Backwards at BMO
I echo Gareth Wheeler's sentiments: The Toronto Sun writer went after the decision makers recently over the continuing problem of community use on the new pitch at our National Stadium. It really is a disgrace; you and I could rent the place out for a total of 12 hours a week. Plus, there's the Benfica-Panathanaikos friendly on the weekend. But Toronto FC can't get on there. Not that they actually want to more than once a week, they just want everyone off. There's no way a brand new pitch can handle this amount of traffic.
Disgraceful.
And how about this for a case in point: Some of the TFC players and coaches who go for a run at BMO are asked to please stay outside the white lines and the corner flags.In other words, be sure to preserve the pitch for Joe and his buddies. That has to change. Start hammering away at your local, provincial and federal politicians. The more we all yell, the more they're likely to listen. After all, there is a civic election this fall.
ok who were theySome individuals have expressed anger and disbelief that there would be delegates at the AGM who would vote against this reform. There have been calls to name those delegates and the provinces that they represent.
Ummm how many members do we have now?
Can the executive team spearhead a petition, or letter, or post the MP information so we can call, or plan some sort of demonstration, or some other sort of acttion to get some "squeak" to thi s issue?
Sqeaky wheels get the grease.. . . .
AMaybe we can HAMMEr Miller next time he is joes, so he can help change the rules at BMO before he exits?

mornin d
happy that jdg is going to rest and heal for his team rather than risk hurting himself more to play for canada --priorities are starting to go the right way due to preki
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
glad to see jdg stay and rest, but jdg has got to feel gutted. facing a world cup favourite right before the world cup is a thrill for any player and a good game sure would have raised his profile globally.
Guy is not feeling 100%.
Not much to do with Preki.
If the training staff won't realease him to play because of an injury, there is little anyone on the National Team can do about it. Don't think Preki factors into this at all.

That's a fantastic idea that the media would have a fucking field day (pardon the pun) with.
That would be amazing
I would gladly donate to the TFC Grass Practice fund...Two hours of pitch use and one hour of light use (only in the second hourThat's great idea !! Book BMO and let Preki know if they want to practice on Natural Grass just contact RPB.
anyone else?

Or book it an leave it unused... That would be a message! Could get the supporters groups standing around the edge of the pitch in respect
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
so for June, July, August, you just need to raise approx. $36000 and you could buy all 12 hours every week.
I gotta say I don't mind today's SSG even though I don't think she's 25.
She reminds me of some 80s actress... just can't pinpoint it.
At second glance, she could be 25.
That actually would be a great idea!! Buy 1 hour of time, all supporter's groups could be involved, have a protest during that hour invite the media, voice our concerns.Or book it an leave it unused... That would be a message! Could get the supporters groups standing around the edge of the pitch in respect
There would be rec beer leagues busting a nut about the wasted time!!
im in.
rent it, show up early, and stand at the entrance a little too long afterwards aswell
can anyone list the necessary contacts for the GTA regarding the MPs and City councilors that we need to harass?
Its a municipal issue, so no need to harass MPs or MPPs. Contact your local city councilor by Googleing Toronto Ward Map and click on the first link.
A little media pressure would be a great idea!
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I would donate a couple of bucks for the cause.
HAHA... Rent out BMO.....and play the game in the parking lot?!.....Im sure Gareth Wheeler would be on board!!
Lets do it! I would totally chip in to rent the field and not use it!!!
