Pre-match: BACK FROM SUMMER BREAK! MLS MATCHDAY 14 CREW VS NASCAR FC SATURDAY JUNE 18 730PM (CHARLOTTE FC)

Wonder how healthy we will be. A win here and we can still be a avg team who makes the playoffs . All depends how much can we salvage until we get a striker and just how good and how quickly can he help us considering the tester of the roster is also a disaster

 

The good news is that the DORA opens at 2pm, which is a full 5 1/2 hours before kickoff(*), so we'll all be properly inebriated before kickoff.

(*)Providing, of course, there won't be another three-hr rain delay. Right now, the forecast looks to be sunny and hot.

 

The break was not long enough.

 

Certainly not long enough to get Kevin Molino on the pitch.

No break is THAT long.

 

Who do we expect to miss the game? Is Lucas expected to play this week?

 

When was the last time any Columbus-based soccer media person spoke with Kevin Molino?

 

Are we sure Mensah's head injury won't keep him out?

 

We have Columbus-based soccer media?

 

Charlotte has 0 wins and 1 tie away from home.

Crew win 1-0 thanks to a newly healthy Owen Goal.

 

Back from international duty.

 

Whistle and Keg is doing a beer festival on Saturday afternoon. Nordecke members get discounts.

Featuring Saucy Brew Works, Wolf's Ridge, Outerbelt, Rhinegeist, Bell's, Hi-Wire, New Belgium, DuClaw, Blake's, Austin East, Flying Dog, Land Grant, and Columbus Brewing!!

1 ticket is good for 5oz.
3 tickets gets you 16 oz.

I'd imagine tickets are also able to be purchased on-site because fees suck.

I got tickets for the River Club, anyone been in there?

 

It's definitely swank. I'm not sure if allows access into the field-level club where you can high-five the players when they walk by.

 

And peach milkshakes are back at Chik-Fil-A... (Mrs KG loves them)

 

Post from the future:

"The international break was so long...."
<how long was it>
"The international break was so long, I completely forgot how inept we are on offense"

 

Jeni’s has a sweet cream biscuit and peach jam ice cream right now that is DELICIOUS

 

Ya, I think I need to be another section over to get to the field level club. With that said, I have 3 of my regular seats in 243 available for purchase if anyone is looking.

 

Yes, it's very nice. This is the club that is located above the seating section on the west side. It has a comfortable indoor club space with a bar, pizza and Condado tacos, and plenty of tvs. Good hangout space for pre-match, and during rain delays! Plus, you can go into the club anytime during the match and quickly use the bathroom or grab another beer, with basically no lines to wait in.

 

Heads up:
Pride Fest is in Goodale Park and the parade is on High St.

If you normally park north of 670 and/or use High Street... it'll be a mess.

Allow plenty of extra time for pregame travel.

 

Heck, I almost forgot we had a team.... One (abbreviated) home game in May and one in June. Ugh.
