I have been reading a little bit here and there about the "Tailgating" Situation at the shaw is there info on anything regarding the Casbah and 1906 getting together early? What time does this picnic area open for us? I'll call Anthony if needed to get the information out.
I talked to Anthony the other day and he said that there will be an e-mail coming out very shortly that discusses the tailgate situation, etc.
I got word that the Ultras are trying to work something out with The Hut on Franklin. The Hut has a BBQ patio in the back so that may be a good place to tailgate.
If Club Quake can pull this off, I think it would be a good idea for the Casbah and the Ultras to join the party. We can practice our songs and chants there before the game AND how cool would it look to see everyone at the party walk a couple of blocks down to Buck Shaw singing and chanting the whole way.
So here's the info I have for May 3rd, FYI.
