Such a restrictive list, I've often felt we need more cowbell...

dude.... we could totally string up some nasty pennant flags!!!

but watch some WWII vet come over after the game and kick the crap out of us for saying 'you're a cuuunnnntt' with flags!

**Yeoman** · 02-25-2010, 10:04 AM

lol yeah exactly!
we need more pirate flags in the south end
but no one would understand what they meant either though

**Parkdale** · 02-25-2010, 10:08 AM

I've actually been thinking about a TFC / RPB pennant. Like a real flag style one.

**BritSOL** · 02-25-2010, 07:29 PM

So, I can take a hint that glow sticks were a bad idea

On the streamers side of things, I would be able to get a bulk purchase of the standard 81 ft streamers and be able to pass them on at a cost of $1.50 for 12. Would there be enough interest to make a bulk purchase, or should I let this thread go back to it's grave?

**Yeoman** · 02-25-2010, 07:37 PM

streamers blow now that we can't throw them at players

Streamers still have plenty of use.

**Yeoman** · 02-25-2010, 08:02 PM

lol

I've always thought that those confetti cannon would be a cool alternative to flares.

Says who?
I remember seeing them get tossed during the CCL match.
And while I don't think beer tossers are good, that keeper definitely deserved it.

**Yeoman** · 02-26-2010, 06:44 AM

it's standard SOP for MLS matches.
it's also the same for CCL matches, but they're a little less stringent on the rulings there.
there was people thrown out of matches last year for throwing streamers.

Let us know when you're going to do this so we can watch while security chases you down.

There is no alternative for flares. But confetti canons rock!

Thank you. I'll be here all night.

Nevermind security, the Cops will be all over him.

And that really is the issue. We can deal with the poorly trained BMO security guards (they'd probably shit their pants if we lit up a decent amount of them anyway) but we wouldn't be able to escape the Cops.

**Yeoman** · 03-01-2010, 08:26 PM

well yeah but hypothetically what if we did have 50+ going at once?
hell, what if we even had 10 going?
if we had anything less then five, they could deal with it.
anything past that, and i'm sure we'll cause a nightmare for them.

**Brooker** · 03-01-2010, 08:40 PM

heh that would work but then the next game everybody going into the southend gets a free patdown. boo.

**Yeoman** · 03-01-2010, 08:43 PM

yeah that was the most fun i had at bmo in several weeks
laughing with the cops when the security were searching us. professionals my ass.
isn't there a place in TO that had cold burning smoke grenades in red?

Maybe I am a pessimist, but I don't see the cops reacting to well to this at all.

Also there is an INSANE about of police presence at TFC games. They are everywhere.

Also as Brooker said, that would be a one time deal as pat downs would come the next week for sure.

Is it worth this much hassle? I am leaning to no.

**FluSH** · 03-02-2010, 08:05 AM

Personally,

I prefer smoke over flares.... now take a look at this pic... black smoke in a bottle... it's like releasing death...

**Dman81** · 03-02-2010, 09:42 AM

but what is a chance of us being allowed proper smoke ?

**BeerBaron95** · 04-04-2010, 09:58 PM

check out da mini firework display blasted from the stands at 1:12.. if only this were alowwed along with flares
