I now see 3 (and counting?) attempts to equate my idea to wanting a bigger dick, trying to sell the idea to a sponsor, and masturbation.

My dick is fine thank you very much.

maybe we should wait until we have a little more history then building a special supporters entrance when half of this group is talking about relocating to the north stands if they are allowed to if and when that happens. i personally don't understand why there's a need to copy everything anfield road.

maybe after 15 years when the supporters section is really full of supporters and not just a couple of sections with sporadic clusters of "supporters", then it would be fitting to install a nice fancy gate for the supporters. threads like these come off as such an ego boosting bullshit topic....the club and it's front office should do this on their own, as a gift to the supporters, not the other way around.

It should be something earned, not gained with emails and votes.

and for fucks sake, we will never be anfield road, or celtic park, or old trafford, or anything else...stop trying to create this special unique stadium and allow time and history to do that on its own.

I only used Anfield as an example for people to visualize the idea. I am not Scouse.

I am a MANC for EPL purposes.

This really started as a love for the coat of arms I saw all those years ago. I finally thought I found a home for it - BMO.

I am calling it a "Supporters Gate" b/c I am really trying to sell the idea and that includes giving it a reason to exist. Southend main gate= large number of Supporters etc.

Replace this idea with any of the ideas we've had for TIFOs and banners. Same concept.

History doesn't do a damn thing on its own. People make history.

Billy's merely suggesting we could be those people helping make history with regards to a Supporters Gate.

But, hey, wait out the years until the team and the supporter groups have enough "history". Then see how many more people get overly passionate about the issue in whole new ways.

History isn't always the good thing you suggest. Sometimes its actually smart to start a project when things are fresh and new.

The Canadian one is really nice lookin'... but we're Toronto FC not Canada FC... and for that reason, I'd go with the new Toronto design (since it's the better of the two T.O. designs) but I would prefer a modified Toronto-centred design really.

(Yes, I know it's also the NSS but I'd prefer a TFC design unless we get some more national team games here).

and dude that's cool, but i just think it's far too soon. maybe get them to erect it in your end at the top of the section...but as far as a supporters gate like in anfield, etc....that is something the club should want to do on their own, not something the fans do for themselves.

This isn't about Anfield. This is about trying to claim a stadium for TFC and Canada with as much "stamps" as we can muster to fight off the Argos.

Paul B has entertained the idea with me slighty and who knows, maybe the FO would give us this gift.

^ Yeah dude I don't know you but it sounds like you're NEE. I don't need to have this turn into SG's against one another.

This isn't about Anfield. This is about trying to claim a stadium for TFC and Canada with as much "stamps" as we can muster to fight off the Argos.

Paul B has entertained the idea with me slighty and who knows, maybe the FO would give us this gift.
being NEE or not has nothing to do with the issue of having a gate... And who gives a shit where he stands or who he's with... He is a STH and supporter just like you, and as such, has just as much right to an opinion on what happens to the stadium as you do...

I don't know what your trying to pull bringing supporter groups into this, but this is not about SGs... this is about trying to bring in a fancy gate that suggests our team and stadium has history, when it just does not yet...

Ummm... so, just so we're clear..... what is your stance on this? In one breath you rant that history should "unfold" but then agree that people "make" history.

Arguing for just for the sake of arguing, are we?

hurr derp people are involved in history which was the point i was making, as opposed to people fabricating history, as in what some people on these boards (a few members and non-members that post here seem to want to do).

People should be involved in the history, not trying to fabricate it out of thin air. no SG's at BMO deserve any special gate like other stadiums have for their fans. we aren't at that level yet and the team and fans should be more focused on the atmosphere inside the stadium rather then the gate outside the stadium.

if billyboy wants to make a special rig that he welds himself, go for it....hang it up in 112, it would seriously look nice there. as far as any sort of special gate, no.

and fighting? jesus christ fighting is when someone punches someone else in the face, and then said person returns the punch to the others face. this is simply discussing a thread on the internet. stop getting so butthurt guys.

Somebody better alert Randy Lerner that the scousers have secretly taken over Birmingham with the Anfield-ish gates at Villa Park!

no, they just probably stole it back from the scousers. an eye for an eye.

I still don't see why people are getting so bent out of shape over this. BMO already has a style in the south end with iron fencing similar to Anfield (and about a million other soccer stadiums). Billy used anfield as an example, but he could have easily used villa park or ibrox to get his point across.

I don't understand why people would be upset about someone wanting to improve the stadium. Right now the centre entrance of the south end doesn't have any stylized gate - just plain gates that open.

What's so wrong about putting a nice looking gate there for fans to get a smile out of when entering the stadium?

And one final point for all the people who seem to be blowing this out of preportion - I bet that Billy's suggestion has more to do with the Old Toronto Pics thread in Off Topic than it does to do with us wanting to rip off LFC.

12-07-2009, 11:01 PM
well you should expect criticism in a public forum and not be so tender breast. it's not like i attacked you or anything...the fact of the matter is a lot of TFC fans, including those in front office, are trying to develop some sort of anfield-ish history rather then letting it happen on it's own. yeah it's the off-season, and there's not much to talk about...still doesn't make this a better idea.

and it was a cockney that said to a certain scouse football player "Stop being such a whiny cunt".



"History doesn't do a damn thing on its own. People make history."

what the fuck is that supposed to mean? of course people make history, so i don't see what your point is. maybe you shouldn't miss the point that people at anfield road didn't make a poll on a website to gather interest in approaching their FO to make THEM a supporters gate....but rather that the FO should do that on their OWN, as a gift to the supporters, when they seem fit.

"History isn't always the good thing you suggest. Sometimes its actually smart to start a project when things are fresh and new."

:picard:....whaaat? following this line of thinking i'm going to request that we also get MLSE to replace the metal stands with pre-aged 40 year old wood and stain it to look as if it's an additional 40 years old....hey we can also ask them to hang a plaque at the entrance to gate 3 to thank the fans of 25 years of support through both thick and thin. fuck letting history do its own thing and allowing our heritage and stories with this club unfold on it's own...we need to pre-plan it ahead, just like mojo's 5 year plan! proven results!
Something tells me that you, sir, have completely and utterly missed the point.

The Anfield gate was provided as an example. We are not going to have You'll Never Walk Alone at the top, and if you'd bothered to read, you'd know that in fact the idea was inspired by something in Toronto; the gate at Anfield was cited as an example as an afterthought by another poster.

How on Earth is this manufacturing a fake history?

This may come across as overly confrontational, but I just hate to see people shoot down others' ideas while providing none of their own. That's why so little gets accomplished through these boards; people show up to push their own personal agenda, stir up shit, shoot down good ideas and then disappear having done nothing positive.

I think the gate idea is a good one but only if they use the coat of arms from MLG. That is a piece of Toronto history.

As for the copying of anfield I don't think thats true. There are plenty others with gates as well. This is how history is made. A group of people set out to do something they believe in through their advocacy and actions.

If I could obtain this coat of arms I'd be happy if they hung it up anywhere. It doesn't have to be a gate. This idea was a combo of a bunch of things. My passion for "old Toronto", trying to add something to the stadium in the name of the SGs, making it more of a "national soccer stadium" etc.

I'm not really sure what people are getting at with the whole 'manufacturing a fake history thing' anyway. History isn't something that just happens on it's own. You know why they call it the pre-historic era? Because nobody really did anything of note other than epic feats of hunter-gatherage, like killing sabertooth tigers, and getting frozen into blocks of ice because they were too lazy to migrate way from advancing glaciers.

It's people who make history, it's not just something that happens. I suppose the Greeks were manufacturing a plastic history when they built that tacky Parthenon thingy?

And in any case; how can this be construed as an attempt to make history? It's an attempt to add some flavour to the stadium, it's a gate with the Canadian coat of arms, not a massive 'This Is Our House' placard or something. And what I really find surprising is seeming opposition from some to the idea of one of our own making this gate... that's kinda weird.

I can understand not wanting a gate, but the 'fake history' thing doesn't make sense to me.

I never realized that supporters efforts to create history were directly tied to a team's winning percentage.

How did teams that never win anything ever create their own history?

Winning percentage has nothing to do with it. I don't know where you got that idea. History is created with time and events...we are just starting to create our own history (Seat Cushion frisbee, Year 1 Streamer Showers, Dichio24, Year 1 Pitch Invasion, Columbus Invasion) and all of that happened naturally. Nothing was forced. Is it so wrong to let things like that happen on their own?

It was about as forced as this was: a person, or a group of people, made them happen. The Dichio chant didn't come to someone as a vision in a dream, and it wasn't discovered written on stone tablets under Shoeless Joe's by FluSH on an archeological dig. That would be an instance of something happening completely 'naturally', with no human intervention. Everything that's happened with TFC has been the result of someone or a group of people taking initiative.

When something comes from the heart, it is not forced.

And no, it is not wrong to let things happen on their own, but things like what Billy is suggesting isn't one of those things that simply appear out of thin air. Someone has to suggest it, it gets mulled over time and eventually it happens. I don't see anywhere in this thread where it says that the gate needs to be there by opening game 2010.

But instead of it happening in a timely manner, when people resist all it does is ensure that it happens after it naturally should.

As for winning percentage...go back and read the comments and tell me your statements are inline with the other ones with regards to winning.

I agree with you in spirit, but I don't see how adding a gate fits into what you're saying. How is a gate history - fabricated or otherwise? When it comes to a supporter's culture things like you mentioned should evolve organically and naturally...if MLSE came to us and said "Ok, your new tradition is to sing for Dichio in the 24th minute of every game" it never would have caught on. Adding an ornate gate can't happen on its own, if its to happen then it needs to come at someone's initiative.

And what if it was a "this is our house" banner? Would everyone's opinion change then?
Well, there is quite a difference between the two in my opinion at least. A Canadian coat of arms is likely to be something that never falls out of favour, and it is our national soccer stadium, so it fits quite naturally. Whereas 'this is our house' could fall out of favour within the next year or two; its popularity has already dropped like a stone for one thing.

I would probably even be against a Dichio gate or something of that sort. I love DD to bits, but seeing as we've only been around for 3 years, it is very premature.

But I don't see how that argument can apply to a Canadian coat of arms gate, is all.

I think it has to do with just not feeling we've earned it yet... like retiring jersey #12.. it's too soon, but one day...

Myself, I don't care, a gate is a gate.. my only problem is they'll probably sell the naming rights to some company... I would more, read some consistent, style at BMO, and a wrought iron gate I wouldn't have an issue with...

I personally think that in 20 years when the whole thing falls apart, we DEFINITELY need to do something like this... but I also think we need to get someone who knows what they're doing to work on the appearance design, and not just the functional design...

Oh man - I just posted in here on page 7 without reading the rest of it, because Billy posted something about gates in the "so it begins" thread...

Now i just read a chunk of this thread and I'm wishing I hadn't bothered! :D

Anyway, to answer your question Billy, I'd be all over putting some style around the edges of BMO Field. We have big black railings all around the place and yeah, it would be nice to see some of them have city of toronto shields in, alternating with the TFC crest etc. That sounds good. It could stay black railings, just wrought the crests in for a subtle, understated bit of class. Can't see anyone paying for that though! :D

Now here's a good extension of your idea - we should have a separate gate used exclusively by visiting teams (not the players' entrance our boys use). It would be called Scabgate and would be very, very low and have lots of sharp pointy bits on the design, especially in the bit you walk through. Welcome to BMO Field boys! :D:D:D

can you stop referring to the team we all support as 'dig shit' ?

some of us happen to like that team, and even if their play is sub-part at the moment, I think that comparison goes too far.


hell... if you don't like Toronto FC... no one is forcing you to attend.

I dont think I once called them dig shit to be honest, and sub par at the moment? Has it ever been over par?

Some of us happen to like the team too, which is why instead of sitting quiet and doing nothing we feel the need to push the team to improve.

yes, and we all know how well that went.

I'm sure there's an edited thread somewhere you can link to for reference.

I beg to differ.

The Hot Chick thread is the best thread of all time and I will smack the shit out of anyone who says otherwise! :boxing:
I like this one, for some odd reason. It's like Festivus has come early.

Before someone else posts the "Walkout" thread, I'll go on record as stating that in the immediate aftermath of the Vancouver debacle, I was steaming mad and definitely in favour of a walkout. I spoke to a few people about it, realized that I was just reacting to my anger rather than any soret of rational thought, and calmed down.

Before I did though, I posted my support for a walkout in the old private "Supporters United" forum on the NEE board that Nomad mentioned in his oh so clever attempt to zing me.

After I calmed down, and I posted my reconsidering of the matter in the same thread. Somehow those posts are gone, but hey, that's cool.

I am human, and as such I am subject to the normal range of emotions that humans go through. Sometimes I am irrational, and in my opinion my support of a walkout at that juncture was irrational (fuelled by my anger over the loss). I apologize for not seeing everything in black or white, or actually having the capability to change my thinking based on rational, analytical thought rather than base emotion.

And now you know...

Here's my idea for the gate

There would be a moon here, a large rocket
be all dark space punctuated by planets
i would have a close up of like a lady on a cliff and she would have a giant fucking laser gun and she would be just you know, protecting.

See 0:50 into this vid.

we all say things in the heat of the moment that we might regret later:




from some twitter account:




Hey TFC FO i have 39 tickets to Montreal that you can use to give to Vancouver FO so they can attend and get their trophy. 8:35 AM Jun 3rd (http://twitter.com/CXXVIINEE07/status/2017561788) from web

I ain't the coach, or a scout, or the GM. I am just a short Portuguezer that has access to welding equipment and a passion for old stuff, beer, sports and filipinas.

Its the only thing i can directly do.

She has a great behind.


There is no need to "add" a supporter gate. Gate 2 is unused so just slap a fancy heading on it and call it a supporters gate. Never seen anyone use it so there would be no need to build anything.

Changing my mind about protesting a loss and letting people know well ahead of time was such a Judas thing of me to do. My Supporters Cup team name was so appropriate, I'm glad someone else thought of it for me.
