Vancouvers site just says that their people are working flat out on the pitch to get the game on .
Sky Sports News have said it every half hour for at least the last 2 hours. That said given the time difference it's unclear where they have the information from.

Has this been confirmed?
It's confirmed that it's postponed, but not sure if it's definately going ahead tomorrow or not. The OS mentions they are "in need of a dry night" for it to go ahead.

shouldnt disrupt things too much

Could for the fans travelling from Kelowna and outlying areas!! Could for the people taking time off work.


That's nothing that..... "when I were a lad"......... back in 1996, a gang of us travelled to China for the pre-season tour ......... only 12 of us City fans there (it was before we became a global "brand") ........ supposed to be a 3 match pre-season ...... they played the first match and cancelled the other two due to flooding ........ expensive trip for one match that.
 
Re: Vancouver game postponed

Not a word from here about the match being postponed. Weather forecast looks good, about to set off from Kelowna with fingers crossed.
 
Re: Vancouver game postponed

I bet they read the "game is on tuesday" forgetting the time difference

I've seen nothing from city or vancouver that says the match is delayed
