You are right - It is definitely easier for a smaller group like NEE to mount an effective campaign - trying to get most of the south end on the same page would be a miracle!Originally Posted by james

My first protest - after 5 years of buying every TFC game - 6 seats (4 in the expensive, and 2 in the supporters)....I have finally given up on giving MLSE more money (well for extra games). I am not buying the CCL qualifying game. I know they are going to call me and ask me why I haven't bought them yet. I will simply say - the product on the field doesn't warrant me paying more than I already have for this season.
The amount of tickets they sell for the CCL qualifying will definately give them an indication of what they will be seeing for renewals in Sept/Oct.
That probably is the best message the FO is going to get regarding September renewal / price point. Let's hope 4,500 show up for the Real Esteli game...
I would like to protest the lack of protests that we've had. How else is MLSE going to realise we're mad as hell and going to take it more and more!!
I havent given MLSE a penny in 2.5 years. It's surprisingly easy, and you feel good about yourself, like you've done something good for humanity. Or at least the city of Toronto and our community. Really want to protest? Help Ballsilie or that group of fans trying to bring a 2nd hockey team to the GTA. That'd get their attention.
i would like to protest, but i jsut dont see it working due to us not being organized.
Any protest at this point will be ignored by the F.O.
If Season Ticket sales tank, then they will listen.

i think that would be up to the members to discuss
While there are some things you can do, ultimately the most effective (and really the easiest - in terms of time, mobilization, education, etc) is to not renew.
I agree too.
then close it... there is nothing worst that moderators threatening to close a thread... If you feel that that is the appropriate thing to do, then do it.
Isn't that what we are doing here?
He didn't unilaterally say this is what we are doing did he?
He's asking for discussion. I think he is making some good points here too.
Doing nothing and watching the train crash is the worst option imo.
this group will not protest. end of.
I agree with what some people have already posted about seeing the year through. Yes, things arent ideal and things can get better but we are a supporters group, the 12th man - not a protest group.
i agree, seeing the stadium completely empty is a bad way to go. Id rather try to convince FO to change there mind before we have to result to having empty stadiums. Empty stadium is just bad for TFC, bad for the supporters that really want to be at the games, be laughing stock of other supporters from other teams and is bad for FO as well and the whole organization. Really its just bad for everyone. However it is FOs fault if that was to happen, a train crash that they caused.
This is no time for another protest. Understand the frustration, but support the team & monitor the rebulid.
