Nah must have been a different dude. But that guy would drive me nuts too. I shouldn't be so harsh on your thread, I have just never equated pyro with footy. My british roots say sitting in the rain eating shitty food go hand in hand with footy, so that's more my M.O.
I personally think it looks contrived, but as have always said , if there is a majority consensus and people get loud, I'm all for whatever makes that happen.

Annnnnnddddddd.... pyro now being taken away....... seen it coming from a 10000 miles away.... what a clusterfuck
This is what it seems to be about more than anything.
Flush: I would say that there needs to be something fresh and original to inspire chanting. That's just my opinion. I have suggested it in the past so I'll do it again just so I don't suggest without an example. "De Ro" to the tune of Peter Gabriel's "Biko". Very simple and fits well, plus it's new and totally original.
My feeling is that it just needs an influx of new blood to pump life into the chanting and singing.
I know there have been attempts at new songs, but they never seem to catch on for whatever reason. I will try my chant, as I have briefly in the past. I think if it could get the RPB bump (like the Colbert bump) it may have a chance.
I have never understood why The Legend TFC or Long May You Run never really caught on, but have always thought they had a legit chance. They have been given a few good tries, and once The Legend TFC was played on the PA system either before or after a game and it seemed to get people singing it. I wish they would do that on a regular basis.
I have always preferred a bunch of really strong chants over 90 minutes where 45 minutes is half-hearted anyway. Again, just my opinion.
wait so pyro is actually being taken away????
smoke is not being taken away
Is it being taken away from 114? I can't imagine London would say that without reason.
Toronto 'til I die - but I think they're trying to kill me.
I believe it has been taken away from 114 but the ones in 112 and 113 will stay in place
Who's the guy in the middle with the flare? I see him a lot and was wondering where you got ur flares?
what we should do is next game is bring a shit ton of smoke and if the people don't like it, they should leave the section!
Any smoke brought into BMO is against field rules and you will be ejected and probably banned. There not screwing around with it anymore.
Plus anything like that or any other issues and we will lose smoke for good.
Please abide by the rules and do not put yourself or anyone else in the position to have this happen.

Or at least bring smoke to the march!
yeah and I'm not going to go back to 114 in till the smoke it back in till things are better. I sold my ticket for 4 games in 114 and got a ticket from kings of the north for 127 Saturdays Columbus game. If things are not fixed by the end of season I may not being coming back or move to 127. I love TFC and do not want to start to hate the team just because some fair weather fans bitching and moaning.

Anyone even have ideas of how to fix things?
This is why I want to unite the families. One SG to go to the FO and say 'we represent 2000 people, give us 112-116 GA' and then divvy stuff up (Tribal Nation, flags/no flags, badass TIFO etc)
Convert the good tourists, huck the bad and kill it at every game.
I think the pyro question has been answered in this thread. Do not be bringing it in to BMO and ruining what we've worked for. If you want to use it somewhere else that's up to you and nothing to do with the group.
Thank you.
