Fire Supporters Bulletin
v Toronto FC @ 7.30p

Match Crew advises all Fire supporters attending the match Saturday to arrive as early as possible. Several events planned will require fans to arrive early to ensure that they can be a part of them.

TAILGATING (STARTS AT 4.30p)
The supporters' tailgating area is located southwest corner of the north lot, near Gate B. If you cannot park near this area, please walk over and you will be welcomed to join. URS plans their usual mass cookout, Last Ward is bringing kegs, WCW is bringing three buses, and other groups and individuals will be tailgating nearby. Look for the tents!

MATCH CREW SETUP (STARTS AT 4.30p)
Match Crew will be entering the stadium at 4.30p to conduct setup (flags/banners/display) for the match, and will leave upon finishing to enjoy the tailgate. If interested in assisting, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ASAP.

EARLY ENTRY (APPROX. 6.45p)
Since weather has washed out our previous attempts -- the main tailgates will shut down at 6.45p promptly to move everyone into the stadium and standing in 117/118 so that we may be at full throat for warmups and prepared for the display. Please do your best, if you feel you will want additional time to drink/eat/tailgate, to arrive earlier than you normally would to allow for that and still be able to come in at 6.45p with the rest. Match Crew urges all fans to be IN THE STADIUM at 6.45p.

TIFO DISPLAY (IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO KICKOFF)
Weather permitting, Ultras Red-Side is planning a choreographed tifo display after the national anthems. The participation of all fans in 117/118 and adjacent sections is needed. DO NOT MOVE YOUR SEAT CARD. Wait for instructions from the capos and section leaders on when to use your card, there will be a progression of elements to the tifo display so it's important that you wait for the cue.

FLAGS AND BANNERS
Flags and banners are encouraged from all fans, including outside of 117/118. Flags and banners may be on a PVC pole of any length, one to a person. If there are any issues with flag entry, please inform Match Crew or a Fire/Stadium staff member.

TICKETS
Those ordering tickets in advance should remember to pick up theirs from Will Call as early as possible to avoid lines. The new S8 matchday ticketbooth is at Gate B, immediately adjacent to the supporters tailgating area. Please buy tickets before coming to the stadium, there is no guarantee tickets will be available on-site either in 117/118 or elsewhere in the stadium.

ADDITIONAL WARNING
About 250 visiting fans will be attending Saturday's match and will be located in Section 134. Do not approach that corner of the stadium, and stay clear of their gathering place in the East lot. Be on the lookout for anyone coming to the Harlem End of the Stadium wearing Toronto gear, and be vigilant with flags and banners, do not let them fall out of your hands.

AS ALWAYS, come loud and ready.

Thanks,
The Match Crew
