Groups band together as TFC pushes code of conduct after tasteless banner was raised.
As Toronto FC vied to take sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference Wednesday night, BMO Field’s usually boisterous Southend Supporters section was noticeably hushed.
The lack of noise wasn’t because the Reds could only manage a dull 0-0 tie against Orlando City SC. The silence stemmed from supporter group Inebriatti. In recent weeks, it has silently protested a clause in the club’s code of conduct that it believes leaves fan groups exposed to sanctions from Toronto FC’s front office for incidents they can’t control.
