It looks like a couple of banks of temporary bleachers around a public park pitch, with a concrete toilet block on one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I would actually be so down for a trip for a double header weekend one day, in a few years, to see Forge FC vs Wanderers, and a Ticats vs "Schooners" game. MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmc Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wouldn't that be something? It's a good thing the Schooners and Wanderers will play in different stadiums. They can play on the same day, even, here in Halifax. Assuming of course the Schooners even get a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Yeah, it's a long way from happening. Thought it on the drive home when they were talking about the Shannon park site on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just a temporary set-up for Year 1, with plans to either upgrade the site to a more professional standard or to move to a more suitable home down the road? I honestly don't know anything about the plans in Halifax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even from Hamilton and would love to do that. The only thing better would be if we had a Mtl area team (CPL).

I honestly don't know anything about the plans in Halifax. It's a temporary pop-up stadium under a 3 year lease, then beyond that nobody knows what the intent is. SEA has expressed that no other location in Halifax region is better suited at the current time and 99% of supporters seem to be in agreement. I think the general consensus is that if (when) the club has 3 very successful seasons, they'll have that history in their back pocket when approaching the city and province about developing the land with a more permanent facility (it's municipal land). Complete guess here, but I think they'd be able to fit a 12-15,000 seat permanent stadium on the existing site.

Keegan Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I’m thinking something like Saputo Stadium circa 2008 for the Wanderers in a few years. That current setup looks nice as well though. Ultimately it’s up the fans to make the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HfxCeltic Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Member #234 and just received my email now - call date is November 14th. A neat feature they noted is the ability to purchase seats then reserve seats next to mine so a friend who's later in the queue can purchase them next to me. Based on some Facebook posts, it appears some members are purchasing upwards of 7 season tickets. I don't think they'll have any problem reaching the 4,000 season ticket holders they're hoping for.

I thought they were in front of Naval Grey, but can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmc Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 No, cause I bought my tickets for the Kitchen. I believe the light poles are in front of the sections that are $50 cheaper. Which would be sections 106 and 102. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you pick your tickets, you can reserve tickets in your buddies name if they have a membership further down the line. I did this in Harbour Blue with assigned seating, not sure how it would work for general admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
