If it become official, I hope thats good enough, publicity to attract the attention of a quality Centre back to want to play for at least half the season.

I can't imagine Garcia versus Rooney, I wouldn't want the team to be know for having ended Rooney's or Berbatov's career, please God no more nightmares, :hulk:

From what I am hearing and reading, it's unlikely they will play at BMO. Rogers Centre against another top European team is more likely.

Even if United is coming to Toronto I doubt you'll see guys like Rooney on the pitch. Maybe some of the younger guys and the non-WC guys.

Well, i'm not so sure about that. As I said in the United thread, in 2004 they brought a full squad and that was after Euro 2004. I am pretty sure in the WC/Euro years the EPL starts a week or two later.

It would be nice to yell at that "Englishman," Hargreaves.

Whoop
03-29-2010, 02:44 PM
I'm sure that SAF would want to give those guys a rest after the WC...

But I guess it depends on the timing of the tour. If it's just before the EPL season, then SAF might use the games to get the guys acclimatized to any new signings.

Also depends how deep into the WC some of the players go.

might be in the contract that the top players have to play a half, barring injury.

I am almost positive the tour will start July 25 or even July 27 with the All-Star game. That would be two weeks after the WC Final, and that barring injury, the entire squad will be here. The same thing happened in 2004. Euro 2004 ended July 4, NA tour began July 24. United brought a full squad that time.

as I said in the United thread, last year RM was played on an off-weekend, which they don't have this year, so there's a better chance it won't be versus TFC.

and if its 2 big clubs, I see them playing at Skydome.

they didn't have an off weekend last year either, they had to move the red bulls game.

I hope it's at the skydome against another big team, bmo full of man u fans for a tfc game would be awful.

5 years ago i went to Chicago to see MUFC play Bayern Munich. Bayern showed up with their whole first team...I mean everyone...Ballack etc. MUFC showed up with their reserve team. I drove 8hrs to see that garbage. Adidas was even kind enough to hand out FREE Bayern jerseys...YES FREE to everyone who attended...I probably took 10 and gave them to friends and family. MUFC was in breach of their contract, so they flew in 6 1st team members for their next game in Boston or NYC 2 days later because the hosts threatened to sue MUFC. Don't forget, it's a WC year, so. most of the stars will not show up...

Nothing is signed yet and these things have a way of falling through, so says MLS/SUM.

From Houston Chronicle:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/soc/6935114.html

The article notes that Man City is a possible alternative, as they are expected to be touring in the US as well.

If Man City plays Utd as one of those four games... oh I have to sit down and catch my breath just thinking of it.

I just don't see the point of bringing in teams to embarrass TFC with a lopsided win with out them even really trying. It just is bad bad karma, plus people cheer for the opposition at these matches. I went to the Real Madrid game, wasn't going to go but my girlfriend surprised me with the tickets for my birthday. It made me sick to my stomach hearing the fans in my section cheering for Madrid and going on about how bad we (TFC) suck. I turned around and had a yelling match with a girl who wouldn't shut up about TFC being shiite.

And, as mentioned numerous times, Fergie admitted that this was a PR gaffe and had a number of first teamers on the plane for the next game. I highly doubt that they will book a PR tour and leave the most marketable faces at home. That sort of defeats the purpose.

When I saw them play Celtic in Seattle the full first team was out, it was a fantastic night out.

paul said it was the same day as a TFC game up the road. probably the away game on the 17th cause the jays play most other days TFC plays except the 24th, but the argo's are at the dome the day before so that makes it less likley.

lot of first teamers who aren't playing in the world cup

VDS, Berba, Evans, Giggs, Neville (maybe),Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Valencia, Obertan.

depending how things go, we migth see some WC'ers too ie. if Serbia & Korea don't get out of their groups we could see Park & Vidic.

Hell, if England have to face Germany in the round of 16 on June 26/27, that would leave 3-4 weeks between their last game & the game here, making fore a tiny chance for Rooney et al.

If in fact the FO declined a friendly with MUFC in order to maintain the integrity of our league schedule, that is a huge leap. I imagine there were other considerations that went into the decision but still, that is extraordinary.

I wonder if the money details weren't to MLSE's liking, that would explain it too (ie MUFC gets truckloads of money, MLSE gets the pocket change).

Is integrity of the league schedule the reason? All I heard was that MLSE declined it. Paul said we'd have to wait a couple of months for the reason.

If that is not confirmed, there could be plenty of reasons (ie - demands by United TFC can't/won't meet, already committed to another friendly on that date)

spending ~10% of the original cost of the stadium on things like grass, north stand, is pouring money in IMO. and when that 8k more seats come in, most of its probably gonna be MLSE money too.

:picard:

Most of the grass was paid by the Edu transfer.
And in my mind, as with most people, pouring money means paying something expensive for something, or something more than minimal. Peddie said himself in 2007 the stadium was built on the cheap .. 'bare bones' were his exact words. This north stand being built is nothing to upgrade the stadium. It is only an expansion. There is no bar raised on the design nor on the finishes of the stadium relative to what exists now in other parts. In other words, its still on the cheap. There is no 'pouring' of money going on here. Just minimal what is is needed. (Never mind the double the price of tickets for this section).

where MLSE gots the money for the changes is irrelevant. the fact is they chose to spend it on BMO instead of any other number of options.

By all accounts, the grass system being put in is anything but bare-bones or cheap which would fall under your definition of "pouring money in".

While the north stand construction isn't top quality admittedly, they are still putting more money into the stadium instead keeping it for the shareholders or who knows what else.

Give me a blank cheque to spend on anything I want I'll go balls out also.
But I not getting in a tit for tat about the field. a field is just that a field. The stadium is something else entirely. And the actual stadium is bares bones. Bare bones like before but higher prices.

Shaughno
03-31-2010, 02:41 PM
Adding seats to the stadium doesn't make players want to come to Toronto any more than they already would. Adding proper grass to a stadium so they aren't playing on shitty ass overused FieldTurf... it at least gives us a credible surface to try and entice players with.

Besides, who else do you think the grass was for? Us?

boban
03-31-2010, 03:38 PM
Oh I agree with most of what your are saying.
I just meant that the field is a separate component.
It's the stands that make a stadium.

Shaughno
03-31-2010, 03:40 PM
So they should have spent the money on the stands instead? Giving us a north end and MORE seating?

I'm not sure what else you're looking for... baby steps. No point expanding to 30k off the bat.

Not saying that. Why do guys on this board always equate things to either this or that? Why can't it be AND?
All I am saying is they should increase the budget - that's all.
More seating yes, but also an upgrade in the facility. There is no upgrade from the stands of 2007 to the stands currently going up.

Expect shirts, not stars (http://www.torontosun.com/sports/soccer/2010/03/31/13430536.html)



That rumoured “Manchester United” vs. “Celtic” friendly likely won’t include top players.

There has yet to be an official announcement, but supporters of both Manchester United and Scottish giant Celtic are gearing up for a friendly between the two teams at Rogers Centre on either July 16 or 17.

I saw Celtic/Roma at the Rogers center and they had that cunt Totti in the starting lineup, actually that game wasn't bad in terms of starting players. I'd say nearly half the lineups were regulars.

On the plus side, the last time Fergie didn't bring his big names, he got shit on and brought them half way through the tour. I wouldn't be surprised to see any new signings, along with the players who didn't go to the WC.

All the non-WC players, and the ones that exit early will come.

With the exception of that one game a few years back, Fergie always takes the first team along, and plays a mix of the first team players, and prospects.

This isn't just a showboat PR tour, it's their pre-season.

I have a feeling that they will be pretty up front about who will and won't be coming, as far as big names come.

What kind of number are we expecting for available tickets in Philly? Last I heard, Philly were doing a reciprocal thing based on the number of tickets available to their traveling supporters. If that's true, we'd only be looking at 200 or so tickets available to all TFC fans.

Well, depending on how well the Union does attendance-wise in their first season, there may not be that many tickets allocated to visiting supporters in the first place. Hard to tell at this point. We will be one of the first teams to play them at their new stadium, with the novelty factor and all, it may be close to being sold out during those early games. Having said that, I plan on going to Philly.

I don't think the game itself will impact traveling support. I think that the 8-9 hour drive from Toronto is the bigger factor.

We've done well to get 300 folks out to NE considering the travel time and there is no game to compete against.

Folks who were planning to go to Philadelphia, by and large, are committed. They wouldn't let an exhibition game stand in their way. Those who go to the exhibition game probably weren't going to make the driving/hotel weekend commitment anyways.

They dont play TFC


There has yet to be an official announcement, but supporters of both Manchester United and Scottish giant Celtic are gearing up for a friendly between the two teams at Rogers Centre on either July 16 or 17.
And even though United likely will be forced to leave many of its stars at home — including Wayne Rooney, the Premiership’s best striker at the moment — the head of Canada’s official Man U. supporters’ group says it won’t matter.
The date of the rumoured Celtic-Man U. game is just a week after the World Cup. So, there is a good chance that players who went to South Africa wouldn’t be recalled to the club right away, especially, if the EPL title chase goes down to the wire as expected and United also ends up playing in the Champions League final. That would mean a lot of star players won’t have any kind of off-season until after the World Cup.
Rooney will star for England, as will centre-back Rio Ferdinand. Ji-Sung Park will play every minute of every game for his native South Korea. And Nemanja Vidic will be the rock of the Serbian defence. Serbia is a real darkhorse in this tournament, after fashioning one of the best campaigns in qualifying, so don’t expect the Serbs to go home early.
As well, Celtic striker Georgios Samaras is a key part of Greece’s World Cup plans.
There should not be an issue with the new turf at Rogers Centre. In previous North American tours Manchester United has not objected to playing on FieldTurf, as it played on fake grass at Giants Stadium and at Qwest Field in Seattle. The CFL’s Argos play host to Calgary July 14, so there would be no time to change the surface.
But, a game without the World Cup stars is still worth the ticket price, said Michael Singer, the chairman of the Manchester United Supporters Club of Canada.
“We know there are players going to be rested, but lots of good players will play. I am sure it will be packed. If we get 2,000 tickets (as a club), I am sure we’ll sell all of them.”
While so many United stars would likely miss a date a week after the World Cup wraps, veteran stars like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes would likely be available, as will Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov. United would also likely make some summer signings before a North American tour.
But the recent history of friendlies in Toronto has been mixed. Real Madrid’s win over Toronto FC last season was massive because the Merengues guaranteed they would give the superstars significant playing time, so Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka would be on hand to entertain the fans.
But that same season also saw the Reds host a lamentable game against Argentina’s River Plate, where the Buenos Aires club started a bunch of reserve players and teenagers, slapping their hosts and supporters in the face. The only thing memorable about that match were the fans of River rivals Boca Juniors who tried to place a team banner in the south stand of BMO Field.
Last year, the CNE promoted a match between Benfica and Celtic, even though their European seasons had already started and World Cup qualifiers were happening at the same time. Yes, Celtic fans flocked to the game and partied as if they were watching the team’s legendary 1967 European Cup winners, but the club brought just one regular over for the trip.
In its first season, TFC hosted a Benfica team that had just finished its season the week before. And, other than a victory lap for Portuguese legend Rui Costa, the game was played at a walking pace.
Too many teams are simply taking the money hoping their names are enough to sell these exhibitions.
Other than the Madrid game, Toronto has had success when clubs that are using the tours for their training camps — with jobs on the line — come to town. The 2008 MLS all-star game against West Ham was a great spectacle, as was a 2007 friendly against Aston Villa. Those clubs had players who had something to prove on the field.
United won’t have anything to prove so soon after a World Cup. Neither will Celtic. If the game happens, it will be a heck of a party — but don’t expect it to have the star power of Madrid’s 2009 visit.

Anytime a worldwide power comes to North America its good for the game...

And, its good for the team involved also... I'm not saying its a one-way street...

ManU is one of the world's most popular teams. Giving their fans in Toronto a chance to see them play is good for them, and good for the game here... Celtic is very popular throughout the world, giving their fans a chance to see them play against a world power like ManU is a great thing as well (both here and abroad)...

I wish that ManU was playing TFC - because seeing a world class club play our squad only increases our standing in the world, and from a selfish level I'd love to watch them in person (like Real Madrid last year)...

I know I'm in the minority in that standing, but thats my feeling. Any time a storied franchise can come over here to play on our soil, I see as an honour. From Real Madrid, to ManU, to Liverpool, to Barcelona, to any world power - I never thought I'd see the day those teams would show up to play "Toronto"...

Hey guys, question.

I'm a big TFC fan, but I live near Ottawa and I've never been to a TFC game. Me and my good friend (who is a DC United fan, but he follows TFC) are planning on going to Toronto this summer to see either a Jays game or a Toronto FC game (or both!). Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get tickets for a Toronto FC game. Would getting tickets to the Man U-Cletic friendly be easier? And, more importantly, would it be a good alternative soccer/fan wise?

In a perfect world, we'd get tickets to the TFC-Rapids game July 10th, and the Jays game July 9th, but it's difficult to get TFC tickets. Any suggestions/opinions? Thanks.

Me and my good friend (who is a DC United fan, but he follows TFC) are planning on going to Toronto this summer to see either a Jays game or a Toronto FC game (or both!). Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get tickets for a Toronto FC game. Would getting tickets to the Man U-Cletic friendly be easier? And, more importantly, would it be a good alternative soccer/fan wise?

In a perfect world, we'd get tickets to the TFC-Rapids game July 10th, and the Jays game July 9th, but it's difficult to get TFC tickets. Any suggestions/opinions? Thanks.
Have you tried ticketmaster? There should still be tickets for the TFC-Rapids game.

The first, and so far only, TFC game I've ever been to was in Montreal last June. A quick check by me found out a train from Ottawa to Montreal is $65 round trip. Add a game ticket and a cheap hotel room and you could conceivably do it all for under $200.


The 2nd TFC game I will be going to is this year's game in Montreal. Ticket is ordered, train ticket bought, and the hotel reservation made. I'm travelling from London though and staying 3 nights, so my trip will probably cost me $1000 by the time I drop some money at the ballet populaire and other locales in the city that appeal to single men with some disposable cash.

It is not that hard to get tickets. Check the ticket trader for the TFC-Rapids game come a couple days before and you'll get some. I've gotten games on game day multiple times. If you really want tickets earlier, msg me and I'll see what I can do for you.

So it'll be a Premier League team reserve squad against an even worse Irish team, in a friendly.
Anyone who pays money for that is mad.

Aren't Celtic from Glasgow, that would be Scotland!!

doesn't really matter, any stories of football being played outside of england in the united kingdom are mostly legends and myth

LMAO.....that Ryan Giggs is one hell of a reserve team player....he's won 11 league titles! As is that Van der Sar. Oh, Scholes is ok too.

Thanks a lot for the help guys, it's much appreciated.

Unfortunately, May is out of the question with school and work, so I'll likely pay close attention to the ticket trader forum.

Cheers.
