No pictures yet. I have picked up the new banner and am trying to get it into BMO. I am hoping to be able to bring it out on the 23rd against New England for the anthems.

Any chance of a roll call for the Aug 23rd game in Section 110? I will need some help getting it to the top row and setting it up for unveiling.

Thanks to everyone who donated for this beauty. roughly 39 feet wide and 30 feet tall. I have not unrolled it yet but she must weigh a good 35 pounds or so. I can't wait to see it!

Special thanks to Fernandinho & Torcida_Toronto for all their work on the design. We still have some work to do to get the 110 crest on it but it is a good work in progress.

Cheers

110 is the new 111!. Lets keep spreading the support on the east side. I'm new to the board, but a half season holder in 110, Row11. Wish I could be at this game to help you guys out...but no tix. Can't wait to see it!

Skint, are you still considering bringing this in for the Jamaica game because that would be sweet..

I'll be there for the NE game so I'll definitely try to help out as much as possible. Just let me know any sort of meeting place or time and i'll do my best.

To answer a few questions. The banner does not say anything yet. It is a work in progress. If things go well I hope to get it in lower 110 on other games, preferably when the Nomads are there. If you are in 110 please show up 15 minutes prior to the anthems so we can figure this baby out. No words so at least we can't get it upside down yet :)

Of course if no one at BMO gets back in touch with me I will need help smuggling a large friggin banner in, but I'm sure you guys are up to the task!

I really thought about it, but that would mean the 110 banner coming out for the 1st time with the Voyageurs. Any other time I could have pushed harder for it, but 1st times special - 110 only.

I didn't hear anything about a banner at all. I think that's awesome, but I guess it won't migrate down to the lower seats?

I'm Section 110, Row 10. Are you closer to 111 or 109? Our side of the row (between the aisle and the tunnel) is all people who work(ed) together, and we've enjoyed quite a good relationship with the folks around us. We get loud and crazy and even the family with kids in front of us understand that, here, you hear "grown up language". It's a great place to be!

I have to say, I miss the huge south end banners migrating around the stadium. Maybe it's a bit silly of me, but I always got a huge kick out of seeing them end up rolling along toward the north end. Only once do I recall it coming over our heads on the east side.

Keep me posted, bringing the gf to the game and she'll be under this thing.

Basically I want the banner to be for all of 110 as 110 raised the money. I really don't want to have it get on anyone's nerves so the plan is to move it around 110 for different games. I hope to bring it out about 4 times a season. That way if we move it around upper & lower 110 no one should miss anything more than the anthems twice a year, maybe only once a year depending on where your seats are. I think the real key here is to have 4 dedicated people for each corner of the banner. As long as the corners are held tight there should be no problem getting enough people underneath it to make it dance.:)

Any word on this? I'll be in my normal seats ("...in box five, which will be kept empty for me..." -- Phantom of the Opera? Forget it... ;)) in S110/R10 (closer to 109).

I'm assuming you plan to unfurl it *after* the anthems? I would think it to be inappropriate during the anthems.

If it's out, and it reaches down to us, our row will be flapping like mad!

Unrelated question: What happened to the massive TFC banner from last year? You know, the one that we all passed around the south end?

Count the bunch in row 21-22 near 109 in too! Didn't see the original post asking for donations, but I'm in if you still need them.

In future it will go out after the anthems. Tonight it went out for Canada because.... well just because I could'nt wait to see the damn thing :)

That's why I didn't see it! I remember thinking after the anthems, "Oh, I wonder if the banner's out." I turned around, and it wasn't. There may also have been a bit of a time delay in my head due to a drink or two consumed prior. ;) I'm hoping someone will be posting photos (and if they do, they post it somewhere I'm looking! :)).

I didn't make the game on time for the anthems but I'm glad it got out though. Any pictures?

Too bad you missed it. I hope to bring it out one more time this year (maybe Columbus). It looked great from what I could see. Picked up another $40 to help pay for it by people who were happy to finally see it.

It was pretty easy to bring in when it was neatly folded by the stitcher but man I don't know how I will manage this monster now it is a heaped up mess in a bag :)

Anyone get a picture of the 110 banner?

Thanks for the thought :) Oh well I guess the 30 x 40 banner managed to elude every camera in BMO. If I can get it out for Columbus I am now officially begging someone to snap a photo :cool:

Same thing happend to me! I saw you guys bring it in, but forgot to turn around during the anthem!

Anyhow, great job, Skint. Thanks for getting our section a banner!

I seem to have noticed a flag pole disappear from the top of 110. Something tells me I don't want to know what happened :)
