    Since a set of people here will be summoned to one of these Anselmi town hall sessions, what do you want to know?

    Tom, you know nothing about soccer and evaluating soccer leadership, how are you going to find the best manager available to run TFC?

    Tom, how do you expect to hire a top manager & a top coach, and expect them to succeed on their own terms, if you will apparently force them to keep front-office staff such as Brennan & Cochrane, and all the existing assistant coaches?

    that's a whole lot of speculation right there.

    how do you know people will be 'summoned'?

    maybe it will be an open even for anyone who can attend?

    none of that info is out yet, so let's keep this thread to actual questions - and not speculation.

    in his initial press conference, preki made it clear he thought we were a long way away from a playoff team and a lot of changes would need to be made.

    you seem to be suggesting you thought just a few tweaks were necessary to "put us over the finish line" and into the playoffs

    So why did preki get hired? Was he that much of a liar in the interview?

    also, do you really see making the playoffs as the finish line? cos that's alarming if true.

    and risk potential mayhem?..i doubt that. Logically, if they do these townhalls, they'll call on groups of leadership from each supporter group to keep things civilized.

    I suspect the TownHall deal will be very spread across all Season Ticket Holder's. Not just the supporters groups. I want to ask my questions directly and I expect a chance to do so.

    I wouldnt bet on that.

    Lets just focus on the questions, and people should keep their eyes open for annoucements from the team on that front.

    Tom, if BMO is expanded to 30000, will ticket prices be reduced all around in order to keep demand high? ... at current prices and team competitiveness, there is no way BMO will sell out continuously at 30000 seats

    let's be honest here, if they said 'open house' and gave a few days notice, then there might still only be 100 people there. Not everyone can drop whatever they are doing to attend.

    While I agree there could be the potential for a lot of people to get together and be angry, I think that in real life, a lot of the 'angry internet dude' thing washes off.

    What does not wash of is a half empty stadium PARTICULARLY FOR THE MLS final, that will embarass them hurt them, that is what the supporters must do for teh sake of the club. Nothing else will do. Nothing.

    What are the real problems that have been occurring in the locker room since the conception of this club? You have Danny Dichio and Jim Brennan in management positions now and they must have some answers to the locker room issues. What, if anything, are you doing, or can be done, to ensure that we have a group of players that are truly committed to the crest, the fans, each other and the organization?

    At least be thankful that non-members are allowed on this board, that is paid for by member dues. You pay beans all. Many other SGs around the world restrict their boards to members only.

    Why does Tom Anselmi think that we should trust his choice of a GM, when he hasn't hired a proper search firm? Is he just going to use Barry McLean?

    Why should we put up with endless increases to ticket prices?

    Has he noticed the empty seats at games?

    Are they willing to spend what it takes to make this team a winner, even if they have to lose money for a season or two?

    Will they let the new GM bring in his guys, or is he just stuck with Earl and Jimmy as "soccer minds?"

    Why can't we control our own sections?

    Why won't they take meaningful action against scalpers?

    Why do we always have the same crap from security?

    Why are south end tickets being raised more than other sections?

    What are they going to do to improve transparency now that Mo is gone and his sneaky ways?

    If these are serious questions we plan on asking... this should be in the members lounge. The last thing we need is canned answers from fo because some intern did some digging for them and found out some potential questions.

    there is probably going to be something for non-SG supporters, BUT (as I'm sure you would agree) the organized groups generally do more than unorganized supporters (in terms of banners, drums and in-stadium support)

    the SG's are organized, and speak on behalf of their own memberships (hence all the damn polls)

    I'm sure there will be a few great 'off the cuff' questions posed in the meeting.

    let them plan all they want, there will always be surprises.

    Are they going to tie future increases to results (we aren't Leafs fans)?

    Will they let fans vote on whether the GM can hold his position (a la Seattle)? Mo would have been gone 2 years ago if they had done that.

    That would be a big mistake. Essentially they would be shutting out the vast majority of ssh's by only allowing leaders of Supporters groups to attend. They are not the only ones with issues and just because they pay some membership fees to be a part of a group does not mean that they should be the ONLY ones with a voice. IMO they should call people from each section throughout the stadium to come a express their concerns and share their opinions. Perhaps not an open to everyone session but one that will represent supporters throughout the stadium.

    if you look at the TFC website, you'll see there are lots of phone numbers listed.

    Any ticket holder (or even non-ticket holders) can call them up and talk to them.
