GAME DAY :scarf::flare::hump:

[lips]

Game day!!!!!!!!!

[Greatest Ripoff]

There is a 2000 word piece on Defoe living and playing in Toronto in today's Daily Mail. I'll see if I can grab a copy and post photos of it.

[CoachGT]

For those who have renewed their membership, and for new members who have joined, there is a draw at Shoeless Joes today for a signed DeRo jersey, and for a 2014 Defoe jersey (unsigned)!

There will be a membership table at Joes!

[Pookie]

That ticket article is funny, claiming tickets sold out days ago.

"The opener sold out days ago, marking a 150 per cent increase in ticket sales over last year’s home opener"

The thing is, it's not sold out. I can buy a pair today from ticketmaster (Section 105, 222 all the way to 123) as I have been able to do every day this week. Is fact checking a thing of the past and if the FO claims scarcity, they simply accept it as true?

The cheap seats might be all gone but come on.

In any event should be a great time for those that go.

[Abou Sky]

For those who have renewed their membership, and for new members who have joined, there is a draw at Shoeless Joes today for a signed DeRo jersey, and for a 2014 Defoe jersey (unsigned)!

There will be a membership table at Joes!

Is it only for members there or for all members?

At what time Coach? I am getting there around 2pm I think.

[CoachGT]

Is it only for members there or for all members?

For ALL members - I have everyone's board name on a ticket. If the name is drawn, that person gets it! Whether they are there or not.

[CoachGT]

At what time Coach? I am getting there around 2pm I think.

Time TBD. It will happen no earlier than 3.

[Mark in Ottawa]

That cheering you will be hearing is the distance will be me watching here in Ottawa if I can find a stream.
Is there a chance that the game could be called off due to bad pitch conditions??
I do not know what constitutes grounds for a game to be postponed apart from lightening storms.
