jonovision Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) 3391 for Valour vs Cavalry. Very unpleasant afternoon to be sitting in the stadium. No more summer afternoon games, please! Edited July 1, 2023 by jonovision Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 They said the attendance at the Wanderers Grounds… I can’t remember it though… 6145?… I think. jonovision and gwsmith63 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNFootballer Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Crossposted from the VFC vs York thread : 2482 announced for VFC. I didn't like the move up in time for this one to 1:30 from the original 3pm, smoking hot in the sun on the metal stands. Prefer the game times later in the afternoon or eve, 5pm-7pm. More in the GA section than last game. Watchmen, SpursFlu, Bison44 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I'm interested to see what Vancouver's attendance is for this Friday night. Despite the "average", they've only actually cracked the 3000 mark twice, and once was the opener. The other was the Friday night game against Pacific. So I'm interested to see if maybe Friday is actually a better night for them (the kick off to the weekend) or if Pacific was a bit more of a "draw".

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 There was info on reddit about a special ticket offer being circulated for that Friday game against Pacific. There was a sudden major surge in apparent sales on the Showpass seat map a couple of days before the game. No sign of that happening so far for Friday's game and sales if anything appear slower than they were for the game on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its "Country Night" for this Fridays match, so not sure if that will draw or scare fans away;) Previous to that Friday Pacific game that drew over 3400, they had drawn 2800 and 2200 after the home opener so that one was a bit of a surprise boost for me. If they can draw 3000 for this one I'd be happy. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Drawing people to the game and the announced tickets distributed number are not one and the same thing. Sales look sluggish so far compared to last weekend where the Showpass seat map is concerned but I guess the Stetson wearing yokels might wind up on the far side that isn't opened up to public sale where single tickets are concerned. Maybe lower mainland BC is different from southern Ontario on this but if you wanted to specifically target the cranky soccer hater demographic who think our sport should be banned as a dangerous subversive unCanadian activity this would probably be the best way to go about it in a London, Ont context: Edited July 7, 2023 by Ozzie_the_parrot BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen this advertised for Valour matches, but 12 oz beers, or at least some of them, are $5 up until kickoff. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York United had a cheap beer before kick off promo earlier this season. The gates were scheduled to open an hour before kick off, but for some unexplained reason it was delayed by half an hour. So instead of an hour of cheaper beer it was half an hour of cheaper beer, and that was if you were at the front of the line to get in. While there were just a handful of people at the gate when it was supposed to open, by the time it actually opened there was a large backlog, so some people probably only got in 5 or 10 minutes before kickoff even if they were in line before the gate opened. They were also promising T-shirts to the first x amount of fans in the stadium, only to then at the gate inform people that kids don't get the T-shirts (I think because they were Carlsberg branded?) which wasn't mentioned in the advertisement. Those promotions were so poorly executed. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 They announced 2300 or so at the VFC-HFX match, did not hear clearly but I think that was what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a better fit for the CFL's fan demographics that skew heavily towards people who grew up watching the Tommy Hunter Show on CBC. Soccer's core demographics not so much but the people who run soccer in Canada often seem to crave acceptance from the demographics that are least likely to show up regularly when they really need to find a way to cater to their core base first.

It was 2321, guess country doesn't draw so well;) Guess you went to the game then, what were your thoughts on the stadium and experience if this was your first time? I thought even for the smaller crowd the atmosphere was still good, a fun game and nice to see the team playing better and getting the win.

It will bring in a few extra people here and there but I will say some of these stereotypes of soccer haters seems a bit dated. I think its more people who aren't familiar with the sport so why not bring em in with their family and they're likely to enjoy. Anyone who was at the game would have to have had a good time. Fanatics were doing their thing it was a great environment johnyb and Tigers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Updated my week to week chart. I set the top of the y-axis to 6000 so the final from last year is way off the chart, but you can better see the rest of the graph. 2023 is ahead on 10 of the weeks, and 2022 is ahead on 3 of the weeks so far. I'm missing data for 2 Forge games (June 25th and May 31st). Trois Reds, jonovision, Kingston and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think the big potential amazing attendance windfall is that maybe potentially 2 CPL teams might have the chance to host Messi and Inter Miami in Champions Cup next year. Can you imagine the potential scenarios? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNFootballer Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 2239 for Vancouver FC, smoking hot on the metal seating, wish these saturday games started at 7pm instead of 4pm. Seemed like more no shows than usual, at the lake/ocean likely. johnyb and ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
