FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
There used to be a time when I'd go to every friendly TFC had. Now that I've seen several non-North American teams the novelty has worn off and there's a very short list of opponants I'd go see, Spurs aren't on that list.
A little odd where the away supporters section is, 222-23. Spurs Canada has a block of 500 for their members to purchase at $50 a piece. If 104 was not big enough I would have thought they would have at least put the away supporters in the north end. Interesting to say the least.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
“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
you should have known very well that this was what was going to happen
i enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Ronnie O'Brien getting injured against Aston Villa
Corrected for the fact that World Cup players will not be available
and Bradley or Defoe tore their ACL, we should just shut up and take it...great idea
wonder what they are doing with the SSH in that section? and only $50 for dark grey/red...seems like a mistake
O'Brien reaggravated a previous injury, one that he initially received months earlier in training, the reaggravation could have easily happened in another training session, or a league match. He had also injured the same knee that preseason in an exhibition game, I don't know if that was fully healed when he got the injury in training.
Everytime there's a friendly somebody mentions O'Brien, and I'm wondering why this is still a big deal? These friendlies are really just glorified training sessions, what difference does it make if somebody gets injured in front of a paying audience or behind closed doors?
Training is necessary. This is not. This is sold as a competitive match so it's treated as such by we supporters.
There's the same argument for everyday life accidents that affect players. No one would suggest bubble wrapping players when they aren't on the pitch.
But this argument/debate is old and not much will be done to change it for the near future.

Its funny. The players and everyone will tell you that training is a lot different than a game for the intensity and actual game experience. The players want to play against these teams to see how they measure up.
As long as they are not moving games, I really don't care if they play them or not. They have the depth to sub off big players, as well if there is any risk, they won't be playing in the game.
Overall I would prefer they not play meaningless firendly games but I can accept that they do and will play them.

Comment on players possibly getting injured in this one game - I don't think there is any bigger risk of a player getting injured in this than regular training seeing as we have enough injuries already just through training days. Man, I twisted my ankle once walking down the street, injuries can happen any time. If we didn't want to risk injuries, we wouldn't train, or do any type of risky activity like cross the road! I don't think this game is any riskier than normal training. Yes O'Brien got injured in a friendly, but Dike got injured during training. Who is to say that O'Brien wouldn't have injured himself in training that same day?

I was shocked that they didn't jack up the prices.
Those are STH prices, BTW. My $25 light greys show a face value of $45 on them.
$20 to watch them from the supporters section....reasonable.
For $25 I will happily watch any professional-level football match anywhere. Except in Stoke. Never again.
Had to come in here to see if the pricing was correct or that was a down payment.
Really shocked but sooooo happy.

Hmmmm atleast the pricing is okay. Is be willing to spend $50 if I had it. Might have to think about it for a few days.
