I have tried to stay silent on this topic for about three weeks now, but that is about to end.
From time to time i read about the many silly stories and screw ups that happen down at B C soccer.
Well here is one that is happening to my team and our club.
B C was awarded the masters over 35's mens and ladies Western Canadian Championships this october.
About four months ago someone from B.C. soccer aproached our club and asked if we were interested in hosting this event.
Our Chairpersons came to me and asked me if our team and the club would also want to host the event. I of course said Yes!
We apply for the event the next day and one week later were told congratulations,"you are hosting the event"
Well this is great news and the club and the rest of the boys were very excited and ready to do a bang up job.
I start putting together a comitee of around 12 guys and girls and we set out planning the whole event.
Newton has a great clubhouse up top with a new Satalite system that can make the clubhouse a great place for the teams to go back after the games and enjoy a bevarage, and a game on the tv.
This is where it gets interesting.
Three weeks ago i recieved a phone call from an inside person letting me know that we may not be hosting the event.
It seems as though someone else from B.C soccer has promised the event to another club six months ago. (GREAT!)
I contact B C Soccer to enquire about " who the hell is hosting the event"?
Guess what? They can't tell me!
It seems as though one person gave it to us, and another person gave it to another club.
It gets better. Now both of these men won't bend or break and knowone is now hosting the event.
Our club asked B.C soccer to please make a decision and either award us or them the event but please make up thier mind. Nope!
Three weeks later and five emails later, still no answers!
How the heck do these guys constantly bottle things!
Two clubs are waiting to plan an event and they can't get there crap together.
One guy says this, the other says that.
The whole thing is shocking and embarrassing to say the least.
And yes , someone blew it again down there!
Nice job boys.
