What I read it was 25,000 and it was expandable. Hard to find now since it's been torpedoed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Wiki' says 20K and expandable. Course 'Wiki' can be edited. Alf's wiki page says he was the GOAT. Now I wonder who wrote that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Being a Whitecaps fan it's easy to forget that soccer can be entertaining. And then you watch a game like LAFC/Galaxy tonight. Terrific! One of the most entertaining games I've seen in a long while. The stars score, end to end action, fans are into it (love those LAFC fans - they never stop cheering) - really a good game. Now, if only we could see games like that here in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game against the 'Quakes was horrific. Absolutely the worst marking I've ever seen. The defenders left Wando wide open at the back post a half dozen times that I saw, which is not good, considering they gave up about a million corners....

UnkNuk Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Congratulations to the Seattle Sounders on their 3-1 victory over Toronto in the MLS Cup in front of 69,000+ fans. From a neutral's point of view, I thought the game was so-so but I'm sure the Sounders fans enjoyed every minute of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-SN- Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Toronto and Seattle perpetually in the finals is such a nightmare for the Whitecaps management. The Sounders have been a success right from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me they have to make a splash in their signings. If we just get another couple of no-names, in the hope they may pan out, I would guess that more and more Vancouver fans will agree with you.

Not only do the Whitecaps not spend much money on players, they don't even spend the money they spend very well: https://www.eightysixforever.com/2019/7/16/20694135/its-so-much-worse-than-you-think-the-vancouver-whitecaps-and-the-bargain-bin Edited November 12, 2019 by Brad Marchand 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I (and others) have been Charlie Brown to the Whitecap ownership's Lucy and the football. Up til this season I've been skeptical about the idea that the ownership just didn't care that much about winning. But this season has caused me to rethink that. So I'll be watching this offseason with some interest. One thing - and maybe I'm grasping at straws here - but is it possible that the ownership has been economizing these last few seasons in order to build a warchest with which to create a solid contender? Might they surprise us all with a high level signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just keeps getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Well finally sounds like they have their guy. The keys in all this is how much autonomy he will truly have and how much he can spend out of the pockets of the owners. If those two factors aren’t met with this hiring then it’ll be just another Paul Barber situation. We shall see but welcome Axel and all the best of luck. https://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2019/11/15/axel-schuster-sporting-director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
