Guest Jeffery S. Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I am in Vancouver this month and have tix for the July 9 game. Anyone up for a drink before the match? And after too? Where could it happen, are some of you already in cahoots but would grudgingly put up with a stranger from afar? My problem is that I just don't know anyone, and don't really feel like asking a few hundred people if they would happen to be so and so. Time to get into some good old west coast Toronto bashing.

nolando Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I would meet you before the game but am coming straight from work. Why not stumble down to the southside and meet a bunch of us before the game? It would be fun to put a bunch of differences (and similarities) aside and just put faces to names. TO bashing will be in full effect - come on now, what are they, collecting the an anti-voyageurs Legion of Doom over there with Guevara, Marshall and now rumours of Ruiz - maybe they'll get Wanchope out of retirement - all as they continue to overlook and let go canadians right left and center - i would have felt bad about cheering against Brennan except for the fact that he was acting like such a prick during long stretches of the last game - it should be fun. any word of traveling tfc fans?

Blue and White Army Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Brennan won't be travelling to Vancouver - he picked up his second "Nutrilite" yellow card on Tuesday at BMO. Pity, as I had a couple of clever ditties planned just for him. Jeffrey, the Southsiders are on the south side of the stadium, behind and just east of the goal. Look for the flags on the fencing.

Last time I was here I did just that, walked up to three guys in in front of the flags, and they laughed in my face and insulted the Southsiders. So I was dissuaded from keeping asking.

Vancouver Fan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Blue and White Army So what happened after you stabbed them? Jeffrey, try again.We're the only ones waving flags with poles. Most of us will have the Whitecaps kit too.Also there is usually a meet up in central park on the east side of the stadium at the picnic tables near the parking lot. It'll be good to have you join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'll be going into the ground at 6pm, but as I'm coming from work, I might be able to tailgate from 5:30-6:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there is going to be a visitor's fans section for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yes, it's on the east side. Look for Swangard on Google Maps and you'll see it. We meet by the southern part of the parking lot. I expect a small handful of TFCers... mostly "expats". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Trully bizzare that money was spent for Police to troll around the park for the Montreal match? I suspect more of the same Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Their precedent is the Montreal-Toronto match in which things kicked off, so they're assuming the worst for all Voyageurs Cup matches. Nevermind that there weren't any away supporters at Vancouver-Montreal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ok so the Province paper page A32 has and advert for the game time at 8pm Whitecaps webiste and my game ticket says 7pm .... I wish the whoever is responsible for this Caps/CSA would clean this up as there are going to be alot people who dont have tickets yet that will show up at 7:30 looking to get.

Blue and White Army Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Wow, that's amateur. At least with the last match, if anyone was confused by incorrect kick-off times, they were there an hour early, as opposed to an hour late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and White Army Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Me thinks there be lots of angry fans and half-time refunds tomorrow night. What a great match to print the wrong kick-off times. [}] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just back from Europe and would love to get together pre game tomorrow. I'll make my way over to the picnic tables after work. Probably be there about 5:45ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary Boomer Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 No Brennan, no Dichio, no Dunivant, Tebily or Lombardo. I'd like to know who's starting up front with that lazy goal suck Cunningham? Jarrod Smith? Or will Carver try that 4-3-3 with Robert and Rickets on either side of the striker (which worked so well July 1st). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffery S. Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I called the Caps today and they say it is 7 PM for sure. In the Sun today they post it as 7.30 and list TEAM calling it at that time, no GolTV, in any case the guy at the Caps wondered out loud why the Province and Sun had got it wrong. Are they sure they did not send out a wrong message somewhere? Is the TV slightly tape delayed and that threw them off? Anyways, the Caps office confirms 7 PM! Nice to know that just by meeting the Southsiders for the first time in the parking lot for a tainted mineral water I have a real chance of getting arrested, that is kind of exciting.

Johnnyranger Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This whole cops thing in the park is ridiculous... The backwards thinking in this city really makes me scratch my head... If the Caps are calling for the cops to come out they should do something for us instead, don't curb our enthusiasm and enjoyment of the enitre evening...I know by the letter of the law bevvying in public is illegal. However in the states tailgating is like a rite of passage, When I go to Seahawks games the cops simply ensure you are drinking out of dixie cups...and your mess is picked up, that is all! Who are we hurting by sitting around a picnic table having a beer chatting. It isn't like we are all drooling gooned drunk and cussing out senior citizens and small children passers-by...
