I knew as soon as Gorge got through, they would move these games to their home turf (Hampton). The schedule had these slated for Royal Athletic (grass). The funny thing is, the turf may actually help UBC more with their fitness and pace.posted by: kjb
The choice of fields is a decision by the local league, in this case VISL.
And You Wonder Why Bc Has Not Done Very Well At Nationals Lol!
Although Hampton is Gorge' home field it is the best facility to play at. There would have been several complaints from everyone if it was played at Royal Athletic. RAP is not in very good shape. Very bumpy and hard in the middle of the park, with very long grass on the outsides of the field. I think it is a better choice to have it played on turf.

In regards to the game vs Inter this past weekend. Great game, Great team, very skilled, very classy. Too bad you couldn't join us for some pints.
Whatever works I guess in promoting your league but this seems a bit of a stretch, no?PCSL website said:Three of the four clubs that are through to the semis are either PCSL clubs or have PCSL connections, Vancouver Thunderbirds, Peace Arch United and Gorge FC who form the core of Victoria United in the PCSL.
First off, there would be no complaints for playing on grass, this province has become a joke. They have been playing on shite fields for donkey's years all over europe. Ever see any game in any elite league on turf?? Why do you think Central and South american kids and teams are so dam good? Has nothing to do with foot / eye coordination on absolute shite hard dirt fields eh? This province and country has lost it if they think we are going to compete with the rest of the world. Also, there is this fantastic invention out, it's called a lawn mower. Poor excuses for a competition you have known about for months.
Hard luck on Langley yesterday, felt for the boys but UBC were just younger and fitter. I would like to know how many days a week they are training together, they looked like they had more to give yesterday but langley defended well. Thought chuck and Nick both had great games. Onto VIC I and Old TeamMates Stevie and Ryan. Strathcona must be filling up quick??
