    It was nice to see 25K at BMO for an argos game especially after I saw that 'NO ARGOS AT BMO FIELD' banner hanging on top of a crossbridge above don valley parkway on my way to the game. felt like a hate message as a cfl fan.

    good luck at the game. i'll be at the shipyard Saturday and the flutie bros band gig at the VIP tailgate sunday

    I'd say the people who hung that banner either a) have way too much time on their hands, b) are the type who will try and ruin other peoples fun (cowardly, anonymous bullies, in other words - I'd have more respect for them if they'd at least stood with the banner, but alas, no) or c) just need to grow up. Probably a combination of all three. Certainly not a reflection of all TFC fans, I'm sure, and certainly not going to ruin my memories of what was a truly fantastic day for Argo fans.

    These fans are the "inebriatti" (sp?). They sitting down in front of section 115. I have TFC tickets in 114. These guys are fools. They've been reprimanded by the team in the past and have held protest. They are the ones who lead the anti-Argo movement. They are ignorant to their own fans too. Best to ignore them but I've considered wearing my Argos jersey to TFC games a few times haha

    Absolutely right to condemn and then ignore them. They are self-serving idiots who way over value their own importance to TFC.

    That banner in no way represents all or even few TFC fans. Its that of the Inebriatti and the Inebriatti only.

    Nice to hear that, as I suspected, these are the actions of a few. On a positive note, what was your take away from your first Argo game?

    Yes, most intelligent TFC fans disaprove. They DO however, influence the casual attendee and even media (there's been positive articles remarking how cool they are, or their name at least). I have stopped attending TFC games. If they are such a-holes and are allowed to continue to demonstrate so (see Montreal BJ sign), then MLSE or even better, the MAJORITY of TFC fans should force MLSE to end their exsistence at games. I will not return until so, and I encourage others the same until something is done.

    The obnoxious sign was undoubtedly place there by a TFC fan group called the Inebriatti. It's a group with a short but interesting history:
    .The Sun reported, security cameras showed they were involved in the display of a disgraceful banner of a woman performing oral sex on a man.
    .They were responsible for creating the "No Argos@BMO" protest movement.
    .They were banned from attending a game in Montreal in 2016, because of the apparent damage they caused at a previous game.
    .There was a power struggle between Inebriatti and TFC front office following disciplinary action imposed by the TFC front office
    .The group obstinately refuses to accept that the city owned BMO stadium should ever have the Argos as tenants.
    .But most importantly, they don't represent the majority of the TFC fans

    The last point is most significant. Now that it has been demonstrated that the field (pitch) is not being compromised by the presence of the Argos, most TFC fans appear to be graciously accepting the stadium now legitimately hosts both TFC and the Argos. Hopefully the influence of this adolescent like group, will wane over time. There is no reason the two fan groups can't accept and support each other.

    It makes me wonder if former Toronto mayor David Miller is a founding member.
