I voted 7:30pm but really I perfer the matches to start on any half hour so you don't have to decide, Do I leave early to catch the GO train or Stay 50mins after the game and catch the next GO train?

I generally prefer the evening games.
7:30 is good... except on weekdays...

That said, I wouldn't want TFC going up against NHL playoffs on a Saturday night.

Shouldn't one of the options be 4PM ?

I don't mind 3PM or 4PM starts. I'd just like to see a couple more Saturday evening games during July & August. With the odd evening game in the summer BMO really does have a different atmosphere.

Agreed Suds.

Where's the 4pm option...?

I like 4pm games...

I also like night games sometimes - but not all the time...

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE...

Sitting in 109, with the sun right in my face, it gets a litle hot in the summer. Night games in July and August are definitely better for my skin!

Thats me exactly...

4pm most of the time... 7pm for those "special nights" at BMO...

^ I like the variety. I'll take the warm, sunny games when we can get them though.

agreed - games on the half hour for me.

Right now spring and early summer I like the 1pm games, but late summer evening games at 7pm would be great.

Daytime for me is preferred. The light my LCD gives me during our long winter is not enough. I'm borderline clinically depressed by spring so I want as much sun as possible. :D The odd night game is also welcomed however. Variety is good.

Call me crazy, but I prefer my TFC matches to start at the time that's printed on my tickets.

I agree, start on the 1/2 hour would be awesome...like in year 1.

Obviously a bunch of ghey people voting in this poll & not agreeing with my personal opinion... ;) (3 or 4pm, 7:30 pm in the summer)

Why is there no option for 10:30pm start? I would like to go right home to bed after the match.

if they could start about 20 minutes late I'd be really greatful!

I seem to be having a hard time making it there on time recently.

Afternoon games = awesome. Beer + warm sunshine...

Actually, if tv has taught me anything, its that a beer, a coffee and a 7:30am kick off are awesome too. Can we have some breakfast games please?

i dig the 3 or 4 pm starts...
i can sleep in and do errands/groceries laundry...still make the tailgate.
game ends at 5 or 6pm...i can keep the TFC party rolling into the night....
or i can mix it up.
the 3 or 4pm timeslot is superior.

but as Carts said, I like a little variety...a couple of night games.
I can't say I like the noon and 1pm starts.

Saturday afternoon around 1 or 2 in spring and fall.

In the summer I'd love to get some Friday or Saturday evening games to avoid the heat of the day and add a little night time atmosphere.

So far looks that the overwhelming majority would like in July & August evening games.

After the referee blows his whistle on a Tuesday night at 7.30, please.

the last game of this month tfc is going on at the same time as UFC... just guess who is going to lose viewers. But for weekend games 3 or 4pm on weekdays 7- 730pm is good

8:00pm during the week and 1:30pm on weekends.

4PM or later on the weekend. 7:30 or later during the week. anything different is a royal pain for an out of towner.

I would prefer games in april, october to be 3 or 4 pm. May, june, july, august and september night games. The atmosphere (the crowd seems to be louder and in a more enthusiastic mood) for night games is much better, it seems much more of an adult crowd, in general there isn't as much wind at night either.

I prefer night games myself... you can get together with everyone after and make a night of it... starting drinking before afternoon games is deathly for me :P

However, when it's cold out (March, April/Oct, Nov), it's nice when they're during the day because it's not as cold!

The later the better for me. I hate saturday games at 1, seems like such a pain to get up like 10:30 just to get on a GO train and get to BMO.

LOVE THE NIGHT GAMES!! I work as a resturant manager and my shift ends at 4 pm if I am the opening manager. This way I would be able to get out to more games instead of just watching it at my bar.

7 or 7:30 in high summer, 3pm the rest of the time.

see it's all relative.

I love 1:00pm games because you can still have an evening after.
Or with 7:00pm games you still have a day before the match.

I find that a 3 or 4 pm start will eat up the entire day, when it really doesn't need to.

All games should start 15 minutes after I arrive.

Parkdale

now that would be different. scrambled eggs and hot coffee flying in the air when TFC scores?

How about a new option?

On time, without tape delay of Rogers Sportsnet?

1pm is to early dont like it. I still hungover at that time. 4 is good, and i would like to see some more 7:30 saturday games in the summer. The few night games we have had on a saturday in TFC history tend to be more energy charged, more of a party atmosphere and its louder.
