Well that's good about them donating to those charities.
As for the party itself, I hardly think that you'll see the team go bankrupt from fronting the costs for an annual party held at a small restaurant. They won't even notice it on the ledger. It just doesn't seem right to have this event for the fans and still charge them quite a bit of money to attend. Parties like what Shoeless Joe has thrown for us is much more appreciative of our business as customers. Joe knows as an owner that if he runs the place well and treats his customers well, they will keep coming back. It's unfortunate that TFC thinks the opposite, that the fans will buy no matter what.
And no, I won't be attending, not unless MoJo invites me personally.
But enough of my thread-hijacking. I hope the party is fun for those that do go.
I am all for this. If people are attending with the intention of letting the team know, face to face, how much the supporters expect from them, fine. That's awesome.
I just don't see how that message gets conveyed over drinks and games of foosball.
Again. For those attending, have a good time. It's not you I'm upset at. It's the club.
The club that horribly under performs all year and then throws a party at the end of it.
Parkdale...as for the NCC win...meh. Had we beaten PRI I would have been much more content with the trophy.
In the end we BARELY beat out two teams. One of which laid down for us. Then we went on to get completely schooled (literally) by the Puerto Rico Fucking Islanders.
Winning the NCC this year to me meant having the opportunity to play in the CCL. To face Mexican league giants and see the Reds get some great experience and some great exposure. In the end we fell flat.
Sorry for the off topic/hijacking rant. I won't post anymore in here.
Again...for those attending..have a good time, sincerely.

I like this post.
I think the players on this team need to know that this isn't Columbus where the team goes on the pitch, entertains the kids for 90 minutes then go home without anyone really caring about what happened on the field.
We really are the 12th man. They were not the only ones who feel shitty about how badly the team fucked up out there this year. We feel just as bad, but like in war time (metaphorically speaking of course), we are all in this together. We win, loose and party together. They can;'t get away from us. not like in Columbus where if they loose 5-0 they can come back next week and not a single person in the crowd would've known what happened the week before.
Celebrate the 2009 season with your favorite footballers!
Could of advertised it in slightly differnt way i guess......
BUt did have a great time the first year.....not to sure why they didnt have one last season.......
I'll pass this season though.....Not in the celebrating mood i guess!
I was 100% sure that was going to be your reply.
'where I sit'?
I don't sit anywhere.

do not know if I want to wast my money going to this party
Is it worth $50 to meet TFC players?
These guys should be paying us $50 each.
They tanked.
We know it.
They know it.
The FO knows it.
The media knows it.
MLS knows it.

I'm not personally interested in parting with the money for this event. Partly because it's a school night, largely because I'm a stingy bastard.
But it's an individual decision isn't it? If you're going, have a great time (and ask one or two of the players where they get off letting New York beat them 5-0).
Holy shit...even if the club did decide to provide this for free, people on here would still find something to bitch about. They are trying to do something nice for the supporters. I believe this thread was started to give people a heads up that it was going on, not to rip on TFC, the players, Mo, etc. All we need is a FIRE CUMMINS (even though he is gone), and it'll be consistant with every other thread. If I started a thread called Pink Elephants I think the first post would say "It's Mo's fault the elephant is pink." The second post would say "MLSE is trying to get us to buy the pink Elephant." End rant.
Now then, I will be going, it's on my birthday, hopefully some of you will be there and we can drink pints together! Koryo, fuck school mate....let's drink to Johnny Howson and Leeds stunning vivtory in the League Cup!!!
Btw... Fire Cummins!
Happy Tim?
