I thought I would start a thread the Blues. Here's a link to their roster. They seem to have a good mix of experienced players and younger players. http://www.labluesprosoccer.com/Roster/index_E.html
Most of their games are going to be at Cal State Fullerton, and a few games at high school stadium/ HUSKY STADIUM - Centennial High School which is in Corona CA. http://www.labluesprosoccer.com/schedule/venues/index_E.html
They scrimaged Chivas this past sunday and lost 2 - 0. http://www.labluesprosoccer.com/home/517431.html
would love to know what happened between LA and Gareth Evans. he was signed and trained with them for a few weeks, then he magically appears in Wilmington. If LA just let him go they're idiots. He's a top class USL defender
I found the article where it's mentioned. It sounds like it wasn't a good fit wiht their system. http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/soccer/post/_/id/7287/l-a-blues-add-mls-vets-impress-for-charity
Here is more about the PDL team that the Blues have added. It's going to be a pro team and be used as their reserve team. That seems like a good idea, because you hane players going up and down between the two teams. They take over the schedule for the departing HollyWood United Hitmen team. http://www.labluesprosoccer.com/home/515690.html
I saw LA Blues tickets on sale for $7 at Goldstar. Is anyone else going to this match on May 1? I like the fact that matches are being played in Fullerton, 'cause that's a whole lot closer to me than the Galaxy and HDC in Carson. Edit: I just saw that Goldstar is charging a $3 fee. It might be better just to buy from the club directly for $10 so that they can keep more of the revenue
From posting on the LA Blues facebook page they won their first game tonight against Sevilla 3 - 0. Goal scorers were Rivera the 1st, Bravo 2nd and Gaitan the 3rd.
Here's another good article on the Blues. It provides some really good background on the club and most of the players. http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles...lues-more-than-just-an-affordable-alternative

Ralph try this link for $7 tix as well. Doesn't look like there is a service charge. http://www.tryitlocal.com/fullerton/entertainment/los-angeles-blue-soccer-club
Its nice to see that an expansion team in the Los Angeles Blues is 3 & 0 in this new league. I thought at first that being the only team on the west coast coupled with the travel, it would be tough on them financially to play out. They seem to be dominating though and hopefully, more fans will notice and come out to support the franchise and other teams out west will also come forth and make the jump. Good luck Blues!
They may not have one if they have results like this... Hammerheads Defeat Blues Again Budnyy keys 2-1 victory http://www.wilmingtonhammerheads.com/home/549796.html MOD NOTE: Do not post whole articles, please post appropriate summary and provide link.
Considering their high for attendance has been 500 something and the cost of travel, I would be amazed if there is a 2012 USLP LA Blues. Having 1 or 2 teams west of the Mississippi wouldn't hurt either.
plus a pretty stupid calender 3 home games in 5 days vs the Barracudas who wants to see these guys from Antigua 3 times in a row ?
