Tuscan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Would youse goons and goonettes be interested in me arranging a Supporters vs. Supporters soccer match in Toronto on either August 6th or 7th between the two U20 WC matches? Time of day and location hasn't been considered yet, I'm looking for popular opinion here before making those decisions. I'd prefer the max number of people could make it. Lamport Stadium is booked so we will have to have this on a pitch somewhere in Toronto. On another note, we haven't done one of these outside TO yet, and I'll be in Montreal for the U20 WC match there too. Any Montreal Vs interested in helping me set this up there?

MrsC Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This sounds fun. I know it will be coed and all ages. Will it also be a mixed bag skill wise? I play in indoor and outdoor rec leagues, but let's just say my best years are about 15 years behind me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's typically been a pretty varied skill set on display during these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to see what I can do to arrange my schedule so that I can get into town a day early and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 If anyone can help find a venue, preferably two pitches side by side or maybe a high school football field as a final resort. Really with Lamport was available again but it is booked solid, maybe a U20 side is practicing there or multiple squads. Anyway, we need a venue preferable Aug 7th evening, second choice Aug 6th evening, third choice Aug 4th evening, last choice Aug 6th or 7th afternoon. Please help, if we get this set up ASAP Jason DeVos will probably come play with us, and that would be uber cool, I wish to lacerate his Achilles or one of the knee CL's just to say I did it.* *not really, but taking him out just once might bring infamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Jeff you are about 1/4 his weight ... and that's just his head. Any collision between the two of you would likely end in either your death or hospitalization. On 2nd thought, go for it ... would make a fun story.

Tuscan Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Here's the Facebook event page for this. https://www.facebook.com/events/1467190656862110/ We are still trying to nail down a field, two places that have been mentioned are High Park and another one in East York whose name is eluding me. Also, we could use the skinny field inside the track in Riverdale park, but its dimensions look really really unusual. If you know a park where youth soccer is done around 7 or 7:30 that would probably suffice. If you're coming please change your status to Going in the event.

killgod Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah I'll play. Super terrible, ignore my athletic looks, I just don't football proper. Got two left feet or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not going to lie I'm really nervous about getting a field for this. I know people have suggested going to a field after the youth games are done, can someone actually do the reconnaissance work to confirm they have a field where the kids will be done by 7:30 latest? Sun will only be good till 9 latest, and we'd want to get probably a solid hour in but hopefully more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Let me look at a rental too. That way we know we have it and such. Would people be up for sliding a little cash towards it? What are numbers like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Numbers seemed to be pretty strong, maybe even 30 or more. I'll put a few bucks towards it if it helps. Also wondering if the Nova Scotia flag can make a return appearance. Check the thread in the women's section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So I did some recon work and we could get Monarch Park before 5. After 5 most fields are booked solid. It's fairly cheap during business hours so if we wanted to do a 3-5 game then we would have a place to land. in terms of the Riverdale fields by the DVP, I know they have baseball games at night during the week, but I don't quite remember if you can get in there to play. Monarch Park is in the east end but easily accessible by Subway and Go Train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsC Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I am happy to put some money up. Unfortunately I am not sure if I can get the day off to come early but I will either be able to play at any time of day or not at all (since I live out of town). I likely won't even know if I can get the day off until close to the time but I really like the idea of the game and want to keep my options open so I will happily contribute.

MrsC Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I am not going to be able to Leave London until 5:00 so the earliest I could arrive will be 7:30 but if traffic is bad I may not make it at all. I will do my best though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
