Hello, everyone!
My name is Svea and I am a brand spanking new TFC supporter. I'm essentially new to the soccer culture as a whole aside from playing a lot when I was younger, but when does that ever count for anything?
I hail from Peterborough, Ontario - I was born & raised here. Both my younger brother and I have quite recently taken an interest to Toronto FC thanks in large part to the 0-60 hype the club has been receiving this year. To be honest, up here in Peterborough we never heard a peep about TFC before a few months ago. Being the crazy sports fan that I am, this is actually the first bandwagon that I am jumping onto myself without having been born into it. I would like you all to know that I intend to delve as deeply into it as possible (I've never been known as a looking-for-an-excuse-to-get-drunk-and-scream-in-public type of girl). While the costs associated with being a sports fan never cease and are a continuing issue, I might not be at every game but I'll damn sure try to make it to any when I can. In the meantime, you can find me ranting & raving over on Twitter under the same handle.
Without even thinking, my brother and I purchased home opener tickets earlier this afternoon & will be clapping up in Section 219. I admit that we are both so excited to see the Red Patch Boys in action & we have heard how passionate you all are through the Internet so far (I can't imagine what it will be like to see in person). Special & many thanks to Doucet3 who referred me to this website being the n00b that I am & answering my (what I thought was) endless list of questions about home opener/match etiquette. I am all ears to any other suggestions you all might have here in this thread & I am thirsty to learn more.
Can't wait for Saturday!
