First, I have a couple of videos on the pre-game TFC supporters march to BMO Field. The numbers were quite small compared to supporters marches in the past, but they still brought noise and colour on their way to the stadium.
Here are also some pictures of that same march to BMO Field.
The next picture is of the visiting Montreal Impact supporters. There were a lot more visiting supporters than the picture shows, and they actually outnumbered the TFC supporters in the south stand corner. From where I sat in the first half, I sat closer to the TFC supporters sections, and the Impact supporters out-sang the TFC supporters for large stretches of the 1st half. The only time the TFC supporters were louder was right after Robert Earnshaw scored the only goal of the game. The Impact supporters were more organized and made their voices heard, which you couldn't say about the TFC supporters. That is actually quite embarrassing.

Here are a couple of photos of some banners that were shown at BMO Field.
Here is a photo of the south stand midway through the first half. It's a bit depressing looking at it, knowing that a few years ago, the entire south stand was packed to the rafters. The only way of that ever happening again is if TFC start consistently winning, and I don't think they are capable of that. Notice that sections 112/113 were somewhat full.
Around the 85th minute, Montreal Impact were losing 1-0. The visiting Impact supporters were getting a bit antsy, so they lit up some smoke bombs and flares in the away section of BMO Field. One guy also brought in what seemed like a firecracker or homemade firework. Stadium security wasn't pleased, and rushed in to apprehend the perpetrators. There wasn't much resistance, but the situation could have gotten much worse.
So there you have it, my photos and videos from the TFC/Impact match on October 26th, 2013. Hope you enjoyed it!
