    Default Montreal Away - VCup - June 4th 2014

    Apologies if this has been posted already.

    Is anyone heading up for the away leg in Montreal. There's plenty of cheap travel options to Montreal and when I last looked hotels were pretty cheap too. Interested to see what sort of numbers we have going up

    There is a trip being organized by some members of the group, and is posted in the members-only section. Numbers seems small, being midweek.

    As far as unaffiliated persons using the board, maybe they would like to PM you and organize something.

    Yes we have a solid number that keeps growing, its looking like there will be 4 groups of about 4-5 people, so we should have a nice number. not last years 3200 number, but good for a mid week game

    If you want details on travel ect. let me know threw PM

    How much do Mega bus costs?? I saw VIA trains downtown Toronto to Downtown Montreal return trip about $90-$100. Might not be the cheapest option but probably the most comfortable ride up.

    Have people booked hotels yet? I'm cutting it mighty fine for time as I get into Montreal for 6pm. I'll be trying to get a hotel around the Via Rail station

    We booked ours already. Try Montreal Y Hotel or something Like that. It's pretty cheap and close to the rail station I believe.

    Hello lads, have my ticket, hotel booked, and Im on the 9.25am train. Its assigned seating on the train so if people want to get together for a few beers on board we may need to work some magic.

    Can't wait, got my banner packed and ready to get the party going. COYR

    call the impact ticket office and pre-game drinks will probably be at peel pub/mcleans (they are 3 doors away from each other on rue peel)

    What seat numbers are you both? Just in case we don't find you in the morning, not that a few drunk guys decked out in red will be hard to miss.

    I'm car 5. Prizby in 3 (hope your not hiding this info from board enemies)!

    For those still needing ticket, probably less headache to pickup direct from ticketmaster, just find something in section 112. Pay a small 2$ premium but cut out the middleman MTl FO, though they seem to be slightly more accommodating now.

    Car 5. I'll head down to car 3 if that works for others. I was planning on asking someone if they wanted to trade seats on the train so we can congregate
