side story:

there's a new guy working in the office, and he's a Brit.
I'm introduced to him, and someone says 'This is our resident TFC supporter'.
The new guy's been to a few games, and says he really enjoys it.

My older co worker says "Mike's part of some group... the uhhhh...?"
and the new guy says "The Red Patch?"

I tell him yes, and he has a good friendly chuckle. "Wow.... that's great!" he says.

Did he say how he knew about us?

truly great vid Parky!

[Ultra & Proud]

That is a very impressive banner! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

[Nodoubtguy]

The banner boys have really stepped it up this year......

[Inklink]

That's outstanding! Amazing! Keep it up!

[bdiddy]

Hey guys, how long did it take for you guys to make that banner... i'm thinking more than 6 minutes ?

[sulfur]

The gridding took King Dave about an hour on his own (I seem to recall him saying). The painting of the logos on either end was about 90-120mins. The roller down the middle? 30mins. The lettering on that a few days later? About two hours.

So, all told... maybe 5-6 hours of actual time.

[bdiddy]

Wow; that's pretty impresive.

Well done

[mikenfer]

I tip my hat to you. Fine work indeed!

[AL-MO]

'bout time!

I think that is a bit or a conservative estimate Sulfur! Although if you subtract drying time you are probably right!

Either way, this video gives everyone an idea of what goes into some of the banners that are displayed down at BMO. And this one is rather small

[Roogsy]

Probably one of the sexiest banners TFC supporters have ever made. I love it.

[grimm]

Was that really the King's place? Like holy shit! LOL!

[sulfur]

Judging by the number of people involved, I'd guess at (not including dry time of course) about 50-60 man hours were involved in that one.

But, in terms of the actual "real" hours of gridding and painting, we did that one impressively quickly.

[Parkdale]

Was that really the King's place? Like holy shit! LOL!

no, it's a loft space he rents and pretends to live in.
It's all for show.

[CretanBull]

thanks to everyone who helped make these banners,

Does she usually make King Dave stay outside?

[rocker]

just the thought of the work involved in that banner makes me tired.
i'd never have the patience to do that!

[mlsintoronto]

Wow. Just showed the kids with the sound off. Oopsie in the middle with the crew message! But very impressive. Dave with that Beauty grand piano I would have thought you'd be a better singer! I kid I kid.

[sulfur]

Just because he can play, doesn't mean that he can sing.

[London]

glad to be part of the making of it and nice pan out of me looking at the banner parky!!!

[king dave]

Classic! Your best work to date Mike.
Paul B. and Jimmy B. are douchebags.
KD.

[king dave]

Just because he can play, doesn't mean that he can sing.

Add 1 more to the douchelist.

[Phil]

Well done to all, I can confirm that Dave is a great singer.

There is a reason why we call him the king.
