The Vernon Vipers won 3-2 in game one of the Interior Conference Semi-Finals Tuesday night in Vernon, it was a great game for the Vipers as they came out fast and furious and showing no signs of rust after over a week off. The crowd that did show up was loud and proud the whole way though and made sure the players knew they were there for them. Unfortunately it wasn't enough fans to guarantee the $10 rate for any games after Wednesday. To hold the $10 rate the Vipers would have to completely sell out and get over 3000 fans to the game. It may have been disappointing to see less then 2500 fans but the businesses around Vernon are sure stepping up the show their support. So far Prestige Hotel & Conference Centre, Johnston Meier, Vernon Mini-Storage, Swan Lake Nurseryland, Go-Go Box, Wendy's, Boston Pizza and Affordable Auto...they're all showing their Viper Pride with painted windows and "Go Vipers Go" on their marquee and billboard signs and the Vipers thank you!!!!!!! If you have a business that is showing your Viper Pride please let us know!i
So here's to hoping the City of Vernon can get behind their team and can pack the pit to its maximum capacity ...it IS possible and if everyone who came Tuesday night came again with a friend then not only would we be sold out but tickets will stay at $10 each instead of going to $15 each!!
See you Wednesday at 7pm for game 2!!!!
Vipers Take Game One
