No; I was using the data on the FIFA website, and they don't include it, as FIFA doesn't consider them to be official matches. Possibly because they weren't national teams, but that's speculation on my part. Edit: I just noticed that it's currently including age-grade games, so it's not entirely accurate... I'll see if I can filter those out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I really like what you've done here @grande, and since you seemed to be able to generate this so quickly, I wonder about what the "modern era" arctic cup champions would look like. My idea/curiosity is this. Sweden were the initial champions because they won the first game that was held between arctic nations (against Norway). What would happen if you gave a cup to each country that won their first game against an arctic nation. For example, Denmark won their first game against Norway, so they get a second cup. USA won their first game against Sweden, so they get a third cup, etc. At what point would all these cups become unified, thus making a more comprehensive champion? Sidenote: Holy crap Denmark was stomping teams early on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to get everything booked asap before train prices get too expensive. Also, anyone thinking of going? I might go solo and would like to split a hotel or air bnb. Thinking of taking the day off work - flying up then taking a late night train back if this materialises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to catch a train back from Manchester if my flight from Vancouver gets back in time. I'll be jaded if I can't see this game, especially since one of my buddies from my program here is a tartan army supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I moved to England last year, and if this match is a go, then I'm on the train north and I'll be there. Now that I think of it, I believe I've only ever been to two Canada matches that were actually in Canada -- I guess I'm a bit of an expat-only Voyageur.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Anyone know if there will be a Canada section or discounted tickets like there is for Scottish Supportes club? Just bought my train ticket from London. Very excited! Hope to see a few of you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I went in 2002. We went through Morgan Quarry to arrange a section with the Scottish FA. They gave us section 10 (about 330 seats) in upper corner and we sold them all. There were only about 15 of us from the forum that went, but it filled up with expats and exchange students and what-not. We had our own private entrance and a few security guards between us and the rest of the ground. I assume it would't be hard to have the same arrangement this time and probably something even a bit more modern and organized. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also emailed the generic SFA address from their website. So hopefully one way or another, I get some info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's really strange to think that that game & trip was almost 15 years ago now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I wish I could go to this one but don't think I'll be able to make it across the pond for it. Good luck to all the lads (and lasses) who make it; I love Edinburgh...just hate Easter Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just heard back from the SFA, they said any tickets sold for a Canada section would be done through the CSA. Now does anyone know who at the CSA I should contact about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevielarson Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Pretty decent Rynair flight prices for anyone flying up from London. Need to get the all clear from the wife to be away for the night and then I will book my flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
