Press Release

Toronto FC announced Wednesday that their Nutrilite Canadian Championship match against the Montreal Impact in Montreal has now been moved to Thursday June 18 with an 8:00p.m. ET kickoff. The change was made so that Rogers Sportsnet was able to broadcast the final match of the Nutrilite Canadian Championships.

The game was originally scheduled for Wednesday June 17.

Toronto FC will play their first match of the tournament on Wednesday, May 6 at BMO Field against the Vancouver Whitecaps with an 8:00p.m. ET kickoff.

I am glad that they are accomodating to TV broadcast.

I will probably be in Montreal and stay for the weekend.

[Mojo]

Nooooooooooooooooooo I work Thursday nights... guess I'm using a sick day.

[Sab0tage]

Already posted in the news section. Funny, TFC has yet to report this. I'll wait to see if they actually do.

Why would they not be able to? please do not tell me that an early season Blue Jays game was going to take precidence over the determining of the Canadian representative for the Champions' League

OOPS...sorry!

[Sab0tage]

Must...plan...trip

I've already begun. Not sure if I should wait for ticket details before booking my hotel or just book it then wait for the tickets.

[Wagner]

this is great news!!!
instead of a mid week game...it's a little easier to swing thurs Friday!!!
woo hoo.

[T_Mizz]

Is this because wednesday was a Blue Jays regular season game? that's a sad statement about soccer in Canada but I guess its a positive that they changed although the best sign for canadian soccer would be them saying fuck it put the soccer game on instead

[drewski]

oh for the love of fuck.

i was stretching it stayin on montreal till the 17th. don't know if i can stay an extra day

The press release I posted in news was just that...a press release from the club.

So yes, they have reported this, even if it's not on their official website.

[Wagner]

can these threads be merged??

They own the Blue Jays...it's in their interest to promote the Jays over TFC.

Be glad they're broadcasting it at all, and be glad both clubs were willing to make the schedule change in order to accommodate their broadcast.

[gmacpheetfc]

wheres the official away trip thread?

[Sab0tage]

wheres the official away trip thread?

Not up yet.

[yellowfellow]

Just be glad that they are accommodating. They could just broadcast tape delay for the TFC game.

Yup!

[DOMIN8R]

Booked. $236 return with Porter

[Torcida]

Shit...hopefully I don't have to go to work.

[Red CB Toronto]

Is their going to be a supporters bus for the game like last year?

[Torcida]

^ Probably..

[devioustrevor]

Oooh. Decisions, decisions. I have yet to see TFC play in person, and my boss just this week (yesterday in fact) said that since work will probably be slower than normal this summer he doesn't mind if we take some time off this year. Because of where I live I'd have to stay overnight in either Toronto or Montreal.

I'm seriously considering this. I'll probably decide by the end of the month.

I just checked the VIA site, and I can leave from London on the 18th at 7:59 AM and arrive in Montreal (Central Station) at 5:09 PM. That would leave almost 3 hours to get to Saputo Stadium. It would leave Montreal (Central Station) on the Friday at 11:45 AM. $369.60 round trip. May be too good to pass up. Figure $30 for a ticket and $120 for a room at it would be about $530 for the trip. I am greatly intrigued.

[Carter]

fack, i already booked the time off work.... damn it.

[devioustrevor]

A bus leaving from Toronto may be even better. What time would such a bus leave?

[Bluenose13]

12:00....I would think.

[Carter]

12:00....I would think.

Hows porter coming?

[T0R0NT0 FC]

train from toronto is 145$ round trip from toronto to montreal.

[devioustrevor]

12:00....I would think.

Same day return I suppose?

I think I may just take the train to Toronto and catch the bus.
