From the Front Office: Special Event

 If you are available one week from next Monday it might be worth your while to respond to the invitation below from the FO.

No real rumours yet but there is a lot of speculation that the fate of the Women's team will be announced after the financially poor season this year.

Pre-History of the Buoys - Part 1

OK, really this is just an excuse to post a mildy amusing picture of some of us in the days before the Highlanders were even a small gleam in Alex's eye.

What you see here is a shot from the CONCACAF Qualifying Tournament for the 2001 FIFA Youth World Championship held at UVic in late February - Early March 2001. The highlight for me was seeing Ian Hume for the first time - been a fan ever since. The second highlight was the "Mr Canoehead" supporters hats. Only Drew is wearing his in the picture - I had one as well.

I was reminded of this old Voyageurs meme when we recently began tossing around something Steven Hart (current MNT coach) said that has taken on an odd life of it's own: Taste the Soup. As in give our mens national team games a try, it is a mix of odd ingredients, but you might get a taste for it.

Time for a Supporters trust?

With the recent news of poor off-field results there has been some discussion of what we could do. One of the ideas floated is that of a supporters trust as a way to financially contribute to the club and at the same time gain some control of the club as a group of supporters.

Wallpapers

I was inspired by some wallpapers I saw for Portland and Vancouver and so I whipped up something for the Highlanders based on a map from c. 1861 and "bird's eye view" from c.1878.

Logan's Pub for Next Game

As we prepare to take on our favorite opponents (Portland Timbers) this Saturday we will be trying out Logan's Pub on Cook St staring around 5:00 pm. Kick-off this Saturday is again 7:30 so that gives us lots of time especially when RAP is practically across the street!
