As you know on March 7th Toronto FC will be hosting the L.A Galaxy in the CONCACAF Champions League quarter finals, first leg, and rather than at BMO Field, it's going to be at the Rogers Centre. With tickets sold reportedly creeping towards the 50,000 mark, there should be plenty of fans there that are new to this TFC supporting thing, and maybe dear reader, that means you.

The Supporters Groups will as always be doing their thing, but in order to ensure that Toronto FC has a strong home field advantage, we are counting on everyone to contribute, so if you fall into that "new supporter" category, a) welcome, have fun, then please come back for more games, and b) here are some things you can do to participate:

Visually.

Wear Red (just not a Man Utd shirt with number 7 and you know who on the back).

Bring your scarf. Make a banner. Bring a flag. Toronto FC, Canada, or your own creation, bring your flags and wave them proudly.

This sort of thing doesn't really happen any more at BMO Field, but for this game, streamers will be back. You can buy them very cheaply at your friendly neighbourhood dollar store, so bring lots of red or white streamers and let loose after the national anthem or after Toronto FC scores.

Verbally.

Speaking of O Canada, despite this being an international competition, the anthem won't get formally played, so it'll be just the supporters going a capella, which is always better anyway. This will commence immediately following the cheesy Concacaf anthem which plays as the players walk out. Look to the south end and when you see the supporters with scarves held up, you'll know they're about to start. You know the words, let's hope we can all go at the same speed

There should be a chant sheet available to you with some of the more popular songs you will hear at a Toronto FC match, join the supporters in singing chants and songs as the game progresses or you can always start your own, no need to be shy. Some of the chants are simple enough to catch on to very quickly (T-F-C, clap-clap-clap, T-F-C, clap-clap-clap), but others are more complicated and by the time you've figured out what it is the supporters are actually saying they might well have moved on. To avoid that and be able to fully get in the spirit of things, after the jump there's lyrics and video of a few chants you will be sure to hear. Feel free to learn and participate.

Some of the videos linked are from TFC games, some are of other clubs doing it to give you an idea of what it should sound like. The last one? well that's something I've seen discussed on supporters groups message boards as something new to try this year, that I really really hope takes off.

The TFC Massive

(usually sung from one section to another)

TFC Bounce

(usually sung when winning)

They built the house on Lakeshore for the Reds, the Reds

We’ll never stop 'til we won the cup, we said, we said

And when you see us, it’s plain to see

Toronto’s the greatest in history

and the Reds go marching on to victory

(repeat again with La’s and jumping until last line)

...and the Reds go marching on to victory

Just Cant Get Enough

(usually sung after a goal)

When I see Toronto, I go out of my head

I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

All the things you do to me and all the things you said

I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough

We slip and slide when we fall in love

and I just can’t seem to get enough of...

(Repeat with Doo’s and jumping)

There's plenty more out there but those are some of the ones you're more likely to hear. So there you go, no excuses for unpreparedness now. For the first time at home we've got a roof, let's make it loud.
