    Default Member Wall - Is this a joke?

    I got this email today:

    The TFC Member Wall Is Coming
    As a TFC Member, we want to honour you by including your account name on the Member Wall.
    The name we currently have on account is: Friend
    So, of course, I don't want my name to appear as "Friend". Clicked on More information and got the following (see last line):

    Our members are the most important part of Toronto FC. As such, we are honouring all Members by including their names on our Member Wall.

    If you are NOT interested in having your name included on the Member Wall please fill out the form below to opt-out. Deadline to opt-out is July 20th 2017.
    Email Address * This field is required



    TFC Account Number * This field is required



    No, please do not include my name on the Member Wall





    Please note: We are unable to accept name changes at this time.


    WTF????

    They have sent out revised emails with our actual names included.

    Me thinks the IT department hit send on a template before all the information was included.

    Those emails made me laugh. Would be great if the entire wall had 22,000 or so "Friends" on it.

    The names have been changed to protect the innocent... This may have been the case during the "dark" years.

    Kinda the equivalent of wearing the paper bag on the head in the stands.

    I wanted to change my name to "Friend the Twitter". A little Plata reference.

    Its still stupid. No option to change a name either.

    Whatever marketing genius thought of this should be muted and the morning meetings.

    Yeah I got the Friend email and went WTF and then later got the corrected one. Still they are not letting you change the name, so only the actually account holder's name is going up. Guess they don't want to deal with someone adding a bizzare if not dirty like name. Something along the lines of Harry Assman. Which in all honestly could be a real name for all we know.

    Would have been interesting finding out just how many people named Al O'Cashun can support one team...

    I noticed last game that the member wall is sort of up. The wall that faces gate 3 has some plaques up. It's not very large and maybe it was up earlier and I did not see it. Though it looks like not all of them are there. I'm not sure if they got ripped off or never made it up yet. Didn't see my name on there but it wasn't in alphabetical order either.

    It was placed in alphabetical order by first name

    Was it not you, who had the idea of a supporters gate, ( or is my memory failing me) isn't this kind of a rip off of that???

    Sorry it was BillyFly's idea circa 2010. the "good all days" when all we had to do is bitch and complain on the boards, and come up with schemes.
