BigBird Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Was wondering of those who will be attending the game on June 7th - who is available to 'officially' speak for the Voyageurs to the media.

TFCRegina Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 We are for sure. The whole family is going to see both games see you guys there. LittleBird is coming as well? Glad to hear. Too bad he isn't with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's got any Gold Cup experience as to the rules around drums, flagpoles etc let me know! I strongly encourage people to bring down drums and whatnot for the game. From what I hear (I live in Detroit), security has been directed to only ban vuvuzelas and flares / explosives. You might want to get in touch with Ford Field, or at least get in early, to make sure you don't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grigorio Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Tryin to help a Voyager get their drum into Ford Field tomorrow. Not trolling So I just gave Ford Field a call and they said that the list of prohibited items is the same as what it is for Lions games. The lady said she's had a lot of calls about horns, etc and there was a bit on the news about what is and isn't allowed. Doesn't seem like a drum is worth the risk... Gonna be the first game it misses though, I'm sure it won't be too happy about being left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aren't you nice... Kinda takin the fun out of this whole "rivalry" thing aren't you? Pardon my apprehension, but I'm more used to getting bottles, beer and fight propositions thrown my way from other countries supporters rather than helpful offers to smuggle in tools to support the competition!

Grigorio: I'll vouch for Dichio TFC as I know him from one of the TFC supporters groups. I'm sure they have the same issues with opposing supporters (e.g. Hondurans) as we've had. Having said that, I refuse to acknowledge his existence tomorrow until after the match. :-) See you guys there tomorrow at Elwood or wherever the heck we are meeting before the game.

LOL the rivalry / thrown beer bottles / fighting is for the 90'. Before the game and after the game, we drink together. If it eases your apprehension, know that I'm a Canadian citizen Anyhoo, I've been looking into your dilemma and a lot of the AO supporters are getting thrown off by the noisemakers policy as well. I would say bring your drum anyways and try to get it in - nothing ventured, nothing gained. And if you need a place to store it during the match, I'll be parked a couple blocks away from Ford Field.

I know I'm going to regret throwing a beer bottle at him right after I throw it.. I'll do my best to make sure its either Molson or Labatt, deal? The supporter problem in the US is just as pronounced as it is Canada. I went to US-Brazil last year at the Meadowlands. 80,000 seat stadium sold out - 90-95% were Brazil supporters. So yeah, both countries are struggling to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villus Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What time are people meeting at Elwood and is there anything planned to walk over to the game together? Are people going to watch the early game or just get blackout drunk then walk over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Another piece of Gold Cup 2000 "porn" to get the crew excited: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/blogs/jasondevos/2011/06/gold-cup-memories-still-fresh.html In fact, according to the tournament media guide, we shouldn't even have been there. According to the guide, Canada would be lucky to score a goal in the Gold Cup, let alone win a game. Before our opening game, I read what had been written about my team, and then promptly threw the media guide in the bin in disgust. Great article, and I find myself recalling JdV Tweeted a while ago: When things like this happen, I remember the look on Jack Warner's face when he handed us the Gold Cup in 2000..... Warner was furious that we managed to win a tournament and T&T didn't. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Getting really pumped up for this game. I seriously think we have a chance to take something off of them. As long as the midfield doesn't lose its shape for 20 minutes at the start of the second half, like it tends to do in just about every game, I feel good.

Lurker Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Walter Lopez from Guatemala will be the ref - anyone know him? He's going to be the ref in our game against Panama as well... I'm surprised that's even allowed... usually you'd avoid using the same ref more than once in close succession to prevent any animosity. Hopefully we'll be on our best behavior versus the US...

Sam Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 De Guzman apparently out injured for the US game. Not too upset considering he wouldn't have been in my starting XI, but hopefully its only this one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I am one of those here thinking this could be a win. Mental thing. Though I would much prefer to beat them in the final if that is what it comes to. One of our best times to get a result in a long time. Have fun in Detroit those going down, do us proud.

Keegan Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 De Guzman apparently out injured for the US game. Not too upset considering he wouldn't have been in my starting XI, but hopefully its only this one game. Put a fork in him, De Guzman is done. Having said that with De Guzman out I don't think we can afford to start both Dunfield and Johnson as it would be ideal to have one on the bench... Dunfield should start on the bench imo, play Johnson and Hutchinson in the middle, DeRo in front of them, Jackson on the right, Simpson on the left and that magical man Ali G up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
