let's keep things from the members area private, at least for now with this story.

Believe me, I'm excited too, but let's sit on it for a bit.

My seat relocation event is 1pm on a tuesday. It's been a week but I need to pull out a oldie this morning....Go fuck yourself MLSE. 1pm on a weekday....and then they say I cant get someone else to take my place? Like who? Screw you guys, as usual.

That's complete bullshit. They have the highest price in the league, and they expect you to miss a day of work so you can go pick your seats? C'mon...

But he'd be 36 by the time he got here . . . it would have to be another half-year DP thing.

Definitely a little old, but an old Del Piero will bring goals, as well as fans into the stadium. And I don't know about you guys, but even if he warmed the bench like Mista does, I would FOR SURE buy a shirt with his name on the back.

Not sure if Del P is MLS material... those italians are known to be primadonnas.

Haven't they always done it during the week? You may have not previously had a time slot during the day, but I'm pretty sure I have. This is not new.

I bet Del Piero prefers NY as his destination...

yeah, you can send someone else by proxy? which means someone else can go at 1pm on tuesday? I dont have uneducated children friends or pensioner friends...

I guess I lucked out in previous years to always get night appointments...but 1pm on tuesday...great work.

Also was talking to my dad....his time is noticably closer to mine this year, which shows ticket sales being lower. usually we were about 3 full days apart, this year, 5.5 hours. Neato.

Yeah, they mentioned that the Nicol rumor was broken by KJ at the Score, but I listened back at the Footy Show podcast and KJ mentions Paul Mariner has applied for the job, not Nicol. I also read that Nicol signed a 2 year extension in 2009 meaning he's currently under contract for the upcoming season (not that that really means much these days).

mariner applied? interesting. I presume when he worked with carver at plymouth he would have heard enough stories to scare him off. what's he apparently applying for , coach or gm?

Interesting, if anything those stories were because of Mo, now that hes gone...
How is Argyle doing these days?

The seats get updated right after each group completes their slot because the ones they gave up are now available for the next group. The only way to know what is available is to go and see. There is no other way since it changes so quickly.

Dunno. it wasn't clear (to me anyways) from the pod cast if he applied as a coach or Gm or both.

I wouldn't even trust the people here who did claim to know ;)

Although this group is a great resource, sometime it is just easier to pick up the phone and get the official answer. I know - I am guilty of it as well.

A couple of days old (didn't see it posted anywhere else that I could see though) and somewhat newsworthy is the signing of Jason de Vos as Technical Director at the Oakville Soccer Club :

http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=338886

Previous director resigned in the summer due to health problems I believe. Anyway, does this mean we will not hear/see him in the broadcast booth any longer ?..

You still have to be there because everyone in your group is given a ranking and you can be trumped by someone below you for the seats so you still have to be there to compete for those.

Now if you happen to be number 1 which means the very first season ticket holder then maybe you get special status....either way you should be calling your rep as JonO says. I don't think they will sway though but let us know if they do....

deltox
10-29-2010, 11:49 AM
ok....no not number 1.

im all the way down at number 7.

ok..ill call em later.

Is that meant as sarcasm, or do you not know anything at all about Del Piero?

Thoughts on the upcoming MLS Expansion Draft. I choose my hypothetical protected eleven and I point to the three players I think most likely to leave through this process.

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

I believe Dichio is technical director of some soccer team in Thornhill, but yet, he still has time for TFC. I am sure de Vos would still have time for TFC games.
