squizz1402635577 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Having done this myself four years ago, I'd be interested to know how many blank/confused stares or expressions of outright hostility you guys end up getting. Fewer than I did, I'm hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key difference is "Join The Supporters Section" This is something that many people who are regulars to TFC games will understand, and may take the opportunity to join at a Canada game.

Fewer than I did, I'm hoping. Had great response to the 100 or so i gave out at Croc Roc before the TFC v LA game. It only takes a few conversions each time to make a difference. I got one new person to the Ecuador game and they have brough 5-10 out for every game since. Plus I work in customer service all day so I'm used to having people abuse me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several hundred supporters is not typical of the overall attendance at a TFC game. Also, watch out for the GO cops if you're going to be around the tunnel.

Well, they do suck. But that's the point. Don't just support your country when times are good and our junior hockey team is beating South Sudan 75-0.

Razcle Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Since the world is now connected and things go viral in milliseconds, I am wondering if someone can create a single page advertisement and a shortened email we can send to our casual friends inviting them out to all games in Toronto. I know everytime I do this, I get at minimum 10 friends and acquaintances out to the games. If we all do this, the stadium will be a sellout for early and the atmosphere will be electric like the TFC game at Skydome or the Jamaica 2007 WCQ. Can anyone that has some talent writing put together an email with an attached flyer that we can mass spam our Eastern Canada friends with to get the stadium and supporters section crammed with Canadians? I suggest we start a new thread with the email and flyer and get everyone to post when they have sent it out to their Friends. Comments/suggestions?

Razcle Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 $*Sample email Hey Everyone, 2012 Has already been a historic year for Canadian soccer with 3 Major League Soccer teams from the top 3 markets competing in the premier soccer league for the first time this decade. The Canadian women having qualified for the Olympics and the men currently in good position to qualify for the Olympics as well. Toronto FC became the first Canadian team to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League with an electric Skydome sell-out game in early March that was front Page News across the province. This year also marks World Cup 2014 Qualifying, and for those fortunate to live in Southern Ontario, all 3 matches will be at BMO field on the exhibition grounds in Toronto. There is also a warm-up game against the USA which proves to be anything but friendly. *Dates and times *tickets *contacts I hope to see you all out there whether it is your first time to the pitch or are a hardened veteren, we need your support to make our home a fortress against the others trying to take our World Cup spot away from us. We are Canadian. Let's show the rest of the world we are not as friendly and accommodating when you come to our home to take away our World Cup birth. Signed.
