Errr...... they don't have piping under the soil? WTF?


They play on a plastic pitch. City understandably refused to play on it, so they agreed to lay grass down on top of it. As you can see, maybe not the best idea.

For some bizarre reason I'd convinced myself it was Tuesday today. Was just beginning the one hour countdown.

For all you blues, there's a meet up in Oscars bar - East Hastings Street, 3.00pm - it's a couple of blocks from the ground and should be fun. Hope to see as many of you there as possible :)


Have fun! Will be travelling from the Island at that time. BTW there is an opportunity to get your photo taken with the FA Cup. I will be wearing the FA cup t-Shirt...

Apparently Micah has a cousin who plays (but is currently injured) for Vancouver

http://www.mlssoccer.com/wfc/news/artic ... -vancouver

and Vancouver has beaten us twice in the 1980s 5-0 and 2-0 before. Never knew that Kidd played in the old NASL:
