(I was seriously considering that if we had to deal with Caldwell et al on the away games this year, that I would watch only while listening to long trance dance mixes instead of the play by play - just to reduce the negative vibes)
Unfortunately something to consider, especially given he conditions - the pitch is likely to be a factor in how we are able to play.
By now I think it's a matter of fact rather than opinion that the BMO Grounds Crew is not producing a quality playing surface. I suspect that we'll see a very patchy field.
^ yeah I was going to say normally people have commented on the pitch earlier than the week before the first game here. I cannot imagine these conditions are helping at all. I know a few years ago they were complaining that the wind was too much for the growing lights on the field to stay up. I suppose not many updates on the condition of it.
Pitch and weather may be terrible. Guys who have been here awhile will be used to it.
That said, this game is a MUST win. If we can get 3 points, hopefully can start building momentum.
I really hope Osorio gets motivated. He has been really quiet.
I assume Lorenzo is back and hope he gives 100% too. Whole team needs to be fired up for this and ready to go, even if its a blizzard out.
My back yard grass was in great shape until the two snowmageddons we just had. Might still be ok underneath it. BMO might not be too bad. Weather looks pretty March for Saturday, but I don't trust anything this far out. Fingers crossed.
2 degrees and 20% chance of snow currently for gametime Saturday.....as much as I hope for better I am pretty sure given historical March temps we are pretty much getting what is forecasted. Would be nicer if our stadium was more enclosed like other stadiums. The design or lack thereof just allows wind to be a factor.

If we're talking about the grounds team not tweeting, we just got one on the 2nd and it's looking not too bad - at least, on Thursday before snowmageddeon...
They said last year that we can't have an enclosed stadium as it would change the stadium's fire code status to indoor (or whatever Roger's Centre is) and rule out smoke and stuff like that. It was during the WC announcement of their half-assed planned upgrades of BMO.
Watching those drone stadium episodes on apple makes it so sad how BMO has fallen way behind as a stadium

Lookin' good.
This is all so stupid.
Do you know when our home opener was in 2007?
April 28. Which was a pretty cold, blustery day.
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Agreed. Would it kill us to have more summer / fall dates and less spring. Conversely, would those in south Florida not appreciate doing the opposite rather than frying in the stands in mid July?
It’s like we put up with this bullshit because we’re expected to carry the weak half of the league who depend on kids being out of school to draw fans.
FWIW... some Columbus Crew/ Wilfried Nancy insight. A scouting perspective? How will TFC fair against their possession and not transition challenge? Suggest... to read the full conversation.

Pitch looks a hell of a lot better than this time last year.

This is what happens when you've got an ownership with no vision.
We need the "if you build it, they will come" attitude that Tim brought. Instead we seem to get a couple carrots(Insigne/Berna) but no movement on anything regarding the fan experience.
I understand that BMO has got some sentimental value for a few people here l, but realistically we need a whole new stadium to compete and bring us forward as a club.
