Hey Trey.

I've lived here 96% of my life and have never seen Brian Timmis, it's that field hidden behind that horrid looking 10' wooden fence on Faloney Way right? Ya, we need to keep that gem.

Well said man. I agree with you 200%. Just walked my pooch by it tonight as they were doing the press conference who knows where, and I will look forward to actually seeing our stadium.

As for Brian Timmis Stadium. Can I ask where it would have went if they turned that area into a seniors villiage / community centre? Not sure a 5,000 seast soccer stadium with a big 10' wooden fence around it would have fit the site plans.

It was likely going to be moved either way - West Harbor or otherwise, so I think the BTS conversation is a moot point. Money is set in the budget to relocate BTS to the tune of $2.4m I believe it is. It's not like local kids could walk in there and kick the ball around so I believe it's not a very community accessible stadium like a park is.

By the way, here is a dwg of an early plan for the Ivor Wynne/Scott Park grounds. Page 26 of 95. It will be a parking lot. Was to have the Ti-Cats offices as well, but $18M is a lot of extra dough.
