Meaningless match, not going, picking my spots instead.

Oh wait, I'm not one of the meaningless match donkeys!!

For sure I'm going to support my team in this meaningless match! And looking forward to seeing our ladies in action again.

Ha! A Vs section with everyone wearing donkey heads might be fun

Going to have to see first if I can make it and then if I can round up a crew.

Seems like they were. I hope those games are a go. Would love to see the women in The Peg again.

These games MAY or MAY NOT be a go. I was asked by the CSA to delete my tweets regarding them and since the FEDEFUTBOL deleted their press release from last month and their tweet of it, the details may have changed. I wouldn't be surprised if the Thursday game was in Winnipeg and the Sunday one was in Toronto since The National Soccer Stadium (BMO Field) would be available by June 11th. Non-Voyageurs don't want to pay twice to see them play the same opponent again so I can see  them do what they did for the x2 Brazil games and have the team play in two different cities.

If this happens, I have a couple of bedrooms to spare & a big back yard that we could fill with tents

I have you on record!!

The Costa Rican FA still has these games on their calendar but the dates are now Monday June 5th and Monday June 12th. Both for Winnipeg.

There is probably no better time to visit Winnipeg than early June.

Ya, can't say my deductive reasoning was poor!

I'll update the first post.

[jonovision]

Wondering who the Manitoba premier will be rooting for in this one.

[LeanneMac]

So excited for these games! Wish I could do both

Starting the build tomorrow.

Most years mosquitos aren't out en force until mid-June. Depends on the weather I guess.

Always happy to see a national team come to Manitoba.

I'll be there.

I think this would look really nice on my front lawn.  Will we have a Voyageurs section in Winnipeg?

 can you tell us when the tickets will go on sale?

Group tickets are already on sale but I can't read Jamie's mind for the only tickets that matter! @admin Wait until he posts something.

For Toronto: My guess is they will block off at least part of 112/113 for us - we didn't have the numbers for 114 so there's no reason to ask for that.

For Winnipeg: The section was 144 last time (May 2014) but it was chosen by the CSA.

Did 144 work out well? Was there a drum last time?

 

EDIT: Jamie was too quick to answer!

 

[Admin]

Tickets are for sale on the front page now.

I'll fix it up when I get into Toronto tomorrow.

It was an honest question, thanks for answering.  In Ontario the mosquitoes tend to pick up immediately where the blackflies leave off, so no real respite.  (Of course that would only affect the training facility in Nottawasaga, for Toronto based games)

144 is on the side of the CFL end zone and behind the end line so it was ok but not the greatest. There was no drum there. In fact, there were only six Vs in that supporters section, 5 from SK and one from Edmonton  but by the second half it was pretty rockin'. We didn't have a drum but I like that just fine.

I suspect things we will have more Vs this time.

Well, I hope you get at least 25 people and a drum this time.

@admin did you bring the giant flag and banner back from Vancouver? Do you plan on flying up to Winnipeg for the game?
