Come oooooooon down. Let the SouthIslanders branch of the Southsiders host all of you

The missus and I should be up for this, especially as there won't be an FC Edmonton semi-final in the Voyageurs Cup.

I was about to ask for Monday, May 23rd off from work... then realized it's a stat holiday.  Brilliant!

It's a Saturday match, no?

I will be at as many Vic High games this year as possible. I'm making up a Black & Gold flag and a banner for the Lake Side Bouys end, though I do have small kids. And bagpipes.

Huh. Where is that, Ted? Come on, share!

Ah, that looks like an inexpensive and good idea. Thanks for the link.

I'm making a square, large chequered flag. It's all good!

Typical, I move to Vancouver and they move the team four blocks from where I use to live.  \:D/

The intimate facility at Langford is excellent, but I can't say I'm sad to see a move to RAP - a place where I've watched the Vistas, 86ers, Winnipeg Fury, Dundee United, Chelsea (yes, Chelsea FC from London), and numerous international teams.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the Highlanders will be stuck at a much much much better venue for half the year? Well that's a shame.

Yup great start for the Highlanders.  Got season tickets, looking forward to the games!

I have a funny feeling that Kitsap is going to be the team to beat in the division this year

I think the people in Kitsap country need to invest more money in their education programmes :P

Love the Kitsap supporters!

BTW, despite what Ben Massey wrote in his 86ers Forever column, the home opener vs your lot is this SATURDAY MAY 21st not Sunday.

I have enjoyed some of Massey's writing, but I was pretty disappointed with his lame apology for gay-bashing (he compared it to the "you fat bastard" taunt) in a recent column on the CSN.

I love singing, dancing, flags and football, but in 2011 there is no defence for violence, sexism, racism, or anti-gay comments in soccer culture. I will continue to argue that swearing also has no place, but I know that's not one I will win until we stamp out the four more harmful things in the previous sentence.

No, you weren't explaining a joke I already got (linear thinkers like me miss most internet jokes unless they are explained), so thanks for letting me know who you are on this site. I don't think I have any internet anonymity here, considering I sign in here from my Facebook account and try to keep my internet pseudonym consistent on all internet sites. I'm still reading your posts, but I obviously disagreed with your opinon on the comments on that post (by Pierce? Pearce?). Cheers.

Good on them for having supporters. If any of us lived there, this would be our team. It takes dedication to support the PDL! Not only that, I can respect any team in hoops.

As the Kitsap Pumas and Portland Timbers U23s have identical records (and drew against each other), there will be a coin toss this morning to determine which club will qualify for the US Open Cup.

6 VHFC supporters made the trip to Bremerton to the VHFC / Kitsap Pumas game on Sunday, 24 June. The game was a 3-0 demolition of the PDL-leading home team by Victoria Highlanders. Pubs in Port Angeles and Bremerton, burger bbq hosted by Kitsap fans, great weather, great football - it was a great day all around. We outchanted the Kitsap fans, though having bagpipes does help in that regard.

For those looking for the chance to have fun with a smaller group of fans, supporting your PDL team is the way to go.

Thanks for posting that, Devon. Allison (front) and Ian had a great BBQ lunch for us.

It will probably be an easy sell to the six of us after that trip. I'll start drumming up numbers on the Facebook page!

Update: Ventura County Fusion have kindly agreed to stream the Seattle Sounders U23s vs. FC Tucson match at 7:30pm as well. Same link as in message above.

After extra time: Ventura County Fusion 1-0 Portland Timbers U-23s.

Seattle Sounders U-23s vs. FC Tucson up next (~8:30pm), with Seattle being the last remaining Cascadian PDL club. Seattle are favoured to win today; and if they meet Ventura tomorrow in the conference final, the extra 30 minutes that Ventura had to play today could prove decisive.

Live video stream is here.

LOL... Seattle's former MLS striker, Nate Jaqua, starting again today for the U-23s. Unless I'm mistaken, he didn't play a single match during the regular PDL season, but was brought in for the playoffs. Me thinks the USL need to tighten up the squad rules for 2013.

Not to belittle them, but they're probably family members.

They're standing, and they've got flags, scarves, and club shirts. Families tend to be sitters/clappers/vocally silent/visually unassuming, so good on this lot.
