SO many tickets being unloaded in the ticket exchange forum, is their going to be ANY TFC south end support at this game, or will it be like last years Benfica match with away supporters running round at the top of 112-118?
is ANYONE going to the Pachuca game....?

well there is really no interest in going to a friendly that in all honesty I hope we play our B squad in
I can not for the life of me understand why we would schedule a friendly mid-season. I would not pay 2 cents to go watch this game.
Warm-up games are supposed to be for the pre-season...
Pachuca is a quality squad and I'm looking forward to seeing them and maybe getting a look at Ibee. I've been to reserve games though. This one just cost a little more.
There are plenty of RPBs going. Myself included. It will be great fun to see a qualitity Mexican team face our boys. I enjoyed last years friendlies as well. But I would enjoy just watching our team practice - so I'm a wee bit obsesive.
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
I'm going. I'm curious to see how we stack up against a possible C.Cup opponent.
Nice one Domin8r. Either you get it or ya don't eh?
I'm going to be there...
Looking forward to seeing how we stack-up to these guys like Shaughno mentioned...
I also hope we see everybody on the pitch at some point (have both sides waive the sub limit) - try new formations and ideas out there...
I must say though, had this not been part of my Season Tickets, I wouldn't have been able to shell out the $120 a ticket printed as face value... Some of the people selling off their seats are looking to cash in on that I think (which in itself is a debate that has been had)...
Hopefully the people selling their tix aren't the same ones asking for more night games - because here's a Saturday night game waiting for them this week...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
We'll be there!
Why people wouldn't want to see this game is beyond me. Maybe they just love the team and not the actual game? TFC vs Pachuca is huge. We get to see how we fair against better clubs, and how we can improve our squad. Mo can use this as leverage to increase players, etc. You guys are nuts!
i am going
I don't think friendlies are any kind of gauge on how you stack up. We drew against Benfica last year in a friendly and are you going to tell me we stack up evenly against Benfica?!Originally Posted by sweetlemon69
This is a joke of a game, it's a gimmick to line MLSE's pockets. Sorry to sound cynical. But it's just another chance for our players to get injured and distracted from what matters - The league and Canada cup.
Friendlies like this should be pre-season only.
I do agree they should be scheduled at a different time of the year, but I think this game has more weight than any friendly we've played so far. This is a team that we could very well face in the C.Cup down the road. Maybe not this year, but if we know how they play it's a lot easier to adapt to suit.
I'll be there, standing and singing my heart out in 117. I don't like the idea of a mid-season friendly, but I am very excited to see how we compare to one of the best clubs in the Americas, especially one with such history. I could care less who Carver puts out on that pitch. It will be a good game regardless.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee love you
We love you
We love you
And where you go, we follow
We follow
We follow
Cuz we support Toronto
Toronto
Toronto
And that's the way we like it
We like it
We like it
Atta Boy! I'll be doing the same...but at the top of 112.
I always like seeing how we stack up against intenational teams (eg outside the USL and MLS). Should be a good game.
But the thing is... you're not going to know how they play from this friendly. You're not gonna learn squat. You think they're going to approach this game the same way they'd approach a CL game? They would be crazy if they did. This is nothing more than a glorified scrimmage.
If Guevara or Dichio or Wynne heaven forbid get injured in this game, would any of you say it was worth it?
I'm there.
I'm amped up.
Pachuca is a quality squad.
I don't understand why people are so against this match.
Also, we as a group should want our squad to want to win at home vs. Any Team.
This is OUR HOUSE.
I just picked up 2 tickets - $40 for the pair
face value says $70/ticket
nice deal
Ya, it's beyond me why people wouldn't want to go. I mean, you team is still playing, regardless of whether it's a friendly or not. Should we not support them?
I'll be there. Why wouldn't I go see a home game?

oh... and Todd Dunivant called and personally invited me. Too bad he's out on an injury, but at least I know that a recorded copy of his voice cares about the little guys like me.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
The tickets are included int he ST price so why wouldn't I go? I agree that friendlies should be pre-season, but the MLS season doesn't really help in that regard as most big leagues are in the important home stretch in March.
I hope we play some of the kids so I can get to see how they do...we picked up too many injuries in similar circumstances last summer and they way we are playing cannot afford to do so again...
You can still learn from playing the team in a friendly, to say you aren't going to learn anything at all is foolish. Sure it's not going to be the same team or tactics that you would see in a CL game, but there's still plenty to take out of it. How they distribute the ball, how they challenge, certain player's tendancies, etc.
I said it before the friendlies last year and I stick by it. I'd much rather have the friendlies at a less critical time of the season.
I'm not 100% when the Mexican league plays, but if it's typical FIFA schedule... you really think they will want to play in the middle of THEIR season? Remember, we're the underdogs, we asked them to come and to that effect we have little say on when they can and can't come.
The Aston Villa game was one of the best games last year.......If TFC is at home, I will be there.
