Yikes maybe Canadian cities don't automatically "get it"
Sounds like UM02 is having trouble even with banners:

Security at Stade Saputo

No these are not the people, those were hockey fans.These are people who catch cities on fire for winning games!

if that is the case...
MLS should turn it's back on Montreal and award to Vancouver instead... Really that is disgraceful, and that could easily turn a hotbed into a Kansas City like team...
Wtf is with Saputo...
TFC was lucky that there were groups like us and Usector already formed who they could get feedback from. Before the first game, they had a good idea of what to expect.

Their forum (in French, mostly) is filled with issues with security.
In fact, one member's board name is (bilingually) "F*** le Secu."
Like the Barra Brava in DC, they choose to persevere despite the problems.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Not going to happen. The MLS would be crazy to say no to Gillette and Saputo because of 'security concerns' that will get fixed.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for the Montreal "ultras" they cause shit and act like fools then cry when security clamps down on them? what did they expect?
uh... that's their *job* :-)
You are talking like Montreal is in their first year expansion and the "Ultras" got together over some poutine on the weekend.
Montreal is not in the same boat as TFC was, these guys have been together for some time now. So whatever the issue is, sure is more than meets the eye.
Plus if any TFC group had a banner that said..."Mo Gotta Go!" i am sure security would take it down as well.
Those little dirt merchants deserve all the shit they get. They act like a bunch of retards and then complain that they aren't allowed to unfurl banners that have the word FUCK on them. We can't have those banners either and we are a real supporters group for a real team. I would shut that down faster than a Mount Royal Ultrette can say "Don't punch me I'm 15".
I thought when they were selling seasons tickets to their south end it said, 'we encouraga signing, standing, banging drums and banners in this section' what happened to all of that?
did the TFC away support have anything to do with it? maybe they didnt like that we were standing, the banners? flags?
^^ Or the pounding the shit out of their pathetic "supporters" group.
You beat me to it. I've been trying to get through this thread for 15 minutes now (@ work) and this is exactly what I was going to say.

Stade Saputo doesn't get it period. They had no idea what to do with TFC fans in Montreal.
Though I think this is the first time a Montrealer would not be able to accuse a Torontonian of being a tight-ass.
Predictable responses after their Canada Cup shenanigans.
yeah.. why all this sympathy for Montreal?
...I mean.. fuck 'em, right? They hate us, why should we care about what happens to them?
^ the only reason I would have any sort of sympathy for them, is because there will be a number of us that could be similarly oppressed for the national team games.
Animals Eaten:
pig, cow, lamb, moose, chicken, quail, kudu, ostrich, kangaroo, octopus, alligator, rabbit, shark, springbok, goat, bison, boar, caterpillars, turkey, fish, lobster, crab, oyster, prawn, antelope, camel, eel, squid
I see your point. But at that time, it's not a Montreal issue, it's a CSA issue
yea, but it will be the same staff working the national games. If someone pulls a baton on me for flying a flag or pulling a streamer, its going to get very ugly, very fast.

I don't get this: why is it wrong of having a banner of wanting your coach to be fired?
Maybe these Montreal kids should have a chant for their displeasure of their coach if they're not allowed to have banners.
All this is telling me that these Montreal kids aren't that dumb when comes to soccer. Their coach should get some blame for their recent struggles. And I would rather have Montreal in MLS than cities like Vancouver, St. Louis & Kansas City.
It's going to be hard for us to throw any streamers from section 114.
Q for the fucking T!
Liberti per gli ultras!
Even if their ultras are a bunch of punks, fuck the oppression of supporters.
I dont like MTL at all, but on this I got their back and other supporters should as well.
Sometimes it seems like we have a bunch of people who just want to ban people who break rules.
OMG OMG OMG BAN HIM!
Maybe I should jump ship, these guys seem more like supporters than most of ours. At least they don't want to ban their own people... like some of our "supporters" do.
I'm all for backing up our supporters. And I am NOT supporting the security at Stinky Cheese Stadium
...but LIMPact supporters can all rot in hell for all I care
i hate Impact......but i think you guys should beable to have banners. All team supporters should have banners and free speech!
i made a anti Argos banner. I put it up at BMO field and almost right as i put it up a security guard came over to me and said i had to take it down. I asked "why". He said stadium rules, but then he went and called BMO field management and the reason they wanted to take down the banner was because they thought it said "stay the fuck out" but once they realised it was just "stay out" they said i could keep the banner. I can understand why they dont like banners with searring, but when its just your opinion or team banners there is no reason why these supporters cant hang banners.
