A THANK-YOU message

**Across_The_Pond** · 08-04-2008, 06:30 PM

I just wanted to say thank-you to everyone who I met yesterday at BMO Fields for the hospitality shown towards me. Everyone one of you who I spoke to before, during and after the game. It was good to put names to faces finally!

I had a terrific day, and am looking forward to the next time I watch TFC play again. I was extremely impressed with the organisation of such a new supporters group and the enthusiasm and passion you guys showed. I couldn't have wished for a better day, except of course for the result. But hey, sometimes you have to take the ough with the smooth.

Having finally soaked up the atmosphere at Shoeless Joes, after a year of reading about in online (!!!), it capped off a great day. I don't want to list the names of the people that I met because I'll no doubt leave someone out by mistake, and I wouldn't want to do that! You know who you are, and for the ones that I didn't get o speak to, then I'll make a greater effort to catch a conversation with you next time.

I'm proud to say that RPB has a branch in Wales! And no matter what the outcome of the games TFC play, I'm sure the support and energy generated from you guys will grow and grow.

Thank-you once again

Lee

Was great meetin you too mate... Thanks for comin out.

**RYANTFC** · 08-04-2008, 06:33 PM

finally, it's nice to hear people that aren't going on about boycotting the matches and sack mo, sack carver...blah blah blah. Great to hear you had a good time

**Boris** · 08-04-2008, 06:33 PM

awesome meeting you...

**Baggio2TFC** · 08-04-2008, 06:36 PM

Hearing that...I must say, puts things in perspective for me. I don't know this guy, but to hear that from someone from europe is huge for me. Enough with the negativity ppl! We have a good...I mean great thing here. Lets not ruin it but boycotting and what not(for now anyways)!

I know we complain, and rant as all true fans do, but lets be honest, we are number one in the league, and soon(i hope) our team will be too. We are the class of MLS, and will be that way for sometime to come!!

TFC...TFC...!!!

**Phil** · 08-04-2008, 06:39 PM

It was great to meet you yesterday Lee!

Thanks for helping out at that match

**TFC FAN72** · 08-04-2008, 06:40 PM

Nice meeting you too. The RPB Wales T-Shirt was a nice touch as well.

Forgot to ask if that was given to you or did you have that before coming over?

**Sab0tage** · 08-04-2008, 06:41 PM

Glad you enjoyed yourself. What section were you in anyways?

I was given the shirt as a Christmas present last year, but had the text on the back of the top put on earlier last week.

**rocker** · 08-04-2008, 07:01 PM

Glad to see you understood my post.

I thought the RPB made it for you as a special gift. Either way, very original and hopefully more folks in Wales will follow our boys in the future.

Thats all fine and dandy but what are your thoughts on Carver? Mo?
Cunny and who should we get for a DP?

**Toronto_Bhoy** · 08-04-2008, 08:09 PM

Lee, it was a delight meeting you…glad you had a terrific day despite the result.

I was at a party on Sunday night and remarked to a number of friends about meeting Lee. Their reaction was, surely he can find better football "across the pond"! And I tried to explain, this is what being a member of a supporters group is all about…it's more than making banners and chanting throughout a game…it's about connecting and engaging with folks from all walks of life and sharing a common thread…in this case TFC.

Look forward to seeing you again Lee!

All for One!
Brian

**Mrs. Workie** · 08-04-2008, 08:36 PM

**CretanBull** · 08-04-2008, 08:49 PM

After a year of talking in the FL1 thread, it was good to meet you and put a face to the name

Cheers Lee, it was great to finally meet you and have a quick chat. It's a shame your two goals were overshadowed by mine.

Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully a few more as well.

**mclaren** · 08-05-2008, 08:26 AM

nice meeting you - and well played on a great couple of goals for our side!

**Velvet Elvis** · 08-05-2008, 09:29 AM

I was great to meet you Lee, and to share a game on the pitch as well.
Hope you can make it out to a few more.

**Shaughno** · 08-05-2008, 10:01 AM

**Shaughno** · 08-05-2008, 10:06 AM

and another...

**rocker** · 08-05-2008, 10:13 AM

is this the new DP signing?

**Shaughno** · 08-05-2008, 10:14 AM

Between he and I we had 4 goals on the day all beauties. I think we had more shots than TFC has all season as well.

**The Oz** · 08-05-2008, 10:46 AM

WHOA when did that game happen?
