Myself and @JDub will be there, we're seasons ticket holders!

Right, but I am trying to arrange something to bring the out of towners together. 

Chatting with Allen and waiting to see what their plan is.  In my head you guys were going to Capital, but that is too small for you now.

It might be good for us.  I don't think we should take any space away from any BSB event. 

Not even sure how sensible this is with bars opening at 11 and all.

Ah, those were the days!  Dark days for Canadian soccer, but still fondly remembered.

I don't remember that name but I remember Brad Parker who was playing in Holland and disappeared after being with Feyenoord youth club. He was a big prospect for us. He got some MNT caps at 18-19 years old.

Wait, who was the guy at Stevenage then.... ended up in an FA Cup tie, I had to pay $20 to get into a legion that was putting it on TV on Kingsway.

* Looking back I can now appreciate how insane people thought I was.

If anyone's driving from Toronto I would be happy to pitch in for gas. Carpool?

Also, I'll put you down for a ticket?

You can come up with me, but I might be going early to avoid traffic and set up a table. 

This is NOT going to be something you can just go to at the last second.

Ticket sales are going very fast, and it is not a big space.

Post in this thread if you want to go so I can get some tickets put aside for us, but I need to know ASAP!

Also might be looking for some volunteers to help out at an info table for us if we get approval.

Oakville's home match will likely be played at Tim Horton's Field in Hamilton.

I thought that was nixed.

Maybe it found its way back on the table.

We are planning, for the second leg of this series in Oakville to show up in force to welcome these two teams to The Voyageurs Cup for the first time.  This marks an important and historic development in the competition. 

More details will be made available as we make arrangements and the venue and times are finalized. 

The game will be on June 13th.

It cost 6 million euros, seats 6000, took about 30 months to build.

I'd like to order 10 of those please.

Ok, it is also in the navigation menu now.

Will this work as interm solution until something can be done with a database?

Can I suggest some things on the formatting of the doc? 

1. Let's not try to use country colors in the headers for dividers. There are several people that are color blind that use this forum, and they will not be able to read some of those.

2. Put a space between the countries.

3. In trying to keep it to fit, I would drop the twitter, as we can replace the users name with a link to the players profile which will include a twitter block.  I would not drop the stats, those are the most interesting thing.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

What about the embedded document?

The menu system is getting a complete overhaul in version 4.1.  This software is still effectively release candidate.

Wit the menu system we could have drop down menus for pages with a women's document, youth document mens document ect...

http://www.thevoyageurs.org/testing/

If we drop the twitter handle, use country codes, position codes and a shorter division system, this will fit on a dedicated page.

I would suggest spaces between the countries and additional copies of the column headers throughout the document.

Can someone share me on this doc, or send me the embed code to socceronly@gmail.com

I want to try to fix mimglow's attempt at embedding on a dedicated page with more space.

Doing this as a database would serve several functions.

This may seem ironic, but the best way to get back to the list people like built by a database is via the Google doc. It can be more readily imported, though that depends on what and how we choose to do this.

Once that data is in a database we can output it in different ways to serve people's preference or use. Outputting the list people are used to is the easiest thing to do.  But let's no limit ourselves, lets' go beyond.

Let me give you an example. Several years ago, before the old forum got smashed, I built a graphic line up generator. You could add the player names and drag them around into what ever formation you wanted and insert it into the post.  This came from a small test database I added.   That was built in flash, which is a no go today. I have to  jump into HTML 5/JS and rebuild it.  But this database could serve as the basis for it.

Other examples would be player profiles. This could be as simple as using the membership profile system built in and pulling data from it. There would be side benefits to this. What we do for the players could also work for our members.   Instead of listing the twitter link in a doc, we would have a twitter block on the payers profile. We could add fields to the profile so that when Tuscan goes to Canada vs Honduras, he gets a Cap. Same way a player would.

Where they play, their status ect, would be the basis for a much richer realm of content.

Ok, hoooold on...  I have been eyeing that thing for a long time.

It begs to be coming out of a database.

Now with the incorporation of the Vs as a non profit, CSN may get rolled into that though it's not clear yet.

If CSN uses Drupal, I can make something really really nice to do this.

The DB/CMS side of things on this system is pretty good, but is rather quirky.  Let me have a closer look.  It would be best to keep it all here.   I'll take a look at this early next week. I wasn't planning on doing fancier things until the 4.1 version of this software is released. (upgrading in middle of November)  I think something that is both easier to use, and gives us a lot of rich content would be the best thing.
