NYRB Aug 9->Jun 13 game change!
According to Paul Bierne's twitter:
That's the New York Red Bulls game. At home.Announcing a game start time change tomorrow. From august 9 to june 13.
Ok. That's more than start time... Sked conflict at Bmo field.
It's now going to be played Saturday June 13th.
If BMO is our house how does a scheduling conflict happen?
Thanks for the info sulfur.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I have a wedding to go to that day. I was so damn happy it didn't land on a home game. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.Originally Posted by sulfur
Maybe the fluffers have an appointment with BMO turf
Oh one other thing...great job scheduling this year guys...now 1 home game in July and 1 home game in August...2 home games ALL summer...fantastic planning and negotiation skills.
WHAT?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!
that was the only game i was gonna get to go to

It isn't easy to plan a schedule. I have no idea how much say TFC actually has in the making of it. I just find it weird that one of our home games is getting moved when TFC is the main tennant.
I wonder if the conflict involves our International Friendly
Well, that gives me less time to find a ticket.
Thanks for the heads up...and if anyone needs to get rid of their ticket (or two) due to the time change perhaps I can help you out.
Yeah, that would be my bet.
Bizarre - two New York home games in a row.
Oh well ... fills a hole in June ... though I think I have a prior commitment ... and fortunately no tickets ...
^*fingers crossed* gawd i hope so

On the TFC website this change is not showing...let us know when you have a credible source
Paul isn't a credible source? ummm..ok.
Looks like Guevara and Wynne could be missing that game now. U.S is playing in the Confederations Cup in South Africa (not sure if Wynne will get the call) and Honduras plays a WCQ June 10th. Three days is surely enough to get back, but that doesn't mean Cummins will play him.
As I was just saying to Giles on the phone... PaulB's pretty credible, and has let us know things like this in advance of the announcement.
My bet is that there'll be a presser tomorrow morning around 10am and an announcement of the move and why.
And if not a full presser, a posting on TFC news.
Well I suppose that Paul's account could have been hacked ... but the disappearance of the August 9th game from the TFC Ticket Exchange would tend to support this.
Bierne-gate? To mirror Rohan-gate?
wtf
thats really short notice
and so few games over the summer, may kill an already dwindling seat filling momentum
TFC associated twitters have been hacked!
At a glance at the schedule, it's the only weekend that both teams had free that I can see.
HAHAHAHA. It's Carver, Carver's the hacker.TFC associated twitters have been hacked!
Real Madrid
August 9th - DC United
August 11th - ???
Would Real Madrid really schedule a friendly on August 11th, with FIFA International friendlies scheduled for August 12th? I'd think several of their players would be called up ... though that wouldn't stop the punters given the lack of ticket available for the Galaxy game on June 6th.
I meant August 7th vs Real Madrid, my bad..
This is what Goff is saying today in his posts
From Goff today:
*Still awaiting word on TV coverage, though it appears United-Real will fill Telefutura's afternoon slot that had been scheduled to show the Toronto-New York league match. Madrid's first game on the MLS tour is expected to be two days earlier (Fri., Aug. 7). Because of the intense spotlight playing at giant FedEx Field in the nation's capital, Real seems more likely to use its best available lineup in the DCU encounter. However, as is the case with all friendlies involving Euro clubs in preseason, you never know who you are going to see and for how long.
Real Madrid will play a second friendly on its North American tour, and as we reported exclusively weeks ago, Toronto is the top candidate. Whether that other friendly is announced at the same time as the DCU game is unclear.
That would make sense. Though Blue Jays are at Skydome ... so it would be at BMO Field.
No fucking way... You can't just reschedule a posted regular season game!!! Don't they know how many people plan their summer around the schedule with work, weddings, holidays etc... ?!?!
There's no legit reason. Friendly game or whatever.
Please, everyone email your ticket rep. Let Paul B. know how you feel on Twitter. They can't do this.
no!!! i have to work!! hopefully i can get rid of my shift!!! bah!
uhhh sorry, but if this means Real Madrid is coming I'm good with it.
