I'd highly suggest not taking the PATH trains into the city if you're riding the bus... http://unprofessionalfoul.com/2010/...-you-can’t-pack-your-200m-stadium/#more-28821
In all fairness the writer did not mention the suspicious package bomb scare at the harrison Platform that is the actual reason the Path service was stopped.
Blake, do we have any idea what bar we're going to pre-game yet? Some of the guys not going on the bus are starting to ask.
I still haven't decided whether I'm going to try to go over to Manhattan for a couple hours. If I do I am planning on taking delays into account and leave from the WTC by 6:30. That provides up to an hour of delay time.
I'm due in at NY-Penn Station at 4:45 pm. What is the plan from 5 pm to gametime? Parking lot tailgate or pub? And if pub, where?
Tailgating is illegal, so thats out of the question, unfortunately! Looking at a few pubs, north of the stadium in Harrison. NY SG Leaders have said Ironbound (south of the stadium ) is where most NY supporters are at pregame, so be cautious of that area. Greene Room or O'donelles pub about a 10 min walk north of the stadium seem like the most ideal places, if they will take us. Still following up with him to make sure were all good, either way theres plenty of restaurants and what not around that area
Trying to load the iPod up with some podcasts for the bus trip. Looking for new suggestions... Currently I've got the Short Corner, Bill Maher, and Bill Simmons. What else is good and up to date?
Yea, I would also be interested in prematch pub plans as I will be flying in for the weekend that afternoon. Maybe someone could use the CrewUnion Twitter or something to keep those traveling in for the match seperatly up to date on match day? Just a thought.
Watch Crew Unions twitter, I dont twitter and I know Clem is on the trip so he will most likely be tweeting on the floor and all over the place
Yeah, I'll be updating from the road. Will pass on any info, also figure if you're in the area it'll be heard to miss 50+ people in canary yellow. Note: if you're going on the trip (bus or your own means) and use twitter add the hashtag #NorOnTour (Nordecke on Tour) to your tweets. I'm sorry technology frightens you.
So what is everyone bringing on the trip to entertain themselves? What about supplemental food/beverage?
