Trillium Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just a comment ... last Wednesday at the games end.. his hommage to the fans.. clapping to them and then jumping the advert boards to shake hands with the Ultras was a class act, we need more of that as the Impact players go forward, I would hope the other players and the management begin to realize how important it is to acknowledge the core fans... Liminiatas should be sending his team out as group to acknowledge the fans... at home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 See the Whitecaps vs Minnesota match report at www.bcsoccerweb.com for photos of the Whitecaps players thanking and shaking hands with the Southsiders after the game on Friday. I really hope the Southsiders can not only maintain but continue to develop the good relationship with the club that they managed to re-establish during this season thanks to the efforts of a couple of rightminded leaders from the group.

Seb of Mtl Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 yes but the impact players think they are big timers!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, it was great to finally see the Whitecaps players come over the acknowledge/appreciate the Southsiders last night. It's been years since it last happened like that (e.g. the entire squad coming over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Braz also comes over to the Ultras but he and Jordan are the only ones. I wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with the relationship between the club and the ultras. Note that the Caps players only started doing this again after the recent improvement in relations between the Caps and the Southsiders. I am hopeful that our relationship is going to get better and that next season the players will acknowledge their most dedicated fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpenza Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The whole team came and saluted us after the Joe Public game. They tend to do that only when they win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, when the supporters are in good voice the team should thank them whether they win or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpenza Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Oh but I fully agree with you. I just wanted to piont out that they did come to us after the previous CL game that's all. Maybe someone told them not to do that afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more so if you have really played your heart out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed its really classy to thank fans after a loss, considering the first thing they want to do after a loss is to get off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the impact saluted us after the loss to TFC, I'm not sure though, i don't remember the last 30 or so minutes, we were having too much fun.
