May 8 TFC Academy Game @ BMO Field
Does anyone have any plans of sticking around and supporting the academy? It's their first game at BMO this year I believe and I think it would be great to show some support for the kids.
Any interest? It would also be a great chance for people who don't have bunker seats to get together with the rest of the supporters in one section and work on our "major league" choreo without the game day pressure.
Thoughts?
I hope I can stay as I do really believe it is very important to support the academy players.
I'd be down for this for sure.
A few friends and I will be sticking around for sure, always enjoyed the reserve games of the past and looking forward to these too.
It will be especially enjoyable that Mr. Lombardo has signed with Portugal FC, fun to bring out the Andre Lombardo chant for old times sake.

how long between games?
Let's do this guys! I will commit to this if you guys do.
I will ask Red Rat to see if we can keep at least some of the drums there to give the kids some "atmosphere".
I'd like to see a couple of hundred of us stick around. I will ask Usector if they're interested as well.
^ an hour I would guess, KO around 7pm. I wondering if we can leave and come back.
I believe you can, I left after some of the first team games in the past and came back for the reserve matches, the first team game should be over just before 6 pm and the CSL game kickoff at mentioned above is 7 pm.Originally Posted by UltraSuperMegaMo
As many supporters as possible should stick around, lets show the TFC-A the support they deserve.

no point in leaving.. we could always congregate somewhere on the ground and have a few brews
wait they dont sell beer during these games correct ?
probably not.. but every time I leave the stadium after the game at the north exit, they are still serving beer at the big Carlsberg setup, and they are still selling hotdogs and poutine there too. So it might be possible to eat and drink up by the Food building before going back to watch the second match.
Leave after the TFC game ---> tailgate ---> back for the Academy game
^^ thats a winner right there!
Paul should consider keeping the North End concessions over a little longer for those who wish to stay. It would be nice to be able to have a beer after the TFC game while waiting for the Acadamy game. Maybe get something to eat as well.
I've stuck around for a few reserves games in the past, and remember it being a bit of a drag not having the option to restock the supplies.
After 90+ minutes of TFC, and then an hour to wait before sitting through another whole game, it seems a lot to ask for us to do it hungry and thirsty.
I'm pretty sure the East End concessions were ope during the reserve games, or at least the ones I stayed for.
I'll likely stick around.
the last time they did this...there was about a 30 min gap between games.
everyone has to move to sections 107 and 108.
I like Roogs idea a lot...would we take over a corner of 107 or 108?
Hmmm...I assumed 112 was where we'd choose to stay but since we have the run of the place, we could go anywhere I suppose!
I will PM Paul to see what choices we have to stick around and at least have a few frosty ones instead of leaving the grounds because let's be honest:
leave the grounds = lots of people won't come back
This is a great chance for us to work on songs and tweak things that need attention. I invite all RPBs and non-RPBs to join us!
I'd be interested in this, but i'll need to extend childcare to cover the extra game. Cannot access the TFC site from work any more - what time is the Academy game?
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
me and my friends are in for sure
all depends on how antsy the guys that have the keys to storage are for me to be there really.
Anything that needs to go to storage would have to go. The TFC game will likely end around 6 which means the Academy game will probably start at 7. On the weekends I believe storage closes at 8 so we would not be able to put stuff in.
I suggest we put the "big stuff" back. Red Thunder, banners etc. and keep the little stuff like my snare drum, Jack's tom etc. You know, stuff we can keep in our cars and garages. That way, we can still have drums but will have to do without the big stuff that has to has to be in storage.
I'd stick around for it
I will commit to sticking around for the Academy boys!
i thought so
well i think i'll shoot red rat a message, asking to hold one of the smaller drums as i want to take one to montreal a few days after
so hopefully we'll have a drum for em too.
may 8th the UFC fight in montreal.
I think there will close the south and west. So the north and east side will only be openHmmm...I assumed 112 was where we'd choose to stay but since we have the run of the place, we could go anywhere I suppose!

And if that is the case, Then we take over the North Stand and show what it would be like packed full of supporters!
Or maybe sing under the north stands so we can show TFC show great it would sound at BMO Field WITH A ROOF!
should be enough time to make an announcement or to email all the member to let them know.
I used to always stick around for the reserve games when they were on and it was fun plus there was no traffic on the way out later on. It will be weather dependent for me though because I probably won't want to stick around if it is raining hard plus my kids will be with me because of the escort day so I wouldn't make them sit in the rain either. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
even better....now we got a good reason to avoid the bars!!
