Pre-Game Meeting
The Pre-Game Meeting will occur at the Peel Pub (1196 Peel Street - 514 844 7296 - http://www.peelpub.com) and McLean's Pub (a few doors down at 1210 Peel Street - 514 392 7770 - http://www.mcleanspub.com). The official start time will be 1 pm though a few Voyageurs may arrive earlier than this. Everyone try to arrive as early as possible, we want to make this a big success and show our presence downtown. The intial arrivals should go to the Peel Pub. We have the second floor reserved for us and they are going to make a big table along one wall (once enough of us are there). They can accomodate between 80 and 100 of us and once they start to fill up I will start sending people to McLean's where we will also have the second floor. Very Important: No Minors are allowed in the Peel Pub but they are allowed in McLean's up to 8 pm as long as they are accompanied by an adult. If people with minors are arriving early, I will make sure to send some others to McLean's so you are not alone. McLean's will have a beer special for us, a three litre beer tower for $22.
The March
I would like the march to start at 18:15. We will meet at Place du Canada, a park very near the bars . We will march along Peel street, turn right on Ste. Catherine and march to the McGill metro station. We will then try to all take the same subway to Pie IX metro station. If this is not possible the first group to arrive at Pie IX will wait for the next group. From Pie IX metro station we will then march together through the Olympic Park to Stade Saputo. We have been notified by the CSA that we will be able to take our flagpoles and other paraphenalia into Stade Saputo. Those who have tickets at the box office to pick up, please wait until the march is officially over before getting in the ticket pickup line. I do not want the march to start breaking up just as we are arriving at the stadium where we want to really make a good display. If you are able to get pickup your tickets earlier so much the better.
Post-Game Meeting
I will confirm this in the next day or two, but the post-game meeting will likely be at McLean's.
Key Points
- Try and buy your Metro Tickets beforehand. We don't want to be waiting at the station while 50 guys buy Metro tickets. They cost $2.75 or are 6 for $12.
- Minor's must go to McLean's, they are not permitted at Peel Pub.
- It is preferrable for people in groups to pay as a group. It will make it easier for bar staff and also speed up how fast we can leave the bar. Try and pay a bit before the TFC game ends so we can leave quickly.
- Do not leave the march until it is officially ended. We need a big show of unity at the stadium more than anywhere else.
