rob.notenboom Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Apparently the pre-game for the Montreal game is at Bar 99 on Hochelaga. But no one here at the Fury after party is willing to put it on the board so I am, even though I'm not going. So have fun guys. This is Trillium's pick or so I'm told. Anyone want to confirm?

Grizzly Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We will meet at Brasserie 99 at 5 pm. We will leave at 6 to go to the game and buy tickets. Once we are at the ticket booth we will try to choose a section that will fit our needs. Anyone that can't make the meetup at 99 can contact me at 514-713-0810. Here are the directions to 99, a 5 minute walk from the Pie IX metro station: http://www.arrondissement.com/montreal/brasserie99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Shaman Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I don't have a whole lot of interest in the first game. I'd rather drink beforehand at Bar 99. I completely understand wanting to focus on the Canada game and all the pre-match festivities that go with it but; if you are taking in this tournament to see some of the best U-20 Women's soccer, the Germany-Brazil game should be a classic. Both teams tied China and both teams played close competitive matches with the USA so they should match up well. Germany in particular is a delight to watch; notwithstanding the sloppy defensive play against China during the shooting gallery at the Commonwealth Corral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just spoke with representative of the CSA and they are making a very good deal for us regarding the section we will be sitting in, ticket price and having it designated as a supporters section. Can't say too much about the details until the bar tomorrow but everyone should be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is this seriously only being televised on Sportsnet World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is this seriously only being televised on Sportsnet World? It will be live on CBC's Eastern/Atlantic regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sportsnet has Real Madrid v. Sevilla. The different versions of Eurosport are showing the games. I know British Eurosport has the other three games today: 135 minutes of Brazil v. Germany, 45 minutes of USA v. China, and 135 minutes of Ghana v. Finland. They will air the full Canada game at 9:00am tomorrow morning GMT on Eurosport 2. Pretty random you can watch them overseas but not in Canada.

red card Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sportsnet World has been showing some of the non-Canada matches and replay of Canada matches. Today, they'll be showing Brasil Germany at 5 and Finland Ghana at 7. Canada replay at 9. Tomorrow, they have Paraguay France and England Nigeria.

theaub Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 So, win by two and we're pretty much assured first in the group. Sounds easy enough to me! (puts head back in sand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The supporters section is shaping up well thanks to a nice albeit late intervention by the CSA. All of section 107 will be designated supporters section. Flags with PVC pole and drums are welcome. If anyone else in Montreal is interested in attending contact me here or show up at 99 before 6 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstackho Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Any idea as to why Olympic Stadium is being used instead of Saputo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Shaman Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 So I guess that Edmonton is the next stop in the pilgrimage. Unbelievable to think that would be the case after match day one. Allez les Rouges!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan_in_the_kootenays Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 To Edmonton! Now that Canada is playing in my part of Canada, I am seriously investigating the opportunity to attend the game this Saturday. Any B.C. based Voyageurs travelling to the game?

Lord Bob Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Better crowd than I expected. Much better game than I expected. Thanks to Grizzly for handling a relatively smooth last-minute organization. See you in Edmonton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 So, unlike Toronto, no Braslians and Germans came over to support Canada, wave the flag and spoil the party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say too much about the details until the bar tomorrow but everyone should be happy with it. I just had a similar conversation with a CSA representative with respect to the supporter's section in Edmonton for August 16th. Very good news with respect to designated section and ticket costs. Check the Edmonton game thread for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Good to see the CSA stepping up, what exactly have they been offering compared to some of the issues that existed in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Shaman Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Good to see the CSA stepping up, what exactly have they been offering compared to some of the issues that existed in Toronto. I think the system for this game will be very similar to the approach for the Montreal game. PM me if you need more specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Grizzly for handling a relatively smooth last-minute organization. See you in Edmonton! Are you able to arrange to bring any of the large banners from the Voyageurs stash?? Contact me by PM for tickets; similar to the Grizzly system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
