DoyleG Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The owner should at least have a couple big games out at Keith Harris to test the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Why doesn't he arrange a freindly against the impact (or the Lynx) but play the game at Terry Fox? "A pretty move, for the love of God." Eduardo Galeano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimglow Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 He's tried very hard, but they won't come. He could only get the Charlotte Eagles to come because of a clause in the transfer of one of their keepers.

socfan1 Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 The owner is challeging any A league team to come especially montreal or Toronto. He will pay the expenses of the trip if thier team beats the wizards. But niether team will accept the offer. The owner will play some games down at keith harris maybe later in the season or next year. He is also trying to bring in any big clubs and tournaments to be played at the facilities to show how nice they are. He thought if you build it they will come but I guess it didnt work.

If its true that the Wizards are trying to play a few matches at Keith Harris or Terry Fox then their owner is to be commended. I will be there to support them if it comes to pass. As is stands I cannot easily reach OZ stadium. With the WNT playing matches at Frank Clair and the possibility of MNT World Cup Qualifiers being held there next year, the Wizards should work with the CSA to play a double-header with the Ottawa club playing in the 1st match. This would help get the Wizards on the radar screen for many people in the region. Maybe the Lynx or Impact might have more interest in playing Ottawa if they would be opening for an international match to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoyleG Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 The Wizards whouldn't have much trouble getting sports dolalrs in Ottawa proper. It would be a good opprotuity to take advantage of the folding NLL franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socfan1 Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 The wizards might be a little out of the way but when you come to a game and see the quality of play and the stadium they play in you will be hooked. Yes they are trying to move downtown so they can have more of an audience but I know you wont be disappointed if you make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
