kingleysniper Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Long time follower of the Canucks, don't really post but as a consumer I was wondering with the Canucks brand taking a big hit this year, especially after the tdl is it possible we see a change in the city where the Whitecaps following increases immensely and people start choosing the Whitecaps over the Canucks. For me I've taken my kids to both Whitecaps and Canuck games, and tbh I've enjoyed the Whitecaps alot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 People should go to what they find the most entertaining. If the Canucks play like they did last night people will show up, if they go scoreless 2 of every 4 games then yes people will choose other events to go to. Rightfully so.

luongotv Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm a die hard Canucks fan, die hard Liverpool fan, AND diehard Miami Dolphins fan (Yeah, I know, shhhh) True sports fans can accommodate and love multiple sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU3GR33NBL00D Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Whitcaps are half the price and twice the fan experience. Don't think it'll affect the Canucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 i can not pay to watch a sport than can have a game end in a 0-0 tie. No thanks. Plus soccer has too many players faking injuries than popping up to score the game winner... Canucks ahead of Whitecaps any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 With the Lions only pulling in a little over 21,000 fans (And that I think is questionable). The Lions have the 2nd worst attendance in the CFL. Maybe the Lions and the Canucks should worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I noticed you picked a Premiership team and an NFL team as your other teams to love. Why not the local Whitecaps and Lions? The Canucks don't really have any competition in this market? They compete with a second teir football team and a third teir soccer team. The only true top of its sport game in town is the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dura_mater Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm not a big fan of water polo so I why would I start following the White caps instead of the Canucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hah! Good one! Oh, you're serious.. And you're asking hockey fans in a hockey forum? I think soccer players should play with purses on, so they can check their little make-up mirrors to see how they look while they're rolling around on the turf pretending to be hurt.

Chris Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 There is just as much of a chance of the Canucks losing fans to golf as their is to the White Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best sport to check out current men's hairstyles and sleeve tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPatrick33 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nothing beats playoff hockey, where players lay it all on the line.... not so sure about soccer players doing that. Once we are a playoff upstart team again, things will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Goblin Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 LOL! I'd rather watch our non-playoff Canucks team than ANY championship soccer team. Soccer is a fun sport to play, but professional soccer is just brutal to watch. I mean, who wants to watch a bunch of slim dudes running around a field for 90+ minutes? And most of the time, the final score is 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Different fan base really so doubtful. Also, it is always good to remember that Vancouver sports fans are a bit different in other cities like say Edmonton. Canucks fans tend to be Canucks fans rather than hockey fans or sports fans. So, they don't tend to switch from say Canucks to Giants to Lions to Whitecaps depending on how they're doing. Typically they go from Canucks to BluRay at home.
