[mighty_torontofc_2008]

[DOMIN8R]

Or there is a televised game in the works and the shift is to accomodate existing programing constraints.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

[TFC-Tyler]

OMG the humanity!

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Not as bad as first thought, no 4 1/2hr stop over in Hamilton.

[rocker]

don't tell anybody .. then everyone will be in their seats for kickoff!

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

shit that damn 1/2 is going to make for a 4'1.2 hr wait in hamilton...thanks cbc.

[rocker]

of course now thousands more people across the country can see the game... consider it your sacrifice for the popularization of soccer in this country. ;)

[Eastend]

Original time was 3:00pm if I remember correctly. So 1 hour shift.

[rocker]

tell me about it....my escape from this city of the damned is going to TFC games,Rock games, concerts....but having to deal with the weak transportation inter city garbage (greyhound) is enough to drive on up the god damn wall.

Don't tell the sth in the email1

Fair point.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

anyone whoise been to the CHIN picnic in the past, is it worth it to stay behind a couple of hrs to take it in? thanks

What about us in the Atlantic time zone?:noidea:

Hopefully tape delayed.:)

[ilikemusic]

Pushing the games back from their originally scheduled kick off is always a good idea considering the notoriously late arriving crowds.

they will still arrive late no matter what the time....it's a TO thing!!

[giambac]

Kidding aside, your probaly right. Ticket sales have been going very slow. Lots of tickets are still available for the 2 CC games and the 2 International friendlies.

[zeelaw]

Wait 4pm on a tuesday... wtf

oh time chagne shit probably

[werewolf]

I remember the last game we had a few weeks ago that the time was pushed back, there were plenty of people lining up outside the gate, they must have not got the memo. There is still hope people will be in there seats.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

there are stagglers for regular time games, transit may be part of the blame but the rest of the blame must go to the people who just cant give a damn to get there a bit early.

[Cas87]

in HD? C'mon Paul, demand that your product be shown in the best possible format...High Definition!

THe game on Saturday was actually in HD. but then again CBC may not show the CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP in HD but show MLS games in HD

[nfitz]

Saturday game wasn't in HD. It was in SD. Widescreen yes, but same resolution they've been using since the 1950s.

[Cambridge_Red]

brantford? my god, I couldn't imagine having to live there!!!!

SHHHH keep him out of Cambridge :D

[TFC Cityboy]

always there hours before the match to get lubricated, me... :)
Matches that start on the half hour make it a nighmare to make the westbound trains, so top of the hour k/os are way better for us westbound crew.

[james]

only time thats a nightmare for me is weekday games at 7pm. 7:30 are much better....even 8 would be good.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

SHHHH keep him out of Cambridge :D


No problem its worse then brantford!!:taz:

[Benficachop20]

how do u guys print the tix?

[H Bomb]

^^ Too late for that dude. You would have to go into your account manager on the TFC website, then enter your security crap and then print them out following the instructions. But if you haven't done it yet you need to pick up yo tickets at will call

[olegunnar]

given mlsintoronto's comment about will call being a nightmare today, I'd suggest those that missed the June 29th deadline to print their tickets get there really early today.
