Well, that was fun wasn't it?
I thought the Rose and Crown treated supporters very well. Only a few people telegraphed that they were only there for the free bus. We didn't have the issues some have mentioned about parking, but the bus did drop us off in the wrong entrance, and we had to lug our stuff across Spruce Meadows and through the one and only entrance. But it turns out that may have saved us a lot of time...
The transportation on the way back felt like it took 2 hours though. If that is going to be the case then I may have to miss out on weeknight games.
Biggest logistics issue for me at games are the lack of washrooms for the South end. If they have closed off the player entrance you have to walk around the entire stadium, and out to the plaza, to go.
Crowd was dead at kickoff, but it seems that as the game went on, they got into the spirit of things a little more. Two Cavalry players were actually helping us with chants at the start. People seemed to get into the simple chants in the second half, and the noise that was made from the stand by kicking those aluminium pieces really helped. Loved the smoke bombs, but I'm not surprised that those people were kicked out. I've already had that battle with the front office; the league doesn't want them.
