    Default Wall of Honour?

    Given Leiweke's thoughts regarding the old photos at ACC, has he weighed in on the Wall of Honour at BMO? What are the chances that the Wall of Honour is still up for 2014?

    comparing 700 year old pre-historic black and white photos to 2 recent names of people who are still with the club is apples and grape juice.

    TL has already retracted at the pictures at ACC and said he made a mistake saying he's going to take them down.

    I can see TL's point about the Leaf photos. I think Leaf fans overreacted. It isn't like he said take down the banners and banish Johnny Bower from the ACC.
    But as an interesting parallel, what happens if the Argos move into BMO? Their wall of honour has a lot more names that TFC, what banners and photos go up in the concourses, etc?

    no. Best I can give them is replacing the soccer nets with field goal posts in the urinals.

    We need the wall of honour. How else are we supposed to remember which players the club offered jobs to after they retired?

    I sort of think the wall of honor is a joke .. no disrespect to canadian championships but TFC has done nothing ever really since 07 /.. If you want a wall of honor fine but jesus could we have some class to it .. Not just some stickers up against the back wall .. like wtf i could have done a better job with stuff from homesense craft section

    Also agree that the reaction to TL's statement by the media/Leafs fans was way over the top. I totally understand what TL was getting at, even if perhaps it wasn't the best way to state it, or the proper time to do so. Wall of honour is really a joke. No one really deserves to be on it yet, and one of the few people that perhaps does is already commemorated in song every 24th minute.

    I like the idea of the wall...but we need to raise the bar in terms of quality of membership. Only true club legends, not answers to trivia questions.

    No TFC Wall of Honour could be complete without our greatest asset. The one we've traded for time and time again: Mr. Allocation Money.

    You know what is more approriate for this club and would have more legitimate inductees to a wall would be a wall of shame . Let me start by naming it's first inductee, it would be the person responsible for hiring Mo Johnston.

    That would guarantee the expansion of BMO. We would need the space!

    ^ Nope. I think after a few years it will be, though.

    Seems to me like his testimonial match would have been a good time for it.
