If your talking about the Bus trip I think 4-5 spots are STILL OPEN. So if you want to come contact myself or Kevin as quickly as possible and we will get you all the information and get you set up to go.
I hate to contradict my fellow TFC fan but there are a number of construction projects ongoing between Fort Erie and Toronto on the QEW. The construction season has just started and there are possible lane restrictions in St Catherines, Oakville and Mississauga. I work in the highway construction business and I am not aware of any major close downs this weekend but this link might help with up to date information before you leave. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/trip/map.shtml?ll=43.040791,-79.185333&z=10 When you are across the border the best radio station to get updates is AM 680. They give traffic updates every 10 minutes on the 1's (1,11,21 etc). Good luck with the trip.
yes. just keep in mind that concessions close at the 70th (for beers) and in some cases even before. i don't know why i'm sharing this info with you lot but whatever. we haven't had much of a visiting presence this year yet so i'm looking forward to hearing the whispers coming from your section lol cheers
thanks. i remember there being lane restrictions and speed limit reductions last year. didn't know if it was the same this year.
I have to go to Frankfurt to get a new birth certificate friday. From what i can tell from the info on the website they do same day service. If for some reason they won't give me one on friday then i won't be able to go. I'm so getting a passport after all this.
All the e-mails have been sent out to everyone thats going on the trip. If you are going on the trip and haven't received an e-mail please PM me with your e-mail and I'll forward you the information.
LOL...i know a lot of you from c-bus like to use the images to express feelings but this is the first to make me giggle. in all seriousness, there is no trap just prepare yourselves for a very hostile crowd with unfortunatly, no real seperation between the home and away supporters unless of course there is a considerable police presence between 104/05 which i don't recall ever seeing at BMO. and most of you who've well represented this....sigh...organization here wouldn't either. just hope the cops/security are prepared because this match i am certain, won't be like a match between the leafs & BJs in the stands. you lot should/will be well represented this visit unlike any other team thus far this season at BMO so i hope the cops don't underestimate the rivalry and football culture here and everyone has some good fun. good drinking, good chants/songs back and forth and good football should be all that's on the menu for saturday i hope. COME ON YOU REDS!!!
I may have sharted, TBF. With these pills I'm on, I'm not in total control all of the time. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blwBvrFQy-Y"]YouTube - Oops I Crapped My Pants[/ame]
All the kindness in this thread sort of feels like this... But, even more awkward. Anyways, it's payback time with some hotter girls hopefully, although that might be a little awkward at the backpacker's hostel. But, I do remember some TFC girls all up in my business at Shoeless Joe's last May. Although, there is no way in hell we are ever going to be allowed in there again. The clubs in Toronto were not bad (minus some crazy ass techno music). Anyways, I'm sure the regular population is a safer and hotter bet if we can see still by 10 o'clock that night. For whatever reason I find Toronto females to be much more aggressive, might be the cold weather and ugly dudes. I just hope I'm not passed out by night time, whenever we leave is when I usually crack my first beer. I'm nuts for going on this as grad. finals start Monday. I'm going to need complete silence on the bus so I can study. j/k
Btw, what banners are we taking? I kind of took a week off on that front after this last mammoth one. If we can take stuff in, I could make something small on Friday night if anyone wants to join in. I still have plenty of paint. We were thinking about having a meeting that night anyways maybe. Just if anyone has a real brillant idea. Otherwise, I'm just going to enjoy myself and not worry about demostrations for a week or two. We should take a couple of banners either way though, even though it's kind of crap that the only railing to hang them on is behind us. Hate how they put away support in the back corner without a railing in front of them. Also Thoma I think has most of the good ones and he isn't even in Columbus.
i paid for 2 tickets on this trip but my bud bailed, if anyone is going solo and wants to join me, pm me and we can work out the details
Were allowed to have poles in Toronto? I guess I could bring at least the two sticks directed at Toronto since I still have a bunch. Better than nothing. Would look good with the checkered flag. I especially like Thoma's one with the construction guy with the drill (I have all of his too). Heck, maybe I'll bring a good bunch of them (maybe like 10-20 of the best top notch ones). Everyone on this trip is more with it then some of the fans who didn't hold them up correctly last time. Better than holding up nothing. May make one more thing Friday night. I have a bunch of paint. So one king size sheet is only 13. So, I can make something else. Maybe just "Nordecke On Tour" or something Crew related to hang up behind us since we probably don't have access to Thoma's banners. Probably won't make anything too slanted towards Toronto (the sticks I have are pretty PC) because Toronto fans starting arguing with us over healthcare last May. Wth? And something else lame in September. They get mad over just about anything for the sake of getting mad over it. Last two times there was just one guard up there. So, no reason to give them excuses to start WWIII. We should all be ourselves and be f'in loud. And, I know we will actually probably be even louder with a little less people then last September since this is virtually all supporters and not many families. Was like 60/40 last time. This will be a good time. Especially with the law of averages, a team this good can't go without a win for much longer.
Crewbeat, you sure your allowed to bring that? Or we are allowed to bring banners? From the think Blake sent. Prohibited items: Umbrellas, outside F&B, Metal or Glass containers of any kind, backpacks and large bags over 14x14x6 inches, these bags are subject to search, large flags, banners, drums, noisemakers, aerosol cans (ie: hairspray, silly string, etc.), bikes, inline skates, skateboards, scooters, shoes w/ wheels, bicycle and motorcycle helmet, Frisbees, inflated balls of any kind, unapproved pamphlets, handouts, advertisements, flares, smoke bombs, sparklers or fireworks of any kind, laser pointers, pets, weapons of any kind, any missile/projectile like objects, illegal drugs and any illegal substances, masks**, professional cameras or A/V equipment. ** Mask will be allowed to be worn in your seats only. We ask that they are removed at all other times
From talking to Kevin earlier this week my understanding is that we have permission to bring drums/flags/etc type items that are on the list above if we bring them in early. This is standard procedure at most places.
The weather looks to be a bit better than last time... From weather.com May 2 SaturdayMore clouds than sun. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 40s.
