2015 Whitecaps

Regs attendance would have been up if you weren't trying to pull off a central park.

Pretty sure I see dezza 4th row far right. Is that std beside him? Weird.

Yah. If it wasn't at UBC I would probably be there today. Long weekend and it being in the farthest corner of the Greater Vancouver area might be a small issue. Wife and I really liked that area but just couldn't come up with the down payment.

Maybe an area closer to where all the young families are moving to. That would help get families in those empty seats. Grow the game etc.
Do young families seriously buy in the Westside/kits area?
Somewhat assuming that young families would be a good target market for WFC2.

By the way, watched the WFC1 game live yesterday and thought RT was fine. Broke up tons and didn't lose the ball much.
Seattle just closed down the central defensive 3rd of their pitch really really well. Morales and Riviero had no space to do anything once entering the final 3rd. All was pushed wide and every cross cleared. Smart.

Mayor of Wrightville.

Today's WFC2 crowd:

What a setting though. Totally agree on the "miss" as far as location. Surrey is the obvious choice.

Regs- love the avatar. Keeper really caught something special with that shot!

Central park?

Central park?

Swanguard... Ala hiding in the trees at central park to get a peak. U shoulda just paid the five dollar addmission

 

[mtkb]

yeah RT was decent yesterday, even made a couple of nice slips up the park... I rag on him enough that I'll give him credit when its due... that said (you knew it was coming) when Seattle pings the ball around that quickly RT cant even think about chasing it...

 

[mtkb]

they should tarp off the outer four sections and make it an intimate atmosphere... looks like the novelty has worn off... shocking...

You mean it wasn't a sellout on Saturday?

 

[mtkb]

that was going to be my next point actually... who do they think they're fooling?

Today's WFC2 crowd:

Just want to point out that nobody appears to be on the pitch, and the benches are empty. The match has clearly not started.

Anyone who has shown up 10+ minutes prior to kickoff at BC Place knows that it looks exactly the same.

And re the location for WFC2 games - are ticket sales really a priority for the club? This is a development team playing out of the WFC headquarters which is currently at UBC. How important is it for them to attract bodies?

They announced it as a sellout a few days before the game but the game report had the attendance as 21,000 when it is normally 21,500 so I'm not sure what that means. I know there was some season ticket seats that were empty around us, probably people going out of town who could not find someone to give there ticket to. I am sure if they opened the whole stadium up we would have 45,000 just like Seattle and those season ticket holders would of had a lot less trouble giving their tickets away. Dare to dream.

My question was more or less related to I heard about it being sold out and on Saturday the wife asked about going to the game and I told her it was sold out and so I sent her to the beer store instead.

 

[Dude]

I could not think of one good performance on the Caps the other night. Very disappointing to give up an unreal Spring evening for that. Ousted was caught in no-mans land on the first goal...happens to all keeps from time-to-time, but the poor read from our fullbacks that allowed this, and trying to trap offside, was diabolical.

Manneh...that boy needs to have a seat, and maybe moved. The shine has definitely worn off on him.

Don't know what else to say...it's a lot more fun arguing about player performances after they win than when they lose. Especially after a loss like this, where for 60 minutes there was simply no push, and no redeeming qualities to speak of.

RT sucked. So did everyone else in WFC colors.

Okay we would of had 45,002 then. I guess you need to make friends with season ticket holders who have busy schedules of maybe try this new site http://www.ticketmaster.ca/Vancouve...m=CFC_WHITECAPS_site&brand=vancouverwhitecaps and look for late releases.

 

[STD]

Manneh's best games are when he comes on as a sub with about 30 minutes left. He rarely has a good game as a starter but running at tired defenders he can look good.

 

[cascadesoccer]

We NEED to stop playing Rivero by himself upfront, he works his ass off, for nothing. He gets no support, rarely a through ball, everything is so defensive, yet we rarely counter attack anymore. Last week against the sounders we actually crossed the ball, but to no one. We need a re alignment. Wonder what kind of line up we will see come tomorrow.

HOLY FLIPPING HANDSTAND THROW-INS BATMAN!

So looks like the 200 in the photo grew to about 400 by the time the match was played
