“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
I'll tell you what MLSE should do...offer a one season freebie to Day 1ers.
Likely tough to do given season 2 etc STHs would be pissed off, but it'd be one hell of a gesture.
Or if that's unworkable, offer a BMO Field credit on some kind of a pre-loaded debit card on a sliding scale depending on longevity.
Both would be huge gestures.
On a personal level, I need an assurance of grass and no pointy-ball lines as well as a degree of faith in whoever the new GM/Prez will be to renew.
I really want to renew as I love 115 but this club does not deserve my money nor my time. MLSE has created a template for how not to run a football club.
QUOTE=Yohan;1613955]yeah but your objection was the turf. i proved otherwise
I really think selling Toronto to a player is not a problem. it's selling TFC to a player that's the issue[/QUOTE]
Yes of course , it's the organization.......esp heresay around the world , from disgruntled exMgmt/players.......still think the old turf , not hybrids, would maybe added incentive , the straw that breaks the camels back....Remember Dempsey got 8 million? per............he'd never get that anywhere. Money talks ?...

it would look kind of silly if the argos are playing in a stadium with all red seats.. someone gonna have to change their uniforms. i sure dont want any navy blue argos crap hanging around BMO field. it will just look and feel wrong.

The blue patch has as much history to it.
I'm good with Red, though.

I wouldn't put it past the club to overhaul and start as fresh as possible.
Although it seems more that clubs move to wearing Red, than away from it.
I distrust them more than most but it's pretty obvious a renewal will be at the same price as last year.
I really have trouble reconciling the hard ass executioner executive with this pandering, cap in hand letter.
Unless maybe that Argo's sale/relocation goes through in February.
"Hold the prices flat". Is this the overall total or price per ticket? If it's the former, then technically, this translates to a price increase. I'm sure I read somewhere that MLS was looking at a reduced schedule (28 games) next season. Not sure if it's official yet. So you're looking at a reduction of 3-4 games home games, but they're going to charge you the same total as 18 home games.
I have my doubts that the reduction in games will go through.
The idea has not come from MLS. Its something sources say they are considering for the future. But the idea seems to be mostly floated by US Soccer types and their media supporters.
Until Don says it, it ain't happening.
Dropped my seats after season 5, but I think it would be a great gesture for the club to give a thank you gift to people who have kept seats since day 1. Doubt your getting free tickets but they could offer up free coaches to Montreal and Columbus for people who have held on for what will be 8 years. Maybe some free parking in a corporate sponsored '2007 club' parking area.
That 2nd Div thing is perfect for anybody that jumps ship to Montreal.
Deserters to be shot btw.
