Guys, the supporters section is for standing and I would hope that anyone who gets/buys tickets would take the time to know this fact, but hey newbies are important for the growth and exposure of this team so some understanding is important.

Someone goes into a supporters section.........asks a regular of 2 years to sit down?

Funny thing about this was that just before the game started a family asked me and hazy_venus where to buy tickets. We told them you might have some luck with scalpers if you wait for the game to start.
Then the wifey asks me how hard it is to get tickets, I told them the entire season is pretty much sold out. I told them that if they wanted to sit down, to stay out of the south end and go for the 200's.
Doubt it was them, but if it was, atleast they were warned!

it was one woman section 114 1st row to the right of me, so it was the family.

That's pretty funny and ballsy at the same time.
I told the 1 family to stay out of 110-118 specifically.
Who knows if it was them. The kids looked to be b/w 8-12 or so.
The dad who I mainly talked to said thanks for letting him know and he went towards Gate 1 (we were at gate 1)
Well you don't have to worry about them coming back!

What a stupid request anyway.

If you sit down how are you going to see over the guy in front of you?

Is she going to continue ranting until she gets to the front row?

The nerve of some people is beyond reason.

Is she so trapped in her own head she can't see that every other human in the section is standing?

And Jesus Wept:D

IMHO, this is the other side of the coin from the misconduct by people who are not connected with supporters groups getting into the supporters section and throwing shit. If the supporters group had control of all the supporters section tickets and was responsible for assigning them and policing behavior, there would be both 1) no scalping of supporters seats (i.e. real supporters in the supporters section)* and 2) some accountability for behavior on behalf of the individual and the group in charge of that part of the section.

* unless of course supporters are selling tickets to Joe Public

This is a better solution than a net and higher security. I'm all for it, but I wont surrender the control of my tickets to anybody, nor do I feel I should have to.

I want the security of knowing that as long as I'm paying, those seats belong to me and my son, whoever runs the supporters groups.

I think the only way this would happen would be if they put in a new stand in the north. Its a good idea.... but...

i don't consider myself a rpb per-say - although i post and go on the odd road trip - i'm just a supporter of the team. so does that mean i'd be excluded from a stand w/ allotments to supporters groups? even though i stand, jump, and sing myself hoarse every week, and make banners for my section? just b/c i'm not affiliated?

Dude, you can't have it both ways.

I know that, I'm just pointing out that if I was expected to surrender my tickets, I would want to be reseated elsewhere in the stadium,so that nobody can 'muscle me out of' the seats I'm entitled to, when they decide they dont like my opinions on the internet.

It's all very well having this $25 exclusive card that gets you into Shoeless, and a message board with a members only section, a badge and a scarf, but when you get free reign over the supporters section, and the right to decide who gets to go in it, where does that power stop? You cant tell me it wouldnt be abused, and degenerate into favouritism and power tripping.

This would be a great way for those who didnt get tickets on time to politically remove STH from their seats as well.

Those are my concerns.

SilverSamurai
06-17-2008, 12:38 PM
I would think perhaps the supporters having say 20-40seats in the section to distribute amoungst themselves would be fair.
That way the STH keep their seats, but the other seats belong to the supporters.

I get ya man. I would assume that as long as you are a 'member' of the particular supporters club than you couldn't have your seats moved from the section you have tickets in. But if someone didn't want to be a part of the SC, and still wanted to stay, sorry tough luck you have to take seats somewhere else.

Well, to be totally self serving and a ridiculous request, but MLSE should contact season ticket holders in the Supporters Section and ask if they want to move out of there to a "quieter" section of the stadium. Then, you have a list of people who WANT to move there and do a ticket exchange.

It's a win/win situation.

Consolidation of the supporters throughout the stadium will do HUGE things for the atmosphere.

My only gripe with the limited capacity is that I knew this problem would arise.

I'm the first Four rows of that section, and I do stand for the majority of the game. Why is it that you think you should be able to dictate how people should show their support? I realize that there are some people in our section that rather sit and watch and get up when the feel the time is right, what is your issue with that? Let people do what they want, as long as they're not being an asshole to anyone who fucking cares. You stand for 90 min good for you, nothing you say or do will change they way some people choose to support.

People take issue for a couple reasons.

1. The south end is supposed to be for the supporters groups whos hard work in creating the atmosphere that the whole stadium enjoys. If everyone in the south end took a 'ill stand when I feel its appropriate' attitude then it would be exactly like the rest of the stadium and BMO wouldnt be able to make their stupid commerical.

2. Just like standing, sitting is contagious. Someone a few rows back sees you sitting down and thinks 'well I would like to sit down too but these assholes in front of me want to stand all game. Im going to ask them to sit down or complain to a steward'. People sitting down will invariably think the people standing in front of them, obstructing their view are being assholes. This is a slow gradual process that could corrode the atmosphere that the people in the south end work so hard to create.

Do whatever you want, but as ilikemusic said, don't come to the Supporter's end and try that. There are plenty of other sections that will accomodate that if you like.(pretty much the rest of the stadium) And the reason 'Well the tickets are cheaper" there doesn't wash...they are cheaper because they are supposed to be occupied by supporters, not just someone who wants to take in a game...

if you want to sit get a ticket outside the supporters section, the majority of people in the first 4 rows of 116 dont even bother singing and clapping most of the game. And it bothers the people behind you because it takes away from the experience of being in the supporters section. Next time you're sitting in the middle of the game turn around, look to you left, look to your right, you'll realize that you and the few people around you are the only ones sitting in the entire supporters section.

I find it hilarious every time "East Side Stand Up" start. These asses get up, stand until the chant ends, then sit right back down in unison. I fucking hate it. The chants aren't hard to do outside of a couple of them I'm still trying to pick up. These are the same people who turn around and look at me like I'm a fucking lunatic when I'm chanting. Granted, I'm wearing a soccer ball hat and a hula skirt with a US flag hanging behind me*, so they have their reasons.

*(I do it to represent the US guys. Please don't get on me for it. I love this team and sing O Canada right along with you guys. It is in NO WAY a disrespectful gesture. If you want to discuss this with me either positive or negative, please PM me. I don't want the thread to get off topic.)

Part time Supporter, I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you on what is or isn't a supporter. Regardless of what people think or do, your always going to get some people in the south end that don't want to stand for the whole game end of story. I understand that some of you feel that it take away from the atmosphere, but at the end of the day you will never be able to dictate what people should be doing and how they do it.

I have encouraged some people to stand for the duration of the game, and some refuse. As they have every right to. I would love for everyone to be on their feet cheering the club on to victory for 90 mins, but some where people who purchased tickets as soon as this club was announced. Now they sit in the section that they feel is in line with their budget, sadly it's in the supporters section.

So What can really be done about the issue? Forcing people to sell their tickets and buy more expensive seats isn't an option for some. Maybe some of those people around me are at their limit. In time if the ticket prices increase those people will no longer be able to afford to go to the games. That's the only way I see some of them giving up their seats.

They could or they could do as they choose.

Pretty lame shit to do in the south end and to me is just a notch down from throwing bottles on the pitch. One will get us a net in front of us, the other is an atmosphere killer.

What if someone chose to act inappropriately in 227 (the family section) would that be okay too?

Certain sections have certain rules and expectations of behaviour.

I agree throw shit on the field is lame, but I hardly think that a few rows of people who choose to sit at times are effecting the atmosphere of the entire south end. I know it doesn't help the cause. I'm not sure if you noticed but the first row in our section are different people every week, how do you propose we deal with that?

Like I said, I choose to stand, but you will never be able to ensure that 100% of the south end is standing!!

Sure, if you like? But don't be surprised when Security asks you to leave?

The Club isn't dictating that people are required to stand in this section you are.

The funny thing is, I'm playing devils advocate on this issue. I would love to see the whole southend standing, but how can it be accomplished, that's the question? People that write on these boards that people should be removed from that section and moved to another, are not being realistic. What is your solution? Anyone?

You could always throw streamers at their beer and swear at them. I hear that works real well!

we just need the people in row 1 to stand up, then everyone else will be forced to stand up

TFC should put a disclaimer on the Supporters tickets so that newbies understand that if you want to sit, and be quiet, SIT SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN!

I agree 100%!

It does amaze me that if you complain about wankers who throw shit at the players, you are labelled a 'crybaby'

Yet the people who use that term whine endlessly about people who sit down, or dont chant, or wear something that isnt TFC related.

Suck it up, whiners, watch the fucking game and let the police and security deal with them.

Simple solution just tell them you can'tt sit because you've got severe case of haemmarhoids, to make it even more convincing showthem a tube of Preparation H and say "You might need to help me put this on the hard to reach spots"
