Obviously greater chances we will have to deal with windy conditions. Felt we didn't deal with the wind well when we played Guatemala?!? The wind would favor his short corners though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was honestly surprised they did not give the game to TO to see what happens with the renovated stadium and Montreal could have been considered as well. But I cannot complain as this will allow me attend again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you don't really understand and don't have enough information on how this works or even what the problems were to go swinging your judgement stick again. You make a lot of assumptions. We will not do GA again for several practical organizational reasons. I was against it, and I was right. This is wrt to ticketing and the organization of tifo. If people went to the front and didn't like it, that is a self inflicted wound. It's made clear what we do and if people want to do something different they can do it somewhere else. We put the work in. This section is ours. Why not just come out and join us and see what it's like. You clearly like the game and also clearly like defending people/principles ect.. two excellent qualities that are of course more than welcome. Be careful though... you might meet people you like and enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this forum and how people act, I doubt that would be the case. I can just imagine being called all sorts of names if I happen to think something is a foul and the group collective thinks otherwise...... conformity of opinion is not something I thrive in.

Depends on what you are referring to. If you read this forum, there are clearly differences of opinion on just about everything and lots of discussion about it. You also have to remember that the majority of people on here are not anonymous. They may have usernames, but they have known each other for 20 years. So they take the piss out of each other rather often. If you don't know what's going on well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,however, calling a new person ignorant when they share an opinion (which ended up being correct), does not make the Voyageurs look like a great group of people. Telling a new person to leave, quit, go away, or whatever is not going to reflect well. And, wanting to stunt growth of the Canadian fanbase because you are afraid a group of opposition supporters could buy tickets, is just ridiculous. I get that you guys want our home matches to be in a 1000 seat junky stadium with only Voyageurs in attendance; however, that does not grow the game in Canada.

If you are referring to yourself, well, you leveled some really serious allegations at a group of people, as a new person, and it pissed a lot of people off. I don't care.

I have made several attempts to "talk soccer" with the gang and it gets met with abuse or name calling (even valid and reasonable opinions.)

See these statement right here are why you are called ignorant. You don't know any better... I have a respect for everyone on this website and trust that we all have different opinions on several topics and I have respected their opinions and did not call people names except for you. I have absolutely no respect for you as you believe the Voyageurs are some sort of racist ignorant group.

I specifically asked that question about the small "voyageurs only" stadium during my promotion of opening up the stadium and you guys said you would prefer that closed venue scenario. I find that is counter productive to growing the sport in Canada (we need to create fans). I do not consider this an ignorant viewpoint, just one that is different from the view of your group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
