    Or at least the first match is confirmed as being open, anyway.  Free admission, free parking, and supporters will be located in section 225 (west stand, just south of the centre line).

    I was bit bummed that the game isn't at SFU cause I like to kick the ball around in the endzone, but I figure instead...I'm going to set up my mini nets and grab a cooler and go to Rupert Park with my son before the PDL match. Anyone interested in joining me I should be there by 1:30.

    If it's like last game, they open one gate in South entrance and the official open section is 225, but you can basically walk around to where you want.

    Nanchoff will be playing for the Res tonight. Perhaps Morfaw and Davies again as well. So a good chance to see young future Caps, like Stanese, Essa, Alderson et al as well as some Corny and a couple of potential near future starters. This is THE best deal you will ever see...for you multi sport guys...this is equivalent to seeing the Giants (or Moose if they were in Vancouver) for free. Last game Koda and I had the WHOLE southside to ourselves in the 2nd half so there is LOTS of room. Most cities in Canada this is the HIGHEST level of Soccer and tickets are $15 range. This is FREE!!! FREE!!!

    That was awesome! 2-1 caps, great atmosphere, most fun I've had at a football match this year.

    The residency plays a very attractive style of football... our future on the pitch looks bright.

    Drew summed it up best about the lads tonight. Very encouraging future.

    A handful of Southsiders turned out and we got the chants going. Overall it was a good night of footie.

    I had a blast! Great you fat bastard in the 2nd half

    3 - Morfaw
    2 - Sylvestre
    1 - Bassi

    Stewart was great, as was Alderson. Lots of youth to be excited about!

    11 Southsiders, 12 res players in the stands, about 40 Abbotsford supporters, and maybe that many Cap friends and family. Probably just over 100.

    The first teams plays away at Chivas USA next weekend (Saturday, June 4 at 6:00pm).

    For those you want to get out to a game, the Residency have two matches at Empire:

    Friday, June 3, 7:00pm vs. Tacoma Tide
    Sunday, June 5, 4:00pm vs. Victoria Highlanders

    Free admission!

    So are you people leaning towards Friday evening or Sunday afternoon?  I'd like to see one live match this weekend, and I haven't seen the kids play at Empire yet.

    I'll probably be at both - luckily, the Residency haven't yet played a game this season on a day I'm working.

    Any guys from Victoria coming over for the Highlanders game?

    Only three Residency matches left at Empire before it moves elsewhere.

    See you all tomorrow at 7:00pm for the Tacoma match.

    Can anyone give me details on how this is set up....do we just show up and walk in? Where does everyone generally sit? Can we buy beer?
  • slamoslamo
    Posts: 1,764
    Yes, just walk in. No concessions. A few of us sit in the Southside. Pack in pack out - there are no garbage cans so generally I bring a sack full of stuff and bring my garbage out with me. We don't want to give any reason to lose this. It is a much more organic experience in that we make up songs as we go.

    Anybody going to the game who lives in the Coquitlam or UBC areas? Just wondering if I could get you money to buy a flag from Brett so I can have one for the trip down to Shittle.

    Speaking of which, I wonder where "elsewhere" is going to be. I'd kinda like to go to the one on the 19th but the website still says "TBD" for the remainder. Have they really not figured it out yet, two weeks before the game? Or are they just too lazy to update their website?

    My money would be on SFU, but we shall see.

    Anywho, tonight versus Tacoma is supposed to be sunny: 18°C at kick-off, 15°C at the full-time whistle.  Sounds like a cracking start to the weekend.

    So who are the players to really watch from this squad, as potential future Whitecaps, now that Duckett and Morfaw are now up with the big squad?

    Nanchoff, Sylvestre.....who else?

    The 'Caps will have three Major League Soccer squad members in their PDL side for this weekend’s games. Philippe Davies will continue his development in the midfield, while forward Long Tan could make his first appearance for the Residency squad this season.



    Tan made his MLS debut as a late substitute in Whitecaps FC’s 1-0
    defeat at Philadelphia Union on March 26. It was away from home that Tan
    made his first MLS start on May 14, as Whitecaps FC fell 1-0 at New
    England Revolution. In the club's inaugural MLS Reserve League match on
    March 22, Tan assisted on Bedri Gashi's consolation goal, as Whitecaps
    FC reserves fell to 2-1 at San Jose Earthquakes reserves.



    Goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre
    will make his return to PDL action this weekend after he missed the
    past two contests following United States U-20 international duty in
    Vichy, France. While youngsters Callum Irving and Sean Melvin went undefeated during Sylvestre’s absence, but the return of the 18-year-old will be a welcome boost for Residency head coach Richard Grootscholten.

    Bryce Alderson and Daniel Stanese are both away on international Duty and as 17 year olds playing against men I suspect they may end up in Europe before we get to see them here. Derek Bassi is the 19 year old captain who will most likely end up playing MLS. He is currently on a three year contract which would say they have plans for him. Ben Fisk will drive you nuts. He'll pass it to nobody and be tentative on the ball one game and then run all over the pitch tucking passes through defenders and sliding goals underneath keepers into the bottom corners the next. He has a boatload of potential. Unfortunately all our U17's who most likely will all play pro are on international duty. My personal favorite, because he reminds me of young Russel Tiebert is Yassin Essa. Should probably add Spencer Deboice because he works so hard I wouldn't bet against him.

    ...and not sure if you've been following in the past, I left off the obvious D2 players: Toure, Stewart, Corbin-Ong and Gashi (though Gashi is out)

    Good fun tonight.  Match ended Vancouver 1-1 Tacoma.  Essa with Vancouver's goal, and despite owning the vast majority of possession, Vancouver conceded a penalty in the 89th minute.

    Apparently security don't want us going to the south end during PDL matches anymore.  That's okay... we can share our Southsiders lyrics with the families in the west stand!

    It was a great game. Sunday will see some traveling support so hopefully we get some supporters out for the young lads. I'm starting to believe that Ben Fisk will be a player we will only get to see on TV in the future. Not sure what happened but he has had a streak of amazing games he has certainly found some well deserved confidence and has controlled the last two matches.
