jonovision Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I was honestly looking forward to watching him, which doesn't say much for the rest of our team. Soccerpro2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Edgar Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Valour FC not even mentioned in the Princess Auto tweet announcing the new stadium name. Disappointed but not surprised. johnyb and Metro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(seriously the Princess Auto logo would look good on a Valour jersey) This shirt reminds me that Princess Auto and Trans Canada Brewing are corporate cousins (or parents/kids or uncles/nephews or some such relation). One wonders if the latter's offerings will get a bit more distribution within the stadium (it is already available in a few spots) with the new deal. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdheid Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Not relevant to anything currently being discussed, but I've long felt that "The Jambusters" would have been a great name for a Winnipeg supporters group. I think that word is fairly specific to Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love getting lost in that store. Very good corporate citizens. I don't work there, and someone who does may have a differnet opinion, but they're not shy about giving back to the community. And if you spy a McLaren supercar buzzing down #1 towards the Whiteshell and find yourself wondering "WTF?". Give you 50-50 odds on the who's the owner 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear Winnipeggers talking about Jam Busters, I'm reminded of the Britsh war movie the Dam Busters which admittedly sounds much more heroic.

K Edgar Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) A left back! 13 MLS, 35 NEXTPRO games with TFC / TFC II. Sound pretty good.

K Edgar Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 https://valourfc.canpl.ca/article/these-kinds-of-players-dont-become-available-often "Valour’s first on-field training session will go February 20th" "Dos Santos said the club is still on the hunt for a couple of attacking pieces and has a U-21 spot yet to fill" (only 1 U21 spot? That would imply they have an unannounced U21 signed) "We have a bit of cap space" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
