Toje Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 $50??? Really? That is quite a lot of money, or maybe I am now out of touch with how much it costs to attend sporting events in Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 $50??? Really? That is quite a lot of money, or maybe I am now out of touch with how much it costs to attend sporting events in Canada? Probably has to do with appearance fees for a club like Sporting Lisbon to be playing against a D4 North American club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munseahawk Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Budd Park? Could they have picked a worse, more out of the way location? Last time I checked it was a grass field, while their regular pitch is turf with football and lacrosse lines, but you're playing your highest profile match in an area with no transit service. Going to kill some of the walk-up crowd. Price is reasonable for the kind of cash it would take to get a team of Sporting's caliber in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Should be mentioned that Budd Park is not a real stadium, this will be for like 500 people max is my guess. So your sort of paying for that as well. It will be nearly a meet and greet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munseahawk Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 They just showed the field in a live hit at the start of the 6pm news. Looks like they have brought in the bleachers used for the Oktoberfest parade to provide the seating. Looks decent from the angle I saw. They are saying capacity at 4500 with at least 2000 tickets sold. KW United is expecting up to 1000 more as walk-up traffic, despite it being 30 degrees with a humidex of 41 here today.

Levi Oakey Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah, was decent. To be honest, United held their own for large parts of the game. Some real quality in the side. Game ended 2-1, was turned around after United had subbed off their entire starting 11, allowing every player some time on the ball. The game ended with a red card. Bennett Jull, a local lad who looked a little off pace with his time on the field, went in two footed. It was a mistake and he was genuinely apologetic. All in all though, a great game to watch.

Levi Oakey Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 The team this year is littered with former TFC Academy players and Whitecaps academy. Many who played under new head coach Stuart Neely. Neely has been fantastic for club putting on clinics for the local clubs on what it means to be a coach and helping out the teams. It's a real partnership between Kitchener Soccer Club and K-W United. Should be an exciting season though, a lot of talent on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I only just looked at this year's K-W United roster. Interesting to see Cain and Polakiewicz turn up. They were both sort of outside guys in the Whitecaps Residency but could play a bit and were probably cut loose before their time. Will look on how they're doing for sure.

Levi Oakey Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Sorry all for not getting back to this thread more often. We beat London, in London, even with their overagers, so I have basically been drunk since:http://kwunitedfc.com/createarticle.php?ID=123 The team continues to have a very Canadian core and we just signed Stefan Vukovic. A lot of names on this list were Academy players who ended up moving on: 26 Paris Bateman Midfielder 6-0 20 Crewe, ENG. Crewe Alexandra 5 Adam Bradshaw Defender 5-9 19 Waterloo, ON. Bucknell University 22 Wesley Cain Midfielder 5-9 20 Guelph, ON. Wright State University 9 Sergio Camargo Midfielder 5-6 19 Cucuta, CO. Coastal Carolina University 10 Jay Chapman Midfielder 6-1 20 Campbellford, ON. Michigan State University 6 Ricky Garbanzo Forward 5-6 21 Rock Hill, SC. Coastal Carolina University 1 Nathan Ingham Goalkeeper 6-2 20 Keswick, ON. Florida Gulf Coast University 18 Shane Keely Defender 6-2 23 Dublin, IRE. University of Memphis 13 Darrin MacLeod Goalkeeper 6-3 20 Kitchener, ON. Drake University 12 Jordan Murrell Defender 5-10 21 Markham, ON. Syracuse University 21 Emeka Ononye Defender 6-3 21 Richmond Hill, ON. Wright State University 15 Nikola Paunic Defender 6-3 20 Sokolac, RS. Toronto FC Academy 11 Nicolas Perea Midfielder 5-11 21 Hollywood, FL. Syracuse University 16 Stephen Piliotis Midfielder 5-8 17 Toronto, ON. SC Toronto 3 Adam Polakiewicz Midfielder 6-0 19 Kitchener, ON. Whitecaps Residency 19 Ridge Robinson Defender 5-11 20 Littleton, CO. Coastal Carolina University 2 Deon Rose Defender 6-0 18 Brampton, ON. University of South Carolina 4 Alain Sargeant Defender 6-2 18 Scarborough, ON. Toronto FC Academy 23 Jack Sherratt Midfielder 6-2 20 Stoke-on-Trent, ENG. Leyton Orient FC 7 Jordan Tyler Forward 6-1 21 Rochester, MI. Coastal Carolina University 17 Stefan Vukovic Forward 5-11 21 Hamilton, ON. Toronto FC Academy 8 Jack Warburton Midfielder 5-9 21 Enfield, ENG. K-W United FC 20 Ryan Ware Midfielder 5-10 21 Hertford, ENG. Notre Dame College 14 Jarek Whiteman Forward 6-0 23 Brampton, ON. SC Toronto 25 Brendan Woodful Forward 6-2 19 Unionville, ON. Polakiewicz was with us last season but hasn't been able to get healthy. Which is disappointing as he is a regional lad. It's great to have Wesley Cain on the team, as he is also from the region, but so far has been a substitute with either Camargo or Garbanzo getting the nod ahead of him. Today we play the Bucks, two days after the game against London. I imagine Stuart Neely will rotate the squad so hopefully Wesley can start. Edit: WOW, way to lose the formatting. Ah well.
