Nope, not too late. I should have some for you. But you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Note on 127 issue. That was resolved. There are no Peru supporters trying to take over 127. There are going to be a lot of Peru supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Where are these supporters coming from? Are a lot of Peruvians coming up from the States? Yes, many coming up from the states and the entire Latin American soccer league is for some reason supporting Peru and bought a large block. WTF. Should find out more about this... I am curious about numbers and how it came to be. The rationalization behind it.. I mean I can guess.. but like to actually hear it. Unleash the bloggers? I could have sold at least 40 tickets to Peru supporters and those are just the ones trying to buy through the Canadian supporters site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Oh boy...are we gonna have crowd trouble at BMO? I really hope not but if there are Peruvians in the south end, it could get a bit nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-collins Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Where's CSA promotions in all this? Shouldn't they be riding the coattails of CBC's massively successful broadcasting of the WC a la "the road to 2014 starts here"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodelcitizen Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'd like a few in 114, who should I talk to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't expect any problems. With the exception of one person, and it was minor at best, all the people I have spoken to are exactly the kind of people we want. They are going to the Peru game but would like to come out to other Canada games. I have had three people say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Southend is reserved for us Voyageurs. Speaking of which, is that section completely sold out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Not entirely ideal, but i guess it's a start... I think it's fantastic. They expressed interest in supporting Canada, and it was the first they had heard of such a thing. We are only scratching the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I feel like there is a good story behind this Not really, I was talking about the guy that wanted to 'take over' 127. He didn't even know there were Peru supporters sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The Southend is reserved for us Voyageurs. Not quite. Only three sections in the south are, plus 127 in the NW corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgkiss Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 i'm prolly gonna grab about 15-20 tickets. however, i wanna get them in a block (square) and not in a row. and i will be bringing my wife, kids and neighbours and their kids (older) and some others too. so... i wanna be in the supporters section BUT i wanna make sure my kids can see etc so, any suggestions as to where it might be best to sit? we will all be wearing red/cmnt jersies and cheering but maybe not to the level as when i am solo (with buddies).

That sounds great. PM me your email and I will get you an order form, it will be a bit cheaper. The section will be practically general admission. You will be able to move and find a way for the kids to see. There is no way to guarantee a block, but it is unlikely to be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy blocks of tickets through the OSA for a discounted price (similar to our deal). I imagine OSA-registered clubs would have gotten a heads up on this, and there's no particular password or anything needed to purchase tickets. This is gonna be ugly, no question. It's such a tricky spot for us to be in. On the one hand, I realize that acting like a complete jackass will only serve to alienate Canadians in Peru jerseys who, if we were playing anyone other than Peru, might be on our side. So taking a "ha ha, it's all in good fun, let's be pals" approach is, ultimately, the best way to help Canadian soccer, even if it stings right now. On the other hand, I will have to use every ounce of restraint I possess to stop myself from hurling drunken insults at them. I just know it.

gator Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've been away so I've missed some of this stuff, am I reading this right that there will be Peru supporters in the South stands? That is a VERY bad idea IMHO, they have their own designated sections and if they choose to be in the home supporters sections nothing good will come of it! I hope I'm wrong!

It will happen but most likely out of totally not knowing what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
