    After telling them I was tired of seeing them play middling English teams every year in the middle of our season, they schedule a middling Welsh team to shut me up.

    I not only don't care about this game, I hope they lose. To win means that energy was exerted on this incredible waste of time. Let some of the starters jog around for 20 minutes, backups for 25 minutes, then let Bethlehem Steel play the second half. Medunjanin, Onyewu, and Elliott should get the night off up the shrimp deck.

    They got some lame-o Game of Thrones promotion, to boot. The graphic design intern is having a ball with it. A game I don't care about is coming.

    Looks like after three days of awful heat and humidity it will be a nice sunny weekend. Don't think I'll use that time watching a half baked 1-1 nail biter.

    I hope it's an empty stadium and the FO stops making us pay for meaningless games.

    I opted to go spend quality time with family and friends up in the Poconos.

    And I don't even like the mountains, especially in the summer.

    I wasn't going to open this thread cause I couldn't possibly care less about this game, but after seeing the poll results (10 for meh, 1 for loss) I'm glad I did.

    I hope they win.

    I would really enjoy seeing the Union's social media include the game in teams "undefeated" streak.

    Would like to go but will be doing the Spartan race in the Poconos. Gave my ticket to someone who needed it so he could take his whole family.

    "Meh" is an understatement for this one as far as I'm concerned.

    Most of these friendlies have been scheduled on the midweek, so I also thought it was tonight.

    Post of the year.


    I'll go because I have a ticket, but my interest ends there.... I'll probably mosey around the beer garden make look at the river view instead of watch the game.

    They should really just put these BS games up at Lehigh and call it day... should primarily be Steel players playing a long with the deep bench players and academy kids. Swansea playing up there would probably have more impact and buzz anyway.

    It's not even like anyone from Swansea is worth going to see. Llorente got hurt and Sigurdsson is sold already, I think?

    We're gonna go see Hamlet at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Although if anyone is actually going to this I'd love to know who this year's Matt Kassel F-for-Effort Champion ends up being (Nevermind - it's gonna be Ken Tribbett).

    Oddly enough, if this was at Goodman Stadium I'd probably be more inclined to go.

    Union actually trying to convince everyone that there are 16,250 people for this match.
