Time Change for Saturday May 21st - Kick off now 5pm

[SuperTCP]

I just been informed by my TFC Group Sales rep that game on May 21st kick off has been moved to 5pm due to Raptors playoff game

[Phil]

yup...confirmed

[Voodooman]

Damn it...means I can't go anymore.

Salty

[zeelaw]

Umm, I couldn't even make this game, yet this pisses me off? Am I alone in that?

[FRANKIE65]

I'm good with it...back in Woodstock by 9-9:30 instead of midnight - 12:30 AM.

Well, they could at least update the schedule online

Neither the club nor the network have announced it happening officially. The info leaked and i'm sure the rep who leaked the info will be getting an earful from people higher up in sales.

[OgtheDim]

Hmmm....Sportsnet made the call. I wonder if TSN would have if they had the Raptors 3rd game.

[Nodoubtguy]

Love the change......this way I can make TFC and be home in time for Raps tip off. This is a great move for anyone who was conflicted.

I had it confirmed with someone at MLSE too. I am sure whomever is showing TFC, this week being Sportnet would have wanted the TFC game moved up to avoid a complete rattings disaster.

I've had it confirmed as well, doesn't mean they want the info out before they announce it at a time that is coming up very quickly.

The reason for the move it pretty simple both for network and for the team (ratings of nothing and the casual fan not showing up).

The Raps first home game in an ECF will be MLSE's biggest event since the Leafs were in the Conference Final 14 years ago (and maybe bigger than that, really). Not hard to understand.

I'm personally happy for the time change. Gives me time to catch the Raptors game.

I would have been curius how many people who had previously bought TFC tickets would have simpy not shown up?

Totally from a TV standpoint, TFC's ratings up against the Raptors would have been killed. With the game close to a sellout I would have been curious how many people would have simply not shown up at BMO and let their tickets go to waste. Companies have bought suites too.

Yep the game is still on sportsnet one

[FRANKIE65]

I couldn't care less about the Raptors, but, it is definitely a smart move over all.

[Detroit_TFC]

I know this may be an inconvenience to those who have made plans around the published kick off times, but it means I can make the game now, so I'm happy.

Really? I mean, why would they wait? Bad news does not age well.

[Fort York Redcoat]

All I care about is room at Joe's for a post match pint.

Best guesses would be waiting on league approval and/or marlies playoff tickets going on sale at noon and not wanting to dump too much info out on accounts at once.

i got an email 1:30

i assume it was official for the rep

would it be okay if it was for the Argos?

[FRANKIE65]

LMAO...The only Toronto team I care less about. I'll actually watch the Raptors a tiny bit in the playoffs. The Argos, and, the entire 8 team farce of a league CFL can....

[Joe Kool]

This actually works out better for me this weekend so I am happy about it. Sucks if it changes anyone's ability to go to the game for the worst though. At least it is not 1PM start because then I would have been upset.

I'm happy with the time change especially with our weather changing by the minute!
