Good job with the diving tifo today. Simple but effective and looked great on the jumbotron! Really added to the ire felt throughout the crowd.

Best Canadian Beer/Lager/Ale

BC Place (Warning Lots of Images)
This isn't about getting out of the stadium management business, it about sticking the loss on the Liberal's books. This will be sold in the next 6 months to get to loss on the Liberal's last budget and not the NDP's first. I re…

Poor Attendance at BC Place
The Whitecaps are not pricing out the key supporters, they have done everything possible to keep prices reasonable for STH in the supporters section (12% discount, multiple pricing zones, student prices, priority relocation, etc). As for gameday pr…

Poor Attendance at BC Place
Based on the recent history of the club, 18,000 for an unattractive opponent in Week 2 is a pretty good turn out. Vancouverites are fickle. Between the Euro-snobs, the "soccer sucks" NHL/CFL crowd, and the "I don't like sports&q…

The Return of "White Is The Colour"
The didn't realize that the last names were cut. I just figured that it was so loud that I couldn't hear them! I would bet that getting Boundary Road on the jumbo-tron would be difficult due to the fact that the game has started and they …

Waterfront Stadium Movement
There will never be grass at BC Place. The stadium is needed for trade shows and they need to be able to cover the turf up for boat, car, garden, cooking, whatever expos 10 weekends a year. Also the CFL is better on turf because of the durability. S…

2013 Season Tickets (pricing, etc.)
I would really appreciate some details on the points/rewards aspect of the card. I got a feeling that we'll need to buy a ton of "merch" before getting a reward of any real value.

Supporters Shield
CrownJules said: I think it's safe to say that a league with playoff rounds that are best-of-7 is less of a crapshoot that one with a single-game knockout. As for the LA Kings last season, they did finish 8th, but they had a very s…

March to the Match 2013
I agree with @Angry_Irish . Frankly, I don't care about the warm-ups and would rather have another pint at Doolin's than $8 Budweiser in an empty BC Place. My seat-mates and I have done the march before but always end up stopping for a dri…

Future of the Southside
What is the mission statement of the Southsiders? I ask because it is impossible to improve as an organization if no one has defined what the ultimate goal is. The charter has a vision with 10 items listed, it's not feasible for a group to wor…

How far did you go to support VWFC 2012?
I only made one away match, Sept 1 in LA. Disappointing loss, more disappointed with Home Depot Center's $9.25 price for anything other than Bud. My best memory was awkwardly telling Joe Cannon's somewhat tipsy father that he was standing…

The Southside Tonight
Our seats are just below the concourse in 248 and the Super Kenny Miller chant was being used but still over-powered by Ken-ny Mil-ler. The Oh Barry Robson chant was inaudible for us. I think it would really help if we got the RCB on board with the…

Perry on the post game; said Caps were trying to move Hassli this month. .is this true?
Would Hassli really want to play here next year if he knows he will be the 3rd striker in 1 striker formation? I suspect he will be open to a trade/transfer in the winter.
