Pakenham Cup Pak Cup 2010

[LION]

Grass over turf ANY DAY.
Especially Poco's turf.

Kids under 25 are starting to think soccer is played on ARTIFICIAL turf.
Turf should be used only when a "decent" grass pitch can not be found.

Fcuk turf and the injuries that come with it.

also...

you know when you assume.....

 

[Dude]

Echo Regs...wow...guys bitching because they COULDN'T play on turf. This must be Bizzaro Soccer World, where there is a BCPL, Rangerforever doesn't post with a fencepost lodged up his ass, and KNVB is not a cnut.

Ghouse: sorry man...if it read "Gates Park", you should have inquired. Means anywhere on the park. Always, always, always in our pre-game chats the week of training, we discuss the possibilities of the surface if it isn't home. Always have. You are the only one to blame here.

Least I forget...JTL, you have something on your chin.

Again.

Dude, how's the golf game? Have you guys started training for Div. 1 next year yet?

Gates Gate 2010

Ghouse, slagging the President of our league on a public forum without any facts is very weak! Especially, considering he has stuck up for you and has looked past your outbursts in the past. Peace Arch have learned the hard way to prepare and contacting the league to inquire which surface we were playing on was initiated by us. We were told both were booked and the League was working with the City to prepare the grass as best as possible. As I've played on every pitch at Gates (used to know as Reeve before turf became the spotlight) they get water logged easily, so both sets of footware was in my bag.

Seriously, all of this moaning has taken away from the fact a fantastic game was played by both ACBC and PAU. I honestly couldn't be happier how we played from start to finish. That is because ACBC have some very talented individuals with blazing speed that can kill you on the counter if you are not constantly focused. Unfortunately the lingering knock on ACBC is they don't have the character guys who have been there or act like they've done that before. Yes, I know you won last year, but commitment and work ethic is something that is not occasional, it is constant. We all talk about what have you done lately, but truth is we are all measured by accomplishments over a long period of time. ACBC have had a great 12 months and should continue building toward future success. Trust me, PAU have had a tough season, but we appreciate the challenge in front of us.

Ghouse, before you take my opinion personally think about this very same League 5 years ago. Imagine a league that didn't include, 3 hour Wednesday night training sessions, Friday night games without changerooms, under armor, yellow boots, mittens, whoot whoots and a provincial flag for a jersey!

Yes, the FVSL did exist before you joined so open up your eyes and look beyond yourself. The FVSL has embraced your creative play and different perspective, maybe you should respect the path others have laid before you arrived on the scene. IMO the abundance of turf has ruined afternoon matches played on well maintained grass pitches. Like it or not, city workers are not spending their time on the up keep and clubs are pushing the men to play late at night on turf. Every injury I have had in the last 3 years is because of turf (and being out of shape).

Posted by: Reedie
I would like to see us go back to the old system where every game is scheduled to be played on grass and if the fields are closed then we switch to turf.

I completely agree with Reedie, even if he has an ACBC avatar! This being the 101st year of the Pakenham Cup, I am happy to say it has NEVER been played on an artificial surface. This tradition is something I hope remains, but with progression comes change.

Plan B if the weather does not cooperate.
South Surrey Athletic has both turf and grass booked for the Cup finals weekend. Everyone participating should read TTP, because you will not get contacted by the league directly. The grass out at SSA is something PAU are very proud of, however BC weather is unpredictable and turf will be used as an alternate.

The atmosphere at gates park on saturday was great. There was a good turn out and the weather help up. Both games were well played and exciting. TM does a great job in running the league and he should be commended for the time and effort he puts in. I know we are really excited to be in the finals and it should be a good test for us against PAU.

Re: The Apprentice

Finishing second in the league makes you clear cut favourites.
We are just happy to be in the mix at this point!
