    Village of Vancouver

    Just a little...most of it belongs to TSN, so it's pretty limited. If anyone has any home movies or home video of the Swangard era, I'd be much obliged.

    A pause...and a new direction...

    Thanks Johnny...but as you can imagine, I'm not going far. I'm going to get out to as many VWFC events as I can, and we've been able to keep the guys I've stood with for years at Swangard together at BC Place (and Empire as well, I expect).

    Possible new small stadium for Surrey in 2012

    Last week, Surrey was awarded the 2012 BC Summer Games. As there is no current spectator facility in the city, it would seem that this would probably open the door for a new multi-use small stadium south of the Fraser. Surrey is already BC's second largest city at about 420,000...and it is...

    Responding to outrage and pressure from the sports community, the BC NDP offically backed down from their attacks on the BC Place renovations. They also made clear that their platform now includes the full $365 million for the renovations, and includes the retractable roof. The NDP have now also...
