Now that the schedule is out, let's talk road trips: The July 4 Jersey game is a must. Think we can fill a bus? I'm tempted by the 4/18 game against the Freedom (with the Revs playing DC on the 17th). 5/31 at Jersey - It's a Sunday, time TBA, so I don't know if we could fill a bus for this one. But hopefully we can get a decent number down there anyway. Thoughts?
Oh, we're filling a bus on the 4th alright! I think it's perfect timing for it. Spring soccer is over and District soccer starts the next week.....well, that's good for me at least! I wish the Revs/Breakers in DC weekend was a month or so later and a Sat/Sun...IDK what kind of Revs contingent we'd get for a Friday night match in DC so early in the season... As for the May 31st match...I'm there but a bus might be tougher. I really want a good group on the 4th. But hey, 2 bus trips to Jersey?? sounds good. It would be incredible to pull tht off in year 1. Of course we travel to any away playoff match....Oh who am I kidding, we'll be home through the final!
With school vacation the following week for those that may want to check out the Smithsonian and other parts of Obama-land. As long as the taxes are done.
I'll be in town for the Breakers and Revs weekend (I'm in college in DC)- if anyone is coming down, I'll buy in for tickets in the supporters section for Revs & Breakers. Also, anyone coming down for the Breakers game who I could hitch a ride with? I'm currently car-less and the SoccerPlex is not on mass transit. Thanks
Julie and I just booked flights to DC for this weekend, so we'll be at the Breakers/Freedom game and the Revs/United game. We'll also be carless though, but I imagine we'll figure out some way to get to the SoccerPlex. If anyone else is going we can look into getting tickets as a group.
I'm in for a bus trip, and my daughter, who has always refused to take a bus trip to watch the Revs, wants to go as well.
I'm strongly considering doing the DC trip. I was a bit hesitant at first as my U18 team plays Sunday mornings at 8:30am. But after looking at the schedule it appears that April 19th is my bye week! At this point I'm 50/50 flying/driving....if I go of course!
Put me down for at least one. The car/transportation is a problem- the nearby commuter rail is only open on weekdays and it would be 3+ miles from the closest Metro stop. Maybe we could hitch rides with the Freedom supporters group? Julia
Not sure of my logistics yet, but I think I'm staying Friday and Saturday in Rockland near the Metro. Depending upon which wheels I drive down there'll be room for at least three (plus beer).
still glass! Now I'm leaning toward driving down. But then flying from BWI to join some family in Florida for a week. So anyone driving down with me (Tim? Bryan?) would have to spring for a one way flight home...or find a return leg. no firm plans as of yet though...
Bump. Who's in for the DC game? We should look into getting tickets as a group. Add your name to the list if you're going (and I'm hoping someone with a car is coming down for this one, because I'd rather not crawl 10 miles on broken glass ) Breakers @ Freedom - April 18, 2009 Jackie Julie
Breakers @ Freedom - April 18, 2009 Jackie Julie Julia I don't have a car, sorry. So I'll be trying to hitch a ride too I know a bunch of the Freedom fans, though, so I could end up hitching a ride with them if needed. But I'll go in for a ticket with other Breakers fans.
The Freedom are providing discounted taxis to the stadium this weekend (includes a free t-shirt, at least this week)- I'll keep an eye out for any information concerning something similar next weekend... http://www.womensprosoccer.com/newsitem_ektid11086.aspx?team=dc by the way- depending on my transportation (aka are the Freedom fans willing to drive someone dressed in blue?) next week, I may do this if I can find three others to go with me...
