Is this event free... and can anyone attend?

Eastend
04-11-2010, 05:06 PM
It is free, it is by the HMV where they always have these types of events. I guess we could always ask the players WHY Garcia is still here? No?

it could degenerate into chaos as my feeling is that we have had enough of the BS being fed to us by the club and there is accountability to be had.
Bet Johnston and Garcia are noticable by their absences.

When it comes to TFC at work, we're about the only ones who give a shit, so we tend to stick together. Although thinking about it, I think he might be on a client secondment on Tuesdays. Oh man - that sucks for him, TFC come to the doorstep and he's not even home! Hahaha. :D

Lol. Its almost like they are taunting the fans by having this event.
They should have a asterisk attached to it

*The players at this event are the playing for TFC as of April 13. MLSE cannot guarantee that these players will be members of TFC at any time after this event. Thanks for coming!

rode the elevator yesterday with a few of them. they weren't the slightest bit interested in meeting the fans. that morning saw preki in the lobby. had no interest in meeting the fans either. almost like they would have preferred we not be there.

I don't know if that's true. I have met quite a few players and they all seemed alright with meeting fans. Especially Chad Barrett he was one of the coolest ones. How do I get to this place?

Really? Anyone I bumped into seemed to at least smile and carry on a conversation, and anyone I spoke to said the same thing about the players AND Preki.

What the hell does an hmv meet and greet have to do with supporting a football club? Go, have fun, I might even see you there. But this isnt supporting football. Its nothing. So in closing, was your comment an awesomely cynical joke or have you lost it completely?

Red CB Toronto
04-12-2010, 05:27 PM
I will a great time to welcome Maxim Unasov and Adrian Cann to town, some of my comments might have been made with a bit of a smirk behind them, we will see.

I am just excited for Thursday regardless of how the last two games have gone. Maybe other than my views will change.

Why the hell do they make this event in the middle of a tuesday afternoon? so many people that would want to go now wont be able... including myself... because of school... and people that are working.. they couldnt have made it during the evening ?? is there any other even like this during the season? because i would love to attend

I would suggest that these events are being used more to cater to the corporate crowd that will be out during lunch time, but that does not stop us from enjoying it, we can show everyone what the Reds are all about.

It is only a few hours away to when the Reds come marching into First Canadian Place, hope to see as many of you there as possilble.

Either way, have a great day.

I'm not. That would require some sort of understanding of a link between the sporting side of the business and the PR/corporate side of the business.
I'm sure the players don't really want to do this and would probably rather be training for Thursday (hopefully).

The press side of things, a few speeches from both the BMO and MLSE side of things starts at 12:30, the Reds starts meeting the fans/supporters at 12:50 pm.

cblake what is this insider info you speak of... what time will this finish?

Red CB Toronto
04-13-2010, 08:58 AM
I am not really sure what time it finishes, I guess with 24 members of the Reds there, it could go on for an hour or so, maybe more depending on the size of the crowd. Last year when it was just DeRo and John Carver it went for abou that long.

I'm across the street so I'll be there. Don't want them signing my suit so I'm ducking down to Centre Sports to pick up a scarf or one of the white jerseys for autographing purposes.

Hope Nick G doesn't show up.

EDIT: Just talked to a buddy at BMO -- Nick G's coming. :(
