Argofans.com Meetup and Football game - October 28th??

[Mulder]

Put forth suggestions and dates. I would say something for this weekend would be out of the cards.

I'll be in the big smoke for the next 4 weekends, a bit somewhat my time limited.

October 13th - 14th weekend
- May beable to swing 13th early, around 10am?
14th game day. I have little interest in running around before the game.

October 20th - 21st. Weekend seems free and clear.
Could we do Saturday before the CFL games, hit up a bar and watch them? Montreal vs Sask, Calgary vs Hamilton.
Sunday also works.

October 27th-28th.
Probably going to end up at the last regular season game at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Busy that night with T-Bone at a halloween party.
Sunday works!

[gilthethrill]

Wish I could make the trip for those games though Mulder, thanks for taking the time to set something up.

Sunday mornings with the exception of the 14th work for me. I have my league games on Saturdays, so can't play on a Saturday.

[ArgoGabe22]

Guys lets keep this on topic. I just want to play football! Start a new thread or go in the PM route.

As for times Sunday mornings (Oct 21) would be best for me. Renting something costs like $200/hour.

[argotom]

As for a meeting for us posters, that would be great and on an annual basis, however the logistics?
How about Grey Cup week?

[Mulder]

LOL!!! I was not going to go there.

Count me in. Vanier Cup sounds great.

Gabe I don't have class any day of the week. Does anyone have tickets for that game? I plan on taking the GO Train to Union, should be there around noon or so....Getting excited!

[LLB997]

I'll be in Toronto all Grey Cup week, Vanier Cup sounds pretty cool. If something concrete is put together , count me in.

[ArgoGabe22]

Bump. Oct 21 anyone?

Well with the amount of posters posting about this, looks like you won't be missing anything.

[Mulder]

I can see it now! AngeloV drops back to pass, fakes to ArgoTom, going looooong for Mulder! Intercepted! ArgoGabe22 with the Interception!

Only because you probably would break your pattern off.

More like Mulder went 55 yards down field expecting a Micheal Bishop bomb and was heavily under thrown.

I can't even see 55 yards down field anymore, let alone throw it.

I thought only ref's were blind! Hopefully we can get more interest this week!

[AngeloV]

I'm good to go. The only problem I see would be finding a field that everyone could get to, and hoping it isn't being used. Last thing you want is to get on a field and have some group with a permit kick you out.

[Argocister]

Would be cool if you guys could get onto BMO field...... Headlines: Argofans dragged off deserted BMO field "You aren't supposed to play football here"".... or "Police break into scrimmage rather than remove Argofans from BMO "
:o

[T-Bone]

Any suggestions on locations?
Trinity Bellwoods Park (http://maps.google.ca/maps?rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Trinity+Bellwoods&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=Trinity+Bellwoods&cid=0,0,286861246592677307&sa=X&ei=JLp2UOLxA4W89gT52YDADA&ved=0CJIBEPwSMAc) or Garrison Common Park (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Garrison+Common+Park&hl=en&sll=43.641231,-79.373045&sspn=0.044908,0.076818&hq=Garrison+Common+Park&t=m&z=16)

Trinity Bellwoods was my first choice, Abit no football field. During my search on google maps there is actually very little in the way of Canadian football fields for public use, most are at schools.

[Mulder]

My first choice for an actual football field would be St Mikes College School. Right at St Clair West Subway station.

Pretty sure the field has a gate which is locked up when not in use. It is a beautiful field turf surface though. There is a rugby field off Eastern Ave. (south side) just west of Coxwell. I rarely see it being used when I drive by.

Ashbridges Bay area. Easy to get to from anywhere really on a Sunday morning. It's not out of the way, but I've always though it's an under utilized part of Toronto

Looks like there is Sunnybrook Park, Just north of Eglinton and West of DVP.

Upper Canada College looks like he has a field too with no fence all the way around. If that's possible

[argotom]

I am starting to get in shape.
The tire is hanging in the backyard and I can still throw the foosball without touching the sides.
Send me in coach.

[T-Bone]

I would say Trinity Bellwoods Park (http://maps.google.ca/maps?rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Trinity+Bellwoods&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=Trinity+Bellwoods&cid=0,0,286861246592677307&sa=X&ei=JLp2UOLxA4W89gT52YDADA&ved=0CJIBEPwSMAc) and Woodbine Park (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Woodbine+Park&hl=en&sll=43.645543,-79.413647&sspn=0.011226,0.019205&gl=ca&hq=Woodbine+Park&t=m&z=16) are the two best options presented so far. Woodbine is a little bit harder to get to by transit than Trinity Bellwoods.

[matchuk]

there is an artifical turf soccer field around cherry beach....pretty sweet field actually.....its on unwin road, east of cherry street....no gates or locks

Need permit though. That costs $40.79 per hour

true...although there are 2 fields, and we use them quite often, never aving a permit and never getting bothered....

Interesting. I wouldn't mind checking them out then.

Worse case is we jump back into our cars and head over to Woodbine Park (one AngeloV suggested)

[gilthethrill]

It is really killing me knowing there is a game going on & I am unable to attend.

[ArgoGabe22]

Never work Sundays and for some odd reason they schedule me for the 21st in the morning. Looks like I'm out but not sure 2 vs 2 was very ideal. Hopefully more members will be pumped up to play after a big win vs montreal.

[gilthethrill]

I heard Chris Runge on the pregame show yesterday talking about the Grey Cup festivities...he said there will be a football field in downtown T.O. where the skating rink is at city hall? Mentioned football would be played there all week, I assume by fans...anyone want to get into a game on Friday of Grey Cup week?

Now that sounds like a plan. If we can't get enough players off of here then we can just pull a Jim Barker and get guys off of the street to play.

Tom, you also have to go through the tire, not just miss it.

[AngeloV]

I take it there wasn't enough interest to get out this Sunday?

[Mulder]

doesn't look like it, there would have been 5 of us. ArgoGabe had to cancel due to work. Sadly.

OK cool. I would have had to juggle around some things to be able to make it, but I would have if the game was on.

[johnnyice]

Entourage from Sarnia & Fredericton will be in the big smoke Fri aft. Will pay attention to this thread for a possible ' beer & handshake '

[Mulder]

If there is enough interest, I'll be there.

[ArgoGabe22]

I'll have to see my work schedule, they've lately been changing it a lot unexpectedly.

[Mulder]

Ok, I changed the thread title. I'll try and generate some Interest. This could will be fun!
