    Default No Flares, what about this?

    Hi all, first post here, so please be kind.

    Quick intro first. I am from England and have lived here since 1998. (STH in 224, row 21)

    OK, so since flares are not permitted, how about red glow sticks? It would have the potential for looking really good at night games. There are many Canadian wholesale sellers.

    1 example is here

    http://glowproducts.com/specials/#ap...alprod_GS006US

    An idea for a group buy?

    Perhaps for later in the season when the sun sets earlier.
    Right now it's still daylight for the whole game.
    (personally I think TFC should have a glow stick giveaway day later in the year)


    then again... they probably won't because they would assume half of them will end up on the pitch after a goal.

    I think August 23rd is still too early in the year for this to be effective.
    We're totally screwed here... that's the only night game we have left after July!
    What we really needed was an evening match in late September or beyond... playoffs perhaps??

    Well if we start "dancing" at the end of the 2nd half it could work.
    Then their's also the Champions League match in late August. Could do it during the Canada match as well... Atleast pretty much everyone would be in the south end for that.
    Haha that would be complete jokes.

    Dragging a thread back from the dead,

    Some old comments mentioned using this at a night game. The home opener is now a night game.

    As a major side note, I am a manager at a kids birthday place and I have been checking out wholesale prices for streamers and red glow sticks, and I think I can get a really good price. If there is enough interest, I would be willing to make a bulk buy purchase and pass the savings on to everyone (much cheaper than Dollarama).

    I can post again before the weekend with costs and to gauge interest.

    got news for you guys..... there are REALLY bright lights on the field.
    We're not at madison square gardens where they play in the light and you sit in the dark, it's almost bright as day in the stands.

    glow sticks of any size would barely be noticeable.

    hey we took a shot at it, and it didn't work out
    lets just get some million watt candlelight flashlights and put some red filters over them
    we can keep one without a filter to blast in the face of strikers lining up a shot
    brilliant!
