So weekend downtown accommodation might start to get limited and might get more expensive quickly. That will have an effect on accommodations for sure. For anyone in Edmonton for both games, attending the rodeo on the 13th would be something I would seriously consider, it will be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 17 minutes ago, Cblake said: There is www.redarrow.ca, its a bus line. It is about 3-3.5 hour trip. https://www.redarrow.ca/trip/select-trip That one, i did find. But it seemed pricey. It seemed like an airport service that happens to do intercity service as well. I was thinking something along the lines of Greyhound or megabus. I would like to try to use this trip as way to also try x country skiing in Canmore.

I think since the closure of Greyhound, different bus lines have been trying to fill in the gaps here and there but at this point its far from perfect. Price being one of them, Mega Bus here in Ontario is way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're a Forge supporter looking to sneak in an away day you likely wouldn't do on its own, I dont see much reason to catch this match.

gator Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I am going to keep my original booking, the match should end by 2, an hour should be reasonable to uber to airport from Clarke stadium, anyone who knows the city better have thoughts on this?

gator Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This is great news because besides eating the cost of my original flight home I would have had to Uber when I got to the Hammer if I took a later flight, a win win situation, thanks for the advice all!

JamboAl Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I don’t know…those Forge supporters at the Atletico Ottawa game yesterday were trouble…cheering their team while they stole 3 goals and 3 points off of the bottom side in the league. They’ll be after you next FC Edmonton! gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Approve My Account Pls Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This might be a pipe dream, but if there's enough interest what's the chances of arranging a plane of V's to and from one or both matches from the centre of the universe?

Club Linesman Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Any Edmonton V’s know whether or not you can take a gym bag or backpack into Clarke? I am planning on going to the Forge game before heading to the airport but will have my stuff with me. If no bags are allowed does the facility hold a bag until the game is over?! ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
