i'd be in and i could likely convince my brother to play as well. What time? is this going to be like a flashmob deal?

Friday afternoon is our CFLFFC Fundraiser at Badali's. It's from 12:30-3:30pm. Perhaps afterwards?!?!

How long of a walk is it to Nathan Phillips square from say Front st area? If we don't get enough players from this forum, I have a suspicion there will be other football fans in Toronto that day..I will bring a football & a coachable attitude.

I'll be at the alumni luncheon and then off to Badali's. Field might be crowded with kids, earlier might be better (schooltime) but that'll be a problem with the other events. I'm in, whatever time we can agree on i'll get there somehow.

this might be something that we have to book the field for which is impossible now. Too bad the Argos didn't ask us if we closed the field for an hour, would argofans members want exclusive use of it. Nice appreciation gesture.

Anyway, this I hope happens but easier said than done.

Earlier start time (like 11am) might be better. The field was pretty busy when I was there Sunday evening. Would expect even more people there on Friday.

I'm game for after the CFL Fans Fight Cancer Thing. It hasn't been crazy busy down there yet. But that may change by Friday.

Anyone got a good time in mind? I don't want to show at 4pm and be the only one. It might just be me and Rob Ford 1v1.

I may show up after 4pm...With Mayor Ford's innovative roll out and down....he could QB a one on one between us. I have to confess after dinner that I'm starting to show my age, and am not controlling the waistline as I should...Nowhere near Rob Ford level, but I better devote my Sunday Afternoons to getting some more exercise after Grey Cup Sunday.:shhhh:

I know there is scheduled events at the field. But I'm going to say Friday at 4 Oclock. I'll be there. If we can't play there, we'll decide somewhere else!

Who else is in!

My plans have been altered..not able to make it to Toronto Friday (watch Vanier Cup at home), but will be there Saturday late morning.....you guys who are there Friday, have a good game if you secure the playing field.

I never knew they had youth leagues on this field. Kinda bummed not sure who else was thereGreat idea that they got youth leagues down there....this is what'll make the events memorable for these kids.

I just got back from work so I could not make it for 4, but I do intend to go down to see some festivities and get to the Vanier Cup....anyone going, as it should be a great game.
