Ozzie_the_parrot Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Do the Forge water the turf before games like you are supposed to with Fieldturf? The ball almost seems to accelerate sometimes when rolling across the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihairokov Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Great effort by Jensen and save by Breza. It hits Breza's hand and spun closer to the post and looked so close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 This game is the first time I have really noticed in a big way why Badibanga is so highly rated but he was a liability defensively on the goal conceded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Didn't see any of the first. Aside from the late flurry of chances Montreal looked the more comfortable side in the 2nd. Both teams can take something from this result, but it puts Montreal in the driver's seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 15k out to watch a game where your team was the clear underdog but played well enough to get a result against an MLS team should win some new fans, no?

longlugan Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Couldn't make it to the game like many due to work but watched all of it on Fubo. Fun game for any neutral. Forge the better team in the first half. Montreal definitely with the advantage for most of the second with their halftime substitutions. Forge's flurry of chances at the end makes them the slightly better team overall but the result puts them in a tough spot going to Montreal. johnyb and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, even if all those kids only paid, say, $10 each Forge still did pretty well on ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihairokov Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) I'm confident the school children did not pay entry. Typically these arrangements are done with schools for free. Schools do not pay thousands to get kids to sports events. Happy to be proven wrong on this.

The Jays do school days where it is all filled through group sales deals, the kids come close and far on subway, buses etc, it is a zoo outside the dome before and after with all the buses pulling up.

Aird25 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I just had it on in the background while working, but it seemed like a pretty even match. Hopefully all those kids enjoyed what they saw. The second leg should be entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools do not pay thousands to get kids to sports events. Happy to be proven wrong on this. I've been involved with a school field trip to a local minor league team's school day in June for several years now. I don't know what arrangements other schools make but for us the kids who want to attend (it's an optional outing) pay the $15 or so for the ticket, which is equivalent to the lowest priced ticket tier for that team. Most come loaded with another $40 or so of mom and dad's money and spend it on overpriced concessions. The team does very well for itself that day. I would be very surprised if any minor league team running such an event was letting kids in for free. What would be the point?
