loyola Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think this was the only compromise they could get. I'm happy with the location and will surely attend this game. Too bad for the people in Toronto are as they will have, like G-L, to take a day off or at least the afternoon to get in time for the game.

masster Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 quote:Originally posted by piltdownman If true it makes its really attractive for Whitecaps supporters to fly out to for the Canada Cup game on the Wednesday. This works out really well for Whitecaps fans. Canada Cup, WCQ and then a weekend to party in Montreal. I won't be in the country however. I'll be at EURO 2008.

nolando Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 well...montreal deserves a game - thought that a small draw (like belize in kingston) might have meant swangard but no such luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto MB Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well...I'm glad we have a "date". As per FIFA's mysterious scheudle planning. I would suspect this one will probably stick though, the timing makes sense given the parties involved. Saputo will be just the right size for this one too. I will undoubtedly be there, the questions is now, how are WE going to mark this imperative date. Time to bring the true support as the unified Vee's. We need to claim an end and make our support the strongest yet. Coast to coast I hope you will join us for June in Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Can. in UK Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 it's a good time for any player coming over from Europe (i.e. in terms of jet lag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of talk I like. Me and the family will be making the trip from Winnipeg, decked in red & white. I also hope to make the Voyageurs Cup match between Vancouver and Montreal on the 17th. TFC's match that weekend may be pushing it, but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to a point, but follow this link: http://www.canadiansporttourism.com/eng_doc.cfm?DocID=6 scroll down, he's the 7th name listed.

Massive Attack Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The TFC home game the next day is at 3:30 pm EST. It looks like I should be able to pull this off and still see both games. So what are some good/cheap hotels near Stade Saputo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto MB Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I had mentioned the possibility of maybe arranging a potential charter/promo fare from Toronto (Island Airport) with Porter Airlines should the game be in Montreal. (I work for Porter) As Friday afternoon.evening is pretty much our busiest scheduled travel time, I don't think I will be able to convince Sales that a bunch of low-budget soccer fans are going to be worth sacrificing the suits for. BUT With the TFC game the next day, I assume there would be all kinds of interest for a morning flight back to downtown Toronto. We land literally within a couple hundred meters of BMO. There is the potential to arrange something from YUL-YTZ on Saturday morning as this is generally a slower period. Is there interest? If so, I can start pitching something to Sales.

jpg75 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Can. in UK it's a good time for any player coming over from Europe (i.e. in terms of jet lag). The team will have been together for atleast 3 weeks at that point and will be flying back from St. VAG after the first qualifier on June 15th in Kingstown. If you're talking about a night game being a good time for jet-lagged Euro players, wouldn't an afternoon game be even better? (ie. their bio clock would think it's evening as opposed to middle of the night) Anyways, i'll be booking the day off and making my way to Montreal on the Friday. Likely driving, but it Toronto MB can set something up with Porter real dirt-cheap i'll consider that too. Getting our own section would rule.
