    Obviously you couldn't get 20k for DeRo and you can't use BMO (bubble), but you could at least have 50+ supporters there in the ACC conference room
    Props to Paul & the team for everything they have done to date...

    but...

    if they dont have supporters there at these major signing intros...they're dropping the ball.

    On the fans bit, I think we'll get over 100 people there easily for the De Ro signing. Anyone know how many the conference room there can hold? I'd be gutted, GUTTED, to miss out on this, especially since I work about a 4 minute walk fro the ACC.

    Paul - come on dude, work some magic here and get us in! We've waited AAAAAAAAAAAAAGES for this...

    Contact the supporters groups and arrnge for some vocal supporters to be there to welcome DeRo the way he deserves to be welcomed
    did you read mlsintoronto's message earlier in this thread?? let me cut and paste it in:

    You'll want to be around the ACC around 4pm ish. Details soon.

    So 1) Paul beirne is reading the thread, and 2) he wants fans there. Details soon.
    you don't have to spell it out for the guy like he's not considering this himself.

    john molinaro - you're a press dude, how cool would it be to have a big glut of fans there for the unveiling to add some presence and atmospere?

    DeRosario has agreed to a new long-term contract that should keep the Scarborough native with Toronto FC for the rest of his career, sources told SBI on Monday. He will not take up the club's Designated Player slot but is expected to earn the highest possible non-DP salary, between $350,000 and $400,000 a year.
    Also, was this part known? He's locked up past 2010/for the rest of his career? No DP?

    Why 4, if it happens at 3? Do they not want us there for the real one?

    I'd guess theres the press announcement inside the acc media room, and then maybe some sort of meet and greet or maybe a little skills demo (like the big eruo clubs do) in for the fans.

    The press event room is for press...I doubt they will have a bunch of rowdy fans in it. LOL!

    What they may do is bring him out afterwards, maybe into the lobby of Gate...which is the gate that is indoor near the ticket booth? 1? Anyways...the one that links to Union station, near Centresports. That's probably where they will allow the supporters to be.

    But the press event, I highly doubt fans will be there. But I may be wrong.

    My Guess would be (If fans won't be allowed into the press conference) that they will bring him out in front of Gate 1 (inside entrance between ACC and Union Station).

    Quite a large space, so if that's what they do, hopefully lots of people will come out.

    It'd be great if it is full of fans. If there's 15 people standing there it will look really stupid

    Why not have the press conference outside Gate 1 as well?

    Knowing ML$E, they will bring Dero after the press conference to CentreSports and have him sign autographs while they push the new jersey with his new number on it.

    Not many commuters in that atrium. They are all further north in the actual station. Gate 1 could be quite wide open

    Nothing wrong with an autograph signing session - but if that's all they do for the fans, then it gets the thumbs down

    What commuters go through the ACC? Like CB said...all the traffic is about 50 yards north.

    Getting there and then getting out may be the issue. Not the gate itself.

    If by feminine you mean, the song is hot and sexy like a fine lady... then I agree!
