Ben Knight Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 What if everyone wore their Canada colours to the Costa Rica game -- it's not the team we're mad at, after all? -- but carried blank black signs or banners? No words, no logos -- just black. One giant plain black banner would certainly get attention up in the press box! (I'll be wearing black, by the way.)

YOU look good in black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealGooner Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Im thinking we cover the entire South Stand railing in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The problem with a banner is that it is easy for the powers that be, who will be monitoring these threads closely, to confiscate at the gate. They can't turn away every person in a black t-shirt, however, without making themselves look ridiculous. Still think red cards held up by fans could send a message as well. It worked well in a Scottish Cup final many moons ago when Maggie Thatcher showed up to present the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobiiiiiiiilio Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 get a plan and stick too it....this sounds like the CSA Board of Directors trying to get something done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just to clarify the red cards would be in addition to and not in place of the black t-shirts. Easy to distribute at places like Shoeless Joe's and U-sector's clubhouse before the games and to pass out once inside. We (RPB) had a guy do something similar with yellow bristol board at a TFC game earlier this season and it worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Knight Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Okay, wear the colours and wave the cards. Love it. What about an anti-CSA tifo? At a pre-arranged point, everyone puts on the black shirts, and chants "CSA Out!" for five minutes on the clock. Get in behind the sideline TV reporters at halftime. I promise you the press box will be watching. There's a lot of angry, frustrated soccer fans up there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I love that Ben is getting involved! Now that is my sort of "Free Press". Good ideas, and keep to it. Somebody should show up as the Grim Reaper with an effigy of some faceless CSA director--a sign hanging from the effigy could read: CSA - RIP 19?? -- 2007. Whatever you do, make some bloody noise!
