Me too, I'd totally go and watch another game this weekend.
As cliche as this sounds, I think I would prefer to have a lively British announcer for the games... I think it would add to the fun factor and put a European dynamic into the experience. The current announcer sounds nasally and kinda boring.
Awesome, anyone see the Lane United coach flip us the bird?
Last night's game was probably the most entertaining game of the year. Lane United play a good villain, they are chippy and an easy team to get a hatred for. Outside of that they are probably the best run club in the PDL that isn't a product of an MLS club, they were the only club that streamed our away game.
If Hellard was full, it would be an awesome time. I would expect more people to show up next year. Connections to the community are still being built; this is always an ongoing process for the first five years for startups like these.

Glad to hear it was a good time for those who could make it. If it's fun to go to, that's the most important thing.
Chatted with Tommy Wheeldon after the game, he mentioned that a number of places were looked at this year, and are being looked at for next year. Asked him about Calgary Rugby Park and he said that is a nice place but has a bumpy and sloped pitch so not necessarily ideal. He also mentioned potentially looking at one of the grass fields at the Calgary Soccer Centre, but more stands would need to be added.
Elijah Adekugbe is probably the club's best player, I imagine he will be moving his way up the ladder soon.

One of my friends from London would be perfect. He was the tall English guy with a massive beard in the Beer Gardens last night. He would be a proper laugh.

And then get in a proper fistfight after the game with pints to follow?

Ya I've met him a few times. Hard to miss. Would be great.
Here's a video from CTV News on the new facility Calgary Foothills is building. Take note, Calgary Flames, it's 100% privately funded.
HarryH93, last year season tickets came out in the spring. I'll get a new thread up when the 2016 schedule is announced and can link to how to get season tickets when they are available.
