CanadasBest Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The lounge at Traveller's Inn City Center is a soccer friendly facility, but they have just small screens. There's also the game in Iceland in August as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I suppose this thread should go into the new 'Voyageurs' forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be Voyageurs business whereas something like this is specifically about watching the national team. I think posts like this would get lost and ignored by newcomers or casual fans who drop by looking for a gathering to watch a senior team game.

CanadasBest Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 We should set up a Victoria Facebook group to post events and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it would catch people's attention sure, but this forum is where we should be arranging the details. You will have to do it however as I'm not on Facebook and don't really need yet another online community thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 quote:Originally posted by Sigma If the game is on television... From Gerry Dobson's latest blog: "Soccercentral will be there for you as well. We'll have highlights, as well as features. We'll cover Toronto and Major League Soccer on a weekly basis. We'll also dive into the Canadian Soccer Association on a regular basis to try and keep them on their toes. Don't forget, we'll be broadcasting their matches as well. Next up is the Costa Rica game at BMO Field in September." Not sure how much Gerry really knows but this might mean that Sportsnet is showing the Costa Rica game but not the Iceland game.

Less than a week to go and the game is not on their TV schedule. I guess I should remove the Iceland game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Well then, maybe there should bea subforum in the Voyageurs category for "National team TV gatherings" or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Ted, Geoff- your scarves are in victoria. i'll bring them to the costa rica meeting, or let me know if you want them sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Sounds fine to me. I just sent the cheque in the mail to Jarrek this weekend so maybe by then it will actually have been paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadasBest Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 That's a good question. Shouldn't be hard to find a place as game time is rather early, 4:00 our time. Is everyone going to be able to make an early time like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we good with "your place" ie: Traveller's Inn City Center Lounge? They won't kick us out and they have food right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I will find out what the schedule is like for next Wednesday at the hotel. There is a possibility that we have a few large groups in that night which the lounge may be pretty packed around dinner time. The food is quite good in the lounge and restaurant and is reasonably priced. The other alternative is the Shark Club on Douglas and Hillside. There won't be a problem getting a table there for 4PM. I'll call them tomorrow and see if they will be able to put the game on the big screen for us if the lounge is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Ok, we do indeed have a large group at our hotels next week so I wouldn't recommend our lounge. I have managed to get us a table at Shark Club in front of the big screen for 4PM. Brennan Fan are you going to be able to make it? What about Mad Cap Mac? Haven't heard from Drew in a long time. Also Paddy, are you coming? The more the merrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
