Bus To The July 6th Match With Big Ridge Brewing Co.

Southsiders! Our partner, Big Ridge Brewing co, has a special offer for our members. They are organizing a bus to take Southsiders from their location in Surrey into Vancouver for the Seattle home match on July 6th. Below is a message from Gino Herring, the general manager at Big Ridge, with the details.

I have been very pleased with our collaboration this year and thanks to all of you who have been coming out and supporting the Vancouver Whitecaps in our Pub. We have had a great time cheering together and I am proud to have the pleasure of our association. I should also mention that one of your own, Rob Wheeler has been an integral part of this and very much my partner from the beginning of this journey. His enthusiasm and passion is the example of what your membership represents.

Some of you may be aware that we had planned bus trips that would transport you from our establishment to Doolin’s Irish Pub, another official partner of the Vancouver Southsiders, in time for the March to the Match at BC Place. You would then loudly participate in the match in all its glory and then be taken back to home base at Big Ridge where the festivities can continue. Or if you prefer, you can remain downtown to celebrate there. However if you choose to do so, you will be responsible for finding your own way home at that point. I unfortunately had to cancel our first booking due to a lack of interest at the time but we need to re-double our efforts.

This adventure is a win-win for all. Free parking at Big Ridge, a song filled bus ride to and from the game & a 20 oz pint of our craft beer all included in the $20 bus ticket. However each guest would be responsible for their own game ticket. You might well have to spend at least that on parking downtown not to mention worrying about having to drive. If the evening has gone really well and you are unable to drive home from Big Ridge, our complimentary shuttle service will ensure you arrive home safely. On game days we offer all our artisan pizzas for $8 and our 20 oz pints of craft beer for $4. Sounds like a plan to me.

I would very much like to book a Charter bus for the July 6th match vs Seattle Sounders, one of the Whitecaps Cascadia rivals, and possibly August 24th against the LA Galaxy pretty boys. But we need to know that enough people will be on board.

If you are interested in one or both of these trips, please email BRSSBustrip@gmail.com and advise which trip and how many people are coming. So come one, come all, and let’s make this happen!

Thank you all,
Gino Herring
