    Default Free Gravy Boats and a DP

    I was inspired by Jack and Trane.

    This petition is to push ML$E to give away free TFC-branded gravy boats at all remaining home games. Currently they are being cheapskates, and hence the amazing TFC fanbase have gone gravy boat-less. This isn't acceptable.

    Maybe if we had a wealthy football fan owning the team, instead of the oppressive pension fund Borg cube known as ML$E, we would have our TFC gravy boats by now.

    Also, I want a DP. Discuss.

    No to gravy boats -- Yes to DP!

    This won't truly be a RPB forum thread until someone comes in and verbally blasts you, and calls you a moron for being anti-gravy boat.

    I don't know how you can call yourselves supporters if you don't support the gravy boat cause. After three years of watching football at bmo field we deserve gravy boats. The RM match is going to raise more than $3 million for ML$E and all we're asking is for them to stop treating us like the leafs and give us our gb's already. Mo has spent months in Brazil where there is plenty of cheap labour - are you telling me he couldn't have brought back some gb's at $2-$3 each?

    You can sit around being leafs fans all you want, but until I get my gravy boat I'm only wearing KKKolumbus gear to the games, that will teach our front office that they can't treat us like crap any more. Oh ya, and the only song we're going to sing is going to be 'the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round''.

    Stop being f*ing pansies and supporter the cause. I'm sick of you casual fans calling yourselves supporters and just bending over and taking it from ML$E. This is the best thing for our team and will show our players that we really care about them.

    TORONTO TILL I DIE!! (or until I've waiting 3 years and still not received my GB).

    This is a stupid thread. You're all crazy if you think we're actually going to get a GB.

    Really! REALLY? A GB in only our third season? Get your heads checked.

    Talking Let's get shirts done

    The coaching staff promised us gravy boats. The players think we should have gravy boats. Heck even the City thinks we deserve GBs. Yet, MLSE give us the same answers....the gravy boats are coming, we are waiting for the right gravy boats, we're not responsible for the final decision on which gravy boat - it's up to the City.....yadda, yadda.

    I say stop making excuses. The MLSE BoD approved them already. Mo get 'er done!

    What no one seems to realize is how much more attractive our team will be to all those fairweather fans on the fence. Can you imagine how many more shirts they'll sell with a GB! C'mon MLSE splurge for a GB!

    I hear Philly's stadium is going to have a discount gravy boat stand. Now THAT'S how you treat supporters.

    Freakin' ridiculous!! Royal Doulton FC has been trying to unload one their GB's for some time now. MLSE has no intention of bringing in a GB. You heard it here first.

    look. I've had it with you numpty's. Yes the board approved a GB. The team has the ability to go get GBs any time we want. But there is simply no proof that GBs are the way to go to win in this league.

    There are a lot of things to consider: do you want used, aging GB... barely able to hold and distribute the gravy, just because it once spilled on the dinner table at Buckingham Palace? or do you want a younger, maybe south American GB, with a bit more spicy flair? Or do you want a Canadian GB...one who is influenced by all the gravies around the world?

    We're looking at it but we're not just going to jump in to the boat with our eyes closed.

    On you dinner meat would you prefer:

    (a) instant gravy (i.e. just add hot water to the powdered ingredients)

    or

    (b) gravy made from scratch by a chef that has been simmered for 24 hours and containing marinaded meat juices and various spices....


    I trust this put the thread in context for you!



    Would you like instant gravy
