March 7th Pre-Game March from Croc Rock!!

[SuperTCP]

What Route is the 7pm Supporters March taking?

Will it be passing by any other bars to meet up with other TFC fans.

I have some friends attending Real Sports Pre-Party and wanted to meet up with them.

Also heard MLSE is planning a march with Pipe Band at 6pm? WTF? Would it not be better to combine the two marches?

From TFC email:

"[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']//COME BE A PART OF THE RED MARCH[/FONT][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']
[/FONT][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Come take over Toronto. On March 7th at 6:00 p.m., we will be closing down Bremner Blvd. and led by a live Pipe Band, march to the Rogers Centre. Please meet at Maple Leaf Square (just outside Real Sports Bar & Grill) to join the sea of red as we make our way to the event...TFC-style.[/FONT]

disregard. Iwas given false information ormation

[socceronly]

there is a TFC sponsored march from RealSports to the Skydome.

From everything I've heard, there will NOT be a march from crocrock with the supporters groups. People can walk together, but there's no organized mach (too many people, to much headache with timing, road closures etc).

this might not be the case, but as of Friday, there was no march planned from crock rock.

Whaaaaa? There is definitely a march planned! That's what everyone is looking forward too!

7pm last I heard.

gotta love how they are doing the tfc led march at 5:45 despite the gates not opening until 6:30...guess they need to clear out the bar

parky: according to the usector home page, there is a march at 7pm

Have you ever heard of a Raptor game at the ACC and more importantly a 7 pm Leafs game on the big screen, their bread and butter.

planned or not...You can guarantee a gathering of the masses will be heading to Rogers United! from the croc rock!

Call it a march or not ...

Exactly. Get in early guys! I trust that a bunch of people will leave there in time for gates but given the amount of people, the different stadium and weeknight start time its best to be in early and be loud!

The March 7 March is at 7. Whats the confusion?

lol… tongue twister.

So it seems half of the supporters will be at Croc Rock and half at RSBG. Makes sense considering the numbers.

thats' the whole point...TFC is still not important enough to them

[Belfast_Boy]

45 mins to walk across a square. Better make sure to bring that entertainment!! Hope for those attending there's some Highland dancers with those pipes.

TFC's March is too early. Can't drink enough beer by 5:45. My friends and I will join the 7pm March.

What route will the 7pm take from Croc Rock? South on University then accross Bremner to Skydome?

[TOBOR !]

Completely torn on this. On the one hand I want to join the masses, but on the other I don't want to get caught up in the clusterfuck that's sure to be, trying to get inside the dome.

Thats the thing, this isn't BMO so its hard to anticipate gate time, walk time and all that.

For this game I would say get in as early as possible. We attempted to communicate with the other groups as to what the 'plan' is for an organized march and it was decided that we would just roughly say leave Crock Rock at 7.

[Wagner]

guys,
it's a special night, so make a special effort.
get down there early.
if you have any flag poles, etc...hit up Gate 8.

would you rather be in there a little early, maybe grab a beer pre-game?
or stuck in line at one of the gates and miss the kick off...

we need to shake the rust off...and the plan is to get going (singing,drumming, etc) right away.

I agree - do you know the planned Route fans at Croc Rock will take? If so I will tell my friends at Real Sports, and those at other bars to leave around 7pm and await the Croc rock crew.

[TFC Cityboy]

^^ damn right. Love pre match build up on special nights. I plan to be in there by 7 at the latest to avoid the last minute rush.

Has anyone else tried to do a march rehersal from Croc Rock to the Rogers Centre, just to see how long it will take to get there? Might help.

Marching and singing through downtown Toronto would be an awesome sight.

5-15 minutes depending on the gate you enter through.

[Suds]

It's a good 15 minute walk from Duncan & Adelaide down to the dome. So, even if you double that time for leaving a bit late and moving slowly you should still hit the dome by 7:30.

im leaving at 630ish. we shouldve planned to leave earlier as well.
getting down there for 730 is cutting it way too close for my liking.

I'll walk it tonight with my "Old Lady" Cart. That should be mob speed.

This is too true. We are always ranting about showing up early to create atmosphere and then bitching when it dosen't happen. Now the organizers of this march are setting us up to barely get there on time.

Can anything be done to get this moved back to 6:30-6:45?

We need to be in the building by 7:15 for three reasons.

1) To show our support during warmup.
2) To get in the prime locations in the supporters sections for flags, drums, etc.
3) To show our support during warmup.

[Rudi]

If it was a weekend, 6:30-6:45 would be prefereable. But on a weeknight, you want to wait as long as reasonably possible to get the most people involved.

Unless people are crawling, it shouldn't take too long to get from Croc Rock to the Dome.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

i'd have to agree....if there is any time we want to be into the grounds early its this game...

6:30 makes a lot more sence
