I'm down to settle on Smithfield if that works for you @ESG Shawn  

I was the only Voyageur at the AO bar for the 2011 GC game and they were more than hospitable. Probably had something to do with the 2-0 win but they bought me a couple post-game rounds. Only slightly made up for the "it's all your fault" chants on the goals

I'm good with Smithfield. I emailed them a week or two ago to confirm that a group of Canadians are coming but they never responded. I'll let my group know.

For those of us who get their TV through Shaw, I guess the game isn't being shown?....

I would tweet at One Soccer and ask if it will be available on Shaw. 

Saw this week they have added Sask Tel

And listen to the ESPN commentators **** on Canada?  No thanks

That might be more fun actually if Canada is winning!

Yes they will.

There are also going to be 7 CanPL watch parties for the game as well, to be announced tomorrow.

Pre game in Orlando

Alex has set up a place for us in Orlando pre game.  Looks like a neat place, and he said the people there were really friendly.

We are booked in from 4pm, but can arrive earlier if we want. 
 

Ace Cafe Orlando

100 W. Livingston Street
Orlando, Fl 32801

 

It is a 15min walk to the stadium.  It is off the radar of the US supporters, which is good.  Not that they are a problem, always find them very friendly. 

[grigorio]

So being unfamiliar with tv these days, are these like... "real" channels that a bar would have? It's obviously not TSN or Sportsnet or anything they've heard of before.

Well if they are with those providers, they should have it.

From my understanding, the Hamilton party will be running off of OneSoccer

Cool. Works for me. Buddies are bailing so may just be me at this point, but am trying to round up a couple others.

I've confirmed another.

Toronto North: Drums and Flats (on Avenue north of Lawrence) will be showing game. They might not have audio, due to Leafs game, but if enough of us show up, they will turn it on. Reservations are highly recommended, again due to leafs game.

*** CHANGE ALERT ***

Here in Victoria we have changed venue to Darcy's Pub downtown. PFC is hosting (and giving prizes). 

Event on FB : http://www.facebook.com/events/543048446270639/

Did I see Betty's on the list on a version of the FB graphic? Or was I seeing things? 

 

[BrennanFan]

I've no idea who set up Betty's.  Anyone here?

Cloak and Dagger (394 College Street) has been good to us lately.  Great atmosphere for the MLS cup.

Canada Soccer tweeted out that graphic showing Betty's but Voyageurs FB post isn't showing the same graphic

Winnipeg Viewing will be at Nicolinos again (2077 Pembina Highway).  We will likely be in the private room.

https://www.nicolinosrestaurant.com/

 

 

Just in case.  For those not in the know. 

Nicolino's is going to be busy Friday with the after-work crowd of course.  Popular place and always one of the regulars are booking some sort of event or other so could get real cozy in there really quickly.   

For those who haven't been, the louge is obviously to your left when you walk in, the restaurant to your right.  If you see a bunch of Canada supports to your left we're in the lounge (or at least starting there).   If you don't you'll find the private room tucked away at the back of the restaurant.  Cozy  Think you can legally hold about a dozen in there.  Been standing room only in there once or twice.  Which is fine.  I like to stand and if you like noisey.... 

King's Head is on the west side of King just north of Bannatyne across from Old Market Square.  (For those who confuse the two King is the north bound one-way and Princess the south bound one-way).  It's going to be BUSY.  It's Friday, the after-work crowd will be out and of course, there's no sidewalk patio in November to help spread that crowd around.  Parking in the Exchange is a bitch but there's a car park just south of Bannatyne which usually has a few spots, or the garage next door if you're lucky, give them a try.  If you prefer street level you might score a spot further up King.   

Don't know what they've got planned there for viewing.  All the TVs are on the bar level (as far as I know) so unless they've set something up downstairs that'll be the place to be.  Which is fine.  Seatings limited but plenty of room to mingle, bump elbows and there's lots of tele's.  You know, because it's a pub.

Either way, don't be shy, or loiter around the perimeter.  Whatever's your flavour.  Both venues allow for kids (until 9 PM at King's Head?).

Allez les Rouges!

York9 will be hosting a viewing party.

I am so glad that the clubs are finally doing this. I have been advocating for this for years.

[narduch]

This is definitely Paul Bierne's influence on the CPL. Early years TFC used to host post season Meet the Players pub nights.

Great to see from CPL clubs.

I beg your pardon?!?

This had nothing to do with him or else it would have happened sooner. The guy has been the top dude for a year but this only happens as he is out the door?

It is far more likely that it has come because supporters groups like ours have been pushing watch parties at pubs since before the season started and the clubs finally woke up to the idea.

Betty's is right beside the CPL office so I'm guessing that's the head office party.

I believe the Kings Head viewing will be in the lower area.  They had a big screen down there last month, so it is probably still there. 

For Nicolinos, we will be in private room for sure, so start there.  Nick is also going to have the game on in the lounge as well, though it will likely be busy over dinner.

[JuicyHam]

Anyone know a place in Windsor area that will definitely be showing the game?

 

I was going to the game but then things fell through and then I was going to watch it with some friends and that didn't work out so I'm hoping to go somewhere showing the game. 

[Lansdude]

The Rogers channel the match is on is usually pay per view, but someone told me it's free tonight. Might've missed it in this thread - does anyone know what the deal is?
