[PaceyWinger]

Happy to participate in any way, will jump on a Zoom or whatever... no matter what the team should get something from all the supporters.

that would be pretty special

Dewey Defeats Truman?

[Smokecell]

Something about chickens and eggs. There’s a game this weekend - let’s focus on winning that first and foremost.

[OgtheDim]

Yes, I want us to win this thing.

More importantly, I want SOMEBODY to win this thing. Whoever does will have fully earned it.

[James17930]

Also, wouldn't it good to wait to see if the ISG or whomever it is backtracks on their decision? The Shield still might end up getting awarded (unless there's some new updates I haven't heard yet).

TFC's magic number to win the "Shield" - 10 points (we currently have 41 points - 4 games left)

Philadelphia - 10 (currently 38 points, max of 50 - 4 games left)
Columbus - 9 (currently 34 points, max of 49 - 5 games left)
Seattle - 7 (currently 32 points, max of 47 -5 games left)
Orlando - 7 (currently 32 points, max of 47 - 5 games left)
Portland - 4 (currently 32 points, max of 44 - 4 games left)
Sporting KC - 5 (currently 30 points, max of 45 - 5 games left)
and Colorado - 9 (currently 19 points, max of 49 - "10 games" left)


A couple of huge matchups are
TFC-Philly this weekend
Columbus-Philly next weekend

The man hole cover remains an option regardless - although it will be harder to physically lift.

. I am happy to send an etransfer to your dad to defray any costs; I think we should do this regardless; Club would love it

[FootBallAZ]

im down for something new- like who wins the shield lift that and toss it and lift the new one.
shouldnt have personal connection or saltiness in deciding a trophy for the league.

should teach them a lesson going forward and create a new board maybe consisting of supporters from each team

[benito]

This is positive news!

The comments under that article are... something else.

I suspect this has less to do with members' input (they didn't care for it in the first place) and more to do with the real threat of having the shield replaced by MLS next year.

Those 5 individuals are still goofs in my eyes either way.

Damage is done -

Don't be surprised when the league develops a new trophy for the league winner presented by the league.
Supporters shield will still exist as a token trophy presented by the fans

The chair of this group spent a good chunk of the day throwing shade at Toronto & Columbus fans - the sort of shade a 9 year old might do.

I think the manhole cover would be fun to do regardless, as a thank-you to the team for slogging through the season. The Supporters Shield won’t cost us anything (if TFC wins it) and I think many would be willing to pitch in for something special, me included.

We think it would be fun too. No contributions other than connections and collaboration.

Will talk more in the coming days/weeks.

Go Reds!

Imagine being a fan of a team that is the equivalent of an A ball baseball club for their energy drink over lords.
