    Its Houston, New York and Tornoto FC between Mar 24 and 31

    Kind of surprised its not LA, thought that might be part of the deal with Glinton. Maybe we will see them later in the year?

    and Im sad we wont have DC they always brought a good group of guys down. I guess well have to hope to meet them in the USOC.

    As to new york who know what (or who) we'll see. Arena has pretty much stripped the team down and they have two Designated player slots and tons of Red Bull money to throw at a couple palyers to get them in the Jan transfer.

    Toronto will be an unknown and I wonder if Mark Watson's connections had anything to do with them coming.

    Thanks for the offer, Mikey. Hope you're doing well. Back in CONUS yet?
    As for you, Mr Bribe Taker, jealous of the inaugural Champions, are we?

    Screw that. Next time you see a C-17 with SC plates on the tarmac, put this on and sneak a ride home...

    Sucks that I won't be able to make this one, I guess seeing Arsenal vs PSV at Emirates will have to make up for it.

    I was surprised that D.C. didn't get slated to play this year. Don't think I'll be making the trip. Hope the Battery can pull off an upset.

    Hi guys and gals, I see that tickets are now up for sale for the CCC, and I'm planning on coming down for the 6 game series, I was just wondering where visiting fans generally sit. Please save all of the "out in the parking lot" et. al., serious question so I don't end up in a Charleston supporter section :) Thanks for the info

    When I went down the first two years, it was hardly a sell out, so you could pretty much sit anywhere. Just stay away from the drinkers of The Regiment! Bad things happen if you drink with The Regiment!!!

    Bribeys uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt makes roofies unnecessary!!!

    But Brook is right, it usually doesnt sell out so feel free to move to open seats if you want, there usually isn't any problems with people checking tickets or anything! plus the Battery supporters arent a bad lot usually and it just an exhibition which to me is just an excuse to drink!!!

    Specifically, the only thing resembling a supporter's section is E10 (east stands, section 10). Wednesday night will be a light crowd, the weekend matches are obviously better attended but figure around 2500-3000 midweek and about 3500-4000 on the weekends, baring any wild weather. And the atmosphere is very fan friendly, you won't have any problems no matter where you sit.

    PS. For the record, I have extensive photo evidence that Brook had nothing but good times when he was in Chucktown....if you ignore his beer throwing police incident......and when he almost severed his left leg off.....

    I did look at all of the photos, that broken window on the car wasn't caused by fan rivalry was it? With my Jersey plates and red bull license plate holder... lol, it almost looks like a soccer ball hit it with that dent.

    He-He, the broken window was another Columbus fan's car, I forgot the story on what happened but I'm pretty sure it wasn't game related, I think he was in a wreck of something.

    oh good, I didn't think it was a break in because all of the electrical gadgets still seemed attached, but if it was some disgruntled fan... :D How did he hurt his leg?

    Jevanvoo-- The leg was damaged on the way home from the match. The Regiment got me rather intoxicated and I fell out of the Jeep into a curb. Once I picked myself up, I fell again into a fire hydrant, denting my forehead slightly.
    The beer throwing cop incident was from the first Carolina Challenge Cup, which Columbus won. I am the beer throwing cop. It was late into the "championship" decider between DCU and The Crew. A PK was awarded to DCU and John Busch made the save to give us the Cup. In my excitement over the save, my large beer went flying and landed squarely on the head of a DCU supporter about 6 rows below me. It almost came to blows but Charleston Police showed up and escorted me from the grounds. Thankfully, the grounds didnt include the Three Lions Pub where I drank out of the Cup with my beloved Crew.
    The car damage was from a fender bender which Dave Brull was involved in on the way home, somewhere in North Carolina, I think.
    Those are the events as I remember them. Bribe Taker can now have his say!

    lol, you guys sound like fun, I'm sorry you won't be down there at the same time I am :( I think that your beer throwing aim is near perfect ;) and if it wasn't for the waste of a full beer....
