I like the idea of the last two games for the protest. the dc game might help set up a good turnout for the impact game.

I'm going to dress up as an empty seat.
I have a REALLY good costume..
id rather see banners and 2 sticks or something, Soccers unique way of support compared to the traditional hot dog eatting North American fan base where papper bags is seen in Hockey, Baseball, basketball and NFL Football. But if you can get a big group of people wearring bags it would be very effective, people from across the country would understand it. In other sports it seems to never be more then a few individuals with bags, not organised groups, so could look good. Fuck it id say do it. Better then doing nothing!

anyone have this banner??? bring it back now that he got promoted at bell/rogers!it will be a bit of a circus. lets go have fun and do this! it's the last time we'll be at BMO this year and if the renewals are shit then some of us might not be back. the protest afterwards at gate 4 can have a more serious messge.
here's the challenge, organizers, please organize. seems pretty obvious that this is what the group wants. now lets do it.
I posted this in the other thread, where's the ASSelmi banner? it needs to come back.
I think Anselmi is here to stay (seeing as he's the president of the whole organization). It's Cockbrane who we need to focus out efforts on.
Cochrane Out banner is only going to get him promoted.
MLSE is the problem of corporate environments in a nut shell. Friendships over capability is the way to the top.
you know , I'm at a disadvantage because my wife insists I wear a bag over my head....many times.......just saying......and that large one probably wouldn't fit my oversized melon.....

you're too funny Derek.
the way it's going not sure I even want to show up........there is NOTHING on this team worth watching . with different coach . yes ,..the boys WOULD respond,..cause they have heart...they all know now that Mariner like MO is a phoney ,..just a stong past player whom the game has left behind.....must be tough because he'll NEVER admit it and drag us all down (again),..with him.....where is the class/character in the mgmt team???.......and this could be next year as well??...the players aren't trying or are totally confused with the non-direction of the coach...so what's to watch?...we are the laughing stock of the league...at first I really don't agree with the bags over our heads but god this team is really pushing us as soccer lovers over the edge.......and with no real negativity in the stands from the true supporters , the FO can live in a dream world just collecting their cheques......I'll bring a bag and figure it out at the game if it's fitting but I really wish for something stronger......being dropped from the MLS might work unfortunately!.....it's safe to say we need a new front office with a different international approach to the game....the 70's are gone FFS

Will be doing this at the next home game .. also thinking about bringing a two-stick that says "Its Mariner + Cochrane or US - Choose Wisely"
Also the reason why you do this, instead of sitting at home is because it garners attention. If picked up by a CBC or TSN - this can put that extra pressure we need on ownership
I think almost everyone in this thread wishes to wear a paper bag for the last 2 games. Everyone who is not wearing a paper bag is probably not going to participate in the thread (other than myself).

I'm going to wear a paper bag over my clown wig and red nose.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
For the L'Impact game I'm bringing a banner that reads
"Joey Saputo, please buy TFC!"
how about a chant... " all we are saying is give us some hope"
I WILL be wearing a paper bag for the last two games.
The interesting question is: Will any of us wearing the bags be on TV, or pictured in follow-up articles, or on the big screen?
My prediction: No, given that the new ownerhsip controls tv content, media (i.e. Larson and co.,), there will be no images presented or discussed. They use supporters images when we are happy, jubilant and chanting, but will refuse to acknowledge our discontent.
TV or jumboscreen- no. Of course not. Those things are there to get people excited to be at the game or get to the game.
Paper- Almost always does the papers have the lone 2 fans on the front of the section of the lowly whoevers and their anonymous, impotent shame.
Sorry to PaperBaggers that take offense.

I've seen plenty of paper bag wearers on tv. LOL
but now how will people know it's me wearing a red power ranger t shirt?
hopefully we'll get a shot or two in the papers and on the interwebs. any attention to this is welcome.
don't worry.... we'll know......
