Home opener 2016 - March to the Match

[ChrisFizik]

It's almost here folks. All roads lead to BMO on Saturday evening. March there with supporters!

Reconnect and get hyped with old and new friends at Joe's and then head to the streets where we'll join other SGs along the way warming up our vocal chords and making our long awaited arrival back at home again!

Get involved - spread the word to one and all to join in.

1189 King St West. All roads ppl.

As always I've put the word out for kings on the march but with so many members missing idk what the numbers will be like from us for it.

[anto7]

I love that the march begins at 6:16........now that's military precision :canada:

[SarniaTFC]

How many fans are you predicting for the march? Travelling from Sarnia for the game, can't wait for Saturday to get back in amongst the fans, been a long time coming!!

[sn0re]

I'm pretty sure that TFC planned a march starting at Brazen Head to BMO. Not sure what time the thing starts though..

[noimpactinmtl]

I'm pretty sure that TFC planned a march starting at Brazen Head to BMO. Not sure what time the thing starts though..

According to the email


The march begins at 6:30PM from Brazen Head! Make sure you join Shari & Dwayne De Rosario before hand for the pre-match party.

[mistercorporate]

Never understood why TFC head office and the various supporters groups have separate marches...how epic would it be to have one huge march each game! Now that would get noticed, no other teams in Ontario do supporters marches!

[Pint]

Because SG don't want marching bands and cheerleader on top of the hassle of working with the FO on a March.

They are essentially a group of people walking to the game.

Remember the Bez and Budweiser Band that lead one two falls ago? Fucking #puke. Killed any urge to ever go in a march again. N

[sn0re]

Its the Shoeless Joe's on Dufferin and King that the march will take place right? (I'm sorta new to this.. :facepalm:)

[SarniaTFC]

I've heard there's a march from Shoeless Joe's but the main one is from Brazen Head. They have a parking lot party followed by the march to BMO at 6:30. DeRo will be there aswell

To us the main march is from joes...

[Justin10000]

The march from Brazen Head is a corporate march.

[Pint]

Yep it is essentially herding people from 1 bud sponsored event to another, if you want an actual march atmosphere then the one from Joes is the way to go.

They've offered and even marched with us before, we've declined for home openers.

Have you marched in both? There is an obvious distinction in participation between the 2.

[Justin10000]

I may wrong, but won't all the supporters groups be meeting up and marching to BMO together?

[Fort York Redcoat]

SGs are meeting along the way, yes. We have our time and corporate has theirs.

[mistercorporate]

Cool, makes sense now, never been to the corporate march, just thought of it as more bodies and voices but I hear you guys about authenticity. As long as all the supporters march together it's all good.

I can guarantee, marching with the SG's is more fun and a better experience.

[Cambassador]

Anyone finding the irony in "mistercorporate" not seeing the difference between a SG march to from a corporate sponsored march?

It must be a conspiracy! ;)

Oh I had no idea about the corporate one, will defiantly be at the Joe's one then

What does everybody usually do after the game?

What does everybody usually do after the game?

Most go back to the pub, RPB are at Joes and other groups go back to various bars. A number of good spots in the area depending on weather and what you are looking for, the one place I would avoid is brazen head as the staff always seam to be shocked that tfc fans want beer and food in a timely manner both before and after the game.

[SarniaTFC]

Where is the best pub for post match atmosphere?

[Pint]

Where is the best pub for post match atmosphere?

Would be really tough to say as I imagine most have their spot and haven't experienced most of the potential spots. If you like Joes pregame it's pretty similar post game from my few experiences, if not then you have a couple other supporter spots (Joker, Locus144) or any of the other bars in the area should be filled with TFC fans.

[eustacchio]

People actually go to the corporate marches? I honestly always thought those people were being paid/sponsors

Here we go, here we go, here we go ... Come On Your Reds !!!

Where can we get our hands on some of those flags again?? :D

[Fort York Redcoat]

There will be a very limited number of flags brought to Joe's Sat. But they will be there.


Last year we all of those leftover from years past brought to Joe's from storage. We don't have access this year. Or many of those flags left.

[Suds]

Nailed it!

Maybe another order of flags? And did we lose out storage at BMO ? Temp or permanently

I'm sure there will be another order but they won't be ready for us in 2 days. Storage like everything else is changing with the refurbish.

[German21]

So inside sources have sent me pictures of a pile of banners and whatnot. Our shit is there (so it seems), I'm sure it will be a bit chaotic. Let's see how the banner painting goes but I have some employees that are onsite at BMO all day to make sure the work we did works. They may be able to help me get some stuff out. No promises, just hopes

Do we not have storage at BMO anymore?

[ChrisFizik]

at ease

arrangements being...arranged. We'll be bringing out those beloved flags to get our march on proper RPB style :) Will let you know if we need some hands early!

[Fort York Redcoat]

Ugh. Sorry to scare anyone.

It was the word for months now that we wouldn't have pre game access. Now we do. Carry on...

thanks to all interested in helping out. Any access is purported to be WELL before the match. Stay tuned. To Fizik^ g:D

[SarniaTFC]

Can't wait for tomorrow! Just in from the bars here in Sarnia! Quick few hours sleep before heading towards Toronto for an incredible day with the best fans in the league! See everyone at Joe's later on today! COYR
