Is it at least free to SSH's?!
Edit: I assume not.
So, not going, don't care, not interested. Move along, nothing to see here for me.
I'm sure there will be a fair few Italian/Roma fans that will go. Not me. Meh.

No, and at first read...SSH's don't even have a pre-sale. Only 'TFC Insiders' get a pre-sale.Originally Posted by T-boy

Edit: Payne followed up later by saying SSH have a few days of pre-sale before the insiders.

Payne just said one of the domestic MLS matches may get moved - at New England's request. But that is 100% dependent on the Revs winning their USOC match tonight.
This feed is painful to watch but the Roma rep is doing his job well.

Payne just confirmed dates for tickets:
SSH July 3
Insiders July 9
Public July 10
Not too happy with Payne's representation of opposition as 'vocal minority' .. He could've respectfully recognized the opposition view but chose to what I feel disparage us. Unfortunate.
a little cheese with that whine...jeeezzz people nobody is forcing you to go,i love the line is it free for STH..
Not a fan of mid-season friendlies for all the above mentioned reasons...however, I might actually check this one out.
Like KP points out, Wednesdays are the hardest days of the week for the boys, the "loading day," so this friendly shouldn't do much to wind us for the weekend.
That said, I couldn't care less about Roma so wouldn't be going even if it was free. Hope those that go have a great time, though!
No interest from me, but I do understand the reasons for doing this. I don't like it, but it's the way things are for us.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Caring = whining. Got it. Next stop, Apathy! Anyone for Apathy?!

no apathy for me...im a TFC fan win or lose,its jus a game,im going because i love futbol,dont like it dont go..
I became a TFC fan because of this game. Up until now I had no reason to watch a North American game. So I'll give it a chance. Hopefully TFC will field it's strongest team or it could get ugly. It's good that the owners are bringing in a real football team to play against. Hopefully there will lots of kids who play at the game and they can learn that it's not all kick and run. That skill is very important. Maybe the TFC coach will learn that tactics is import to. Maybe one the players from Roma will like Toronto and play here sometime soon.
This is good for Toronto FC- it will be a day of education and growth . Win win!

gino is a euro snob..lol
WONDERFUL post except for 1 tiny thing. How about we play in our off/pre season during THEIR REGULAR SEASON?!?! You know, when we have no concern about injury costing us anything.
To be fair, training can produce injuries. So its not the strongest argument, its just something we all fear and hate. I would prefer not having the match but I think its just the way 'Modern Football' is.

Well at least he's going to give TFC/NA football a shot. I know you probably didn't mean any ill will behind it but calling someone who just joined the board a euro snob after his first post (edit: 3rd post) is a little much. At least let him get settled in the overly negative climate that is the RBP boards first.
Phil, I don't know if you realized but you proved my point. "training can produce injuries". Since we are not playing for anything in this friendly some would categorize this learning experience playing very good players as "training". And I agree, our players could get hurt. DURING OUR REGULAR SEASON of which it is not necessary to participate in these at this time.
Thanks for pointing this out
I won't. But that has little to do with your condescension towards my opinion. You have every right to enjoy this opportunity given. I'm not going to call you names about it and I'm not leading a boycott.
Welcome, Gino. Enjoy the game. YOU are the reason we have these friendlies.

Tomorrow's Toronto Sun: #TFC's playing a friendly -- get over it
What I love about that is that if what they say is true that the "naysayers" to midseason friendlies are an insignificant minority then that tweet looks like it's nothing to get excited about to the majority. #Trollirony.

I'm in tears. Completely sums up the day.
He can not get run over by a bus soon enough.
How to generate interest for a sport in Toronto? But a total doucheschmuck like this in charge of writing the columns. Brilliant.
So is everyone else scratching thier head why Payne would call his teams own fans "not significant" in terms of those supposed to the friendly? Not sure if it was on the feed, never got to see it but it was confirmed by Rollins on twitter. Like if its true that's a little fucking rediculous.
He said what? What was the context?
Those who opposed the friendly were "not significant".
Insinuating that it's only a small minority who are against the friendlies.
A little out of context - Payne said that there was a small vocal minority that was against these friendlies, and that it was "not significant". He didn't say that those fans were "not significant".
Not sure why he would even bring up the opposition to friendlies, unless it was a question posed to him directly?
