Great stuff. This club, whether home or away, will bring a serious sense of pride and tradition to the MLS.
Glory, Glory, Philadelphia! Glory, Glory, Philadelphia! Glory, Glory, Philadelphia! And the UNION marches on!!
the pre-announcement brouhaha in the center of city hall was tres impressive. -EDIT- images snagged from philly.com.
From Strawbs "Part of the Union": [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdOCWUgwiWs"]YouTube - Strawbs - Part of the union 1973[/ame] Now I'm a union man Amazed at what I am I say what I think That (insert team we are playing here) stinks Yes I'm a union man.
I think the original Civil War lyrics are better: "Now give three cheers for the Union! Now give three cheers for the Union! Now give three cheers for the Union! As we go marching on! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! As we go marching on!" There's also a verse about hanging Jeff Agoos (okay, Jeff Davis) from a sour apple tree that I'm sure we could do something with...

Just got off the phone with one of the anchors from the Report and following the interview sent him the video as well. The interview won't be on until The Pulse section of the program tomorrow night, but the video may sneak in tonight when they run a full Philadelphia package or it could be held for tomorrow. JT, I am glad I picked the over.
Here's the NBC10 story click on the video link on the left side: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/And-The-Name-Is.html
I will be uploading my pictures tonight but thought the videos would interest those both there and absent more.
I headed down to Philly from Allentown solo since my two friends backed out on me at the last minute. It was nice to get off the train sometime after 8AM and see the SoB right away... What a day!! Go Uuuuuuuuuuunion!
Here are two pictures from inside of McGillians yesterday morning. Blurry Pic of Union Prez Tom Veit holding a beer in one hand and a flag pole in the other: I'll refer to the next pic as "the beer table":
Now I am afraid. First there was one Bolton, 3 chins. Then a second evil twin Bolton joined, followed by a mini-Bolton. Now this. Yikes. The Boltons are multipling more quickly then his chins.
SoB's for a City Block? Hold on to your butts A packed Dilworth Plaza More pics uploaded on flickr now
