Might as well start a thread since the announcement is scheduled this week. I would think ATL Utd would be a logical choice. Beyond that, I can't keep up with who's going to which preseason tournament or if CONCACAF Champions league will interfere. Would like to see DCU and Orlando, those would also bring some fans which is always fun.
and just announced Atlanta United, Seattle Sounders and Columbus Crew! DC would have been nice to have a Coffee Pot Cup match. Only problem with Columbus would be the amount of Ohioans that come and decide not to go back...(jk) http://www.charlestonbattery.com/carolina-challenge-cup
I think Atlanta fans will show up in force, anxious to see their new team, they'll probably outnumber Battery fans.
It is part of the season ticket package still. I asked directly and have seen it in emails from the club
But I think you have to purchase season tax by Nov 1 to get the CCC included., might be wrong but that's the way I interpreted it.
emailed sudz and she said it was included in all 2017 season ticket packages regardless the Nov 1 date
Well, Jim, all I can say is I'm shooting for Wednesday. My little girl (feline) just incurred a $1200 doctor's bill, AND, Sandra has something going on with her back, neck, and shoulders right now. I hope to jet in Wednesday afternoon, party with y'all, and get out Thursday. IF airfare doesn't jack up tomorrow
finally recovering from Saturday! cooking, tailgating, two matches and the pub after, whew im not as young as I used to be. Outside the first 5-10 minutes and the own goal, I thought we looked pretty good. Even the second half with the loanee and trialist looked okay. Kotaro Hagashi late goal definitely helped his case and he looked good in the trials as well. wednesday should be fun!
Although not her main focus, Mrs. BT took some snaps on Saturday of those other 2 teams playing in the CCC (for Battery game photos, see the thread specifically for Battery match photos). Atlanta United vs Columbus Crew
another good match Wednesday. Still havent been scored on by opposing teams, we just need to stop putting the ball into the our own net! quite a few trialist look pretty good. over all I like what Im seeing considering its only a week of training. need some depth in a couple positions not sure if Q will stick with Seattle or not. he didn't do himself any favors with the first ATL goal on Wed. Great seeing @Brook wednesday night! dont be a stranger and come back soon!
