It's all been covered in a few threads here but one things that stands out is when was the last time Anselmi talked about winning or building a successful product? Maybe that would go somewhere with fans ... or at least as someone noted a Grunwald appearance.

That was actually a very well-written article. I think that may have been the first time I've read Red Nation, and now I kinda feel bad for not visiting it earlier.

For years my morning ritual has been to come here and read all of the posted links as I ease my way out of bed and prepare for the day. Today I read the first one, and suddenly didn't care about the rest. Fuck MLSE.

I think the supporters' resolve will be tested. I can't understand that in the middle of a recession, and the inferior slop they feed us, they expect us to fork over more money. Tom, you are a RIGHT CUNT!!!

Emailed mine and have not heard back. Don't expect to either. I figure calling would be just as futile. I doubt we would get anyone other than a manager level person on the phone.

My rep calls me back after every correspondance.
He's actually a really good and nice guy.
I feel kind of bad, that he's the one facing my rage, angry emails, and phonecalls.

I know he's not the decision maker.

does anyone know if MLSE tracks incoming correspondace?
do we know if they can see some sort of metric that says...Sept 21, 22, have seen a 300% spike in calls....99% of which are angy. 95% of them are angry about MLS Cup or Ticket prices.

We should all be hammering on repealling the MLS Cup tix policy.
it's a simple fix.

I thought I'd be less angry today after sleeping on it. Didn't happen.

The decision makers are hiding up in their ivory towers counting their gold coins refusing to acknowledge the increasingly angrier mob down below.

Even Leafs fans have had their limit:

http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/mapleleafs/article/864591--leafs-lack-punch-and-hear-boos-in-too-familiar-debut


Those fans ended up mixing a substantial amount of boos with their Coke as a ragtag Leafs lineup dropped a 5-0 stinker to an Ottawa Senators team composed largely of scrubs.
“We know we’ve got lots of work to do,” said defenceman Dion Phaneuf

MLSE may have the masses assemble with torches at their castle doors.

To me it goes beyond that. While being forced to buy an unwanted ticket is repulsive, I'm more offended by four years of crap being met with four years of price increases. It's not that a $1 a game is a massive load that our wallets can't bear, its four years of unyeilding gouging in the face of four years of abject failure. This is how they treat us when they're at a all time low...how will things be if they ever get their shit together and start winning? What are prices going to be like after four years of entertaining, quality football?

If our front office put as much effort into building a successfull team as they do into screwing us, we'd be MLS champs four years running.

I'm waiting for them to start charging for the toilet paper in the washrooms..."They're desperate, they'll pay!!".

I'm fed up with the culture of greed, entitlement and arrogance that permeates MLSE's franchises.

I could care less about $1 a game. I couldn't care more about feeling abused and disrespected.

Not to mention the fact that they use the supporters and the atmosphere they bring to sell their crummy product. And how do they thank those supporters...

Possibly the biggest issue I have with the whole matter. They've even put us on the ticket renewal page to sell their product because Lord knows the team can't do it by themselves.

They have been doing this since day one.

It's pathetic.

But you know what. It's really the organized supporters groups fault for trading their values for club access. They started to believe their own hype.

That's really pathetic ..
