TFC Fans Demographics

[C.Ronaldo]

Anyone have any inside info on where most of the season ticket holders live?

I only wonder because the GO train is always packed going west and the opposite going east.


Same with the direction of traffic.

Brantford, you will always see the go filled going west bound, right up to aldershot they transfering to Hamilton, a lot of TFC fans are from outside TO.

[Flipityflu]

huh, there are places to live outside of Toronto?

My guess is people tend to inhabit the western areas more so than the eastern areas because they have nicer restaurants.

[stretchthetruth]

the eastbound trains are rammed through durham too... pretty huge diaspora of tfc fans, i think...

[GabrielHurl]

East York!

QFT.

[rocker]

Mississauga. Clarkson GO is packed with red on gamedays. Port Credit has a surprising # of fans coming onboard too. I thought only bums lived there.
I love the convenience of the train.

[London]

how long does it take to get to aldershot???
i am trying to weigh train vs car, but i think that the train will take much longer.
i get home from BMO in 2 hours 15 with traffic, when the whistle goes, i run for my car.

[Laurignano]

Oakville has a lot of fans too

[BuSaPuNk]

Yeah seems to be alot coming from the westend. Every game day I take the train from the Clarkson Go station and it's rammed. Even getting on the train it's already rammed. Great to see that this team can influence people all over the city and really all over the province.

[EvanVidinu]

No One is on the Go Bus from Uxbrigde (Uxbridge, Stouffville, Markham, Unionville, Union Station). It sucks.

Then again, Ive never gone at the time that would get me in time for the game. Im usually 5 hours before kickoff. haha

[Dave67]

Oakville & Burlington. Someday we will have our own MLS team... perhaps Columbus?

[Cambridge_Red]

KW up in this biatch!

[billyfly]

Junction (or for added real estate value - North High Park)

[GhostPK]

I bus it from Kelowna, BC for each game.... I wish

which makes one wonder why all of the pub nights are in Toronto or not far out of Toronto...

[Jack]

Probably the majority are in the GTA.

[Daveisonfire]

Toronto kits are still pretty few and far between in Oshawa, even though the eastbound train is packed.

[ThunderTundra]

thunder bay!

[Cashcleaner]

^^ East Lakeshore train is CRAZY on gameday! But yeah, not a lot of soccer jerseys anywhere in Durham from what I've seen.

A lot of that perception of fullness has to do with the fact that the Westbound trains have just left Union Station. That's a big part of the reason why they're full up by the time TFC fans have piled in.

By the time the Eastbound train reaches Union, one stop down the line, it's packed to the tits.

I'm in Scarborough. My station stop is Scarborough (Midland & St. Clair). Depending on the kickoff time, there are between 50 and 200 TFC jerseys on display at that station when I show up. And there are already plenty on the train when it gets there as well...2 stops before Union (Danforth being the other).

[Toronto Ruffrider]

I can always spot a few TFC kits when I wait for the GO train at Guildwood Station in Scarborough. I remember meeting Flush at that station back in August.

Burloak FTW

that would be "massive"

[Shaughno]

KW up in here.

[dee-spot]

I live in crappy Brampton and there are no trains running during the weekends so I have no choice but to drive :-(

I don't see many TFC shirts here. In fact, a funny thing happened during the season. I was in Sobey's and I saw a guy wearing a TFC shirt and I was so happy to see it I was looking at him and smiling but then I realised that he had no idea why I was smiling at him and so I think he thought I was eyeing him up because I kept seeing him after that looking at me and he even ended up behind me in the checkout line. I felt like saying to him 'Dude, I'm not interested in you, I'm just a fellow TFC fan!' It was a bit embarassing :-)

[Mark in Ottawa]

At least you guys have a train <sigh>.
When we came down for a game we parked in Pickering and took the Go Train in.
Downright civilized transportation. As previously stated the train trip to start for home was not crowded at first (we left right after the game having to drive back that night) but got busy @ Union.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Fort York.



KD.

Yes?

[Hitcho]

I used to come down from bloor on the bathurst streetcar and they'd put on free buses just for TFC fans to BMO Field, which were always packed to the tits, could never get on the first couple to leave in fact. Do they still do that?
