Bringing in a player of that stature, without paying a transfer fee, sounds like quite a coup to me. I’m excited to find out who it is ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 With the new stand opening at Westhills this weekend, it feels like more hype than usual. I hope the fans respond. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 No word on the two new signings? Reports made it sound as though they were done and only waiting for ITCs. The supporter night was a week ago and there’s been not a whisper online. Was hoping they might be at least announced before Saturday.

Distrikt Nightclub underneath the Sticky Wicket at the Strathcona Hotel. Same venue that the Highlanders used for their season launch party.

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 We had the closest to a best starting 11 on the field as ever imo, which has to make a difference. We also see players solidifying roles and a bit less reliance on youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_twelve Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Yeah McCurdy looked better than in the past but I think Staro is still a lot better than him. I don't think we've had consecutive games with the preferred back 4 starting together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would've been better off adding Verhoeven or Baldisimo into the midfield and playing with a loan striker. It's getting harder to keep Zach Verhoven out of the lineup too.

BearcatSA Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 How easy/hard is it to take public transit from downtown Victoria to Westhills? I'm interested in coming down to watch the regular season finale on October 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 There is a shuttle that runs to the stadium and back. I've never taken it, but someone here likely has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public Transit is pretty easy but requires either a transfer at the Langford Exchange or a 12-15 minute walk from the intersection of Jacklin Rd and Langford Parkway. I take the shuttle bus from Darcy's downtown which is still free to ticket holders with pre-registration on EventBrite. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We were staying in Shirley outside of Sooke, so I came in from the West (I think) which really left me with the impression that Langford is a bit of a frontier town. That said (by an already suburban dad), I thought it was quite nice. We spent some time at the new playground between the stadium and Rugby Canada. For sport, this seems like an important location and, long term, I wonder if it will grow a bit like Surrey where, all of a sudden, you have lots of population around to support the club. Save for the match, I didn't see anyone in the colours around that way -despite visiting many breweries and spots you might expect it. Made me think there are lots of fans like Ted making a long commute from Victoria or Saanich. That said, Sooke to Jordan River is literally littered with hipsters so I'd expect some local growth. ted, BearcatSA and nolando 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Victoria earlier in the week (for the first time in many years) and really enjoyed my stay. I'd like to see this team in action. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
