What the fuck is up with that 1200pm game against Colorado in July??
It'll be interesting to see how the 4pm games are in regards to the sun. For east siders, it may be right in our eye for most of the game.
shhh ... that actually means I can make that game (selfish reasons aside, it is a weird start time)
I think we had one of those last year and it ended up being changed to a 3:00 game.
Shit. I miss Philly and Seattle because I wont be back from school by then. Ugh.
Whats up with the weekday games! F**k!! I can't take days off work errr. This will be the first year not going to Chicago. I guess I will be missing NY as well.Going to Boston, Phili, KC, Houston and maybe DC.
One, two, three, four
I declare A HOUSTON INVASION!!!!!
(That or a Seattle invasion but we did that last year...)
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
I think this year's sched is a lot better than last year. Last summer we had one game at home over a two month period at the end of the year. And I missed that game because I was in Florida. Definately a lot more balanced.
The World Cup 3rd place match is that same day at 2:30pm EST.
CBC probably wants to lead into that game with a TFC game.
For the most part I like this schedule. As it stands now, I'm only missing the SJ game in september, I'll be on a cruise ship somewhere between Haiti and Florida. Hopefully the friendlies, Mon/Van home games, and the Montreal away won't be a problem either.
I was hoping the DC away would be in June or early July, I was going to propose to my girlfriend in DC (not at the game) but I'll have to to it elsewhere earlier in the year. I'm still looking forward to going to that match.
I wanted to go to NY, Chicago and Philly, but I don't have enough vacation time for NY or Chi, and my 10-year high school reunion is the day of the game in Philly. I can't miss the reunion, I have to make a few people jealous.
I'm banking on CBC airing 9-10 games. They seem completely scared to travel outside of BMO and it has to be on a Saturday at 4:00 PM.
On TFC's site, the schedule lists the LA home game as being on Saturday, June 26, a correction from yesterday. The MLS site states that this game (and a host of others) is on Friday, June 25.
april 28 montreal @ toronto
may 5 montreal @ vancouver
may 12 toronto @ montreal
may 19 toronto @ vancouver
may 26 vancouver @ montreal
june 2 vancouver @ toronto
This years schedule (both reg. season and NCC) are so disappointing!
Seems like they got together and plotted to ruin any fun we might have hoped for.
how is it ruined?
yeah-potentially TFC could lift the V cup at BMO (as we have the last game of the championship at home)
I didn't say in all certain terms that the schedule has been ruined... I was sarcastically saying it seemed like some people got together and plotted to ruin our good times... as in making are preferred road trips more difficult.
There are several key dates that could have allowed for hundreds more of us to travel.
Which would have meant better ticket sales, and/or better atmosphere... better tv.
For a sport that is trying to grow on this continent, they really need to do a better job of boosting it's appeal.

5 games in 20 days in April. The fitness coaches will have their work cut out for them!
well, regarding the NCC (not the whole schedule), there really isn't anything else they could do. They need to get the NCC decided soon enough to allow CONCACAF to schedule the champions league play-ins.
MLS games are on saturdays every week. So mid-week is the only time for NCC games.
Regarding the rest of the schedule, I'm sure other teams have their own scheduling demands that conflict with TFC's.
All the teams in cities sort of near us come to Beemo on the weekend. I wonder if there was any lobbying on the part of other SGs to make that happen. I remember DC and NY fans feeling a little shafted over midweek visits to Toronto in the past.
I can't help but feel victimized by our coolness
Followed by 7 games in May including 3 flights to the west coast.
Atleast after the game in LA they can just fly up the coast to play in Vancouver.
Why not schedule TFC at LA and San Jose on consecutive weekends. Instead of forcing them come home in between.
Anybody notice Philly has 8 of its first 10 games on the road??? wow. I know their stadium doesn't open until June 27 but man, that's tough. They should have scheduled a few more games at Lincoln financial. That's a brutal start.
I hope to be making alot of games early in the season and the Wed @ New York is PERFECT with my work schedule not to mention ALL of the NCC matches. It looks like I'll be racking up the flyer miles (I want to go to NY, Van, Philly, and Mon this season). It looks to be a pretty good sched...if the players and MLS can agree on a CBA.
I dont understand why we continue to be the only team in the LEAGUE that continue to have day games!~....
90% of games in MLS are played at night!
Why not TFC>>>???
MLSINTORONTO?

I've always wondered the same.
Too rowdy?
Night games are tops.
Philly seems to have a lot of afternooners, too.
Hey GBV;
Management have seen our afternoon lotion sessions on game days and made a safety call!
The Masked Reformist!
Its because of CBC
^ figured as much ... but should it be?
my jury is still out on that one.
mmmmm lotions.
gotta get that TV audience up... in-stadium attendance is fine. so TV dictates what they think is the best time.
^ i understand the logic.
don't think a beautiful summer day at 4 p.m. sees many people dying to be in front of their television sets.
not that being on another channel and competing with hockey -- which runs later and later every year -- at night
would do them any favours either.
night would be better for my .02.
looks better on tv, too.
