The second half 101 came through very nicely on the set from what my informants tell me......but this match is the big one boys, the best derby in MLS on and off the field. Three points from DC and victory in the stands, as always. 101 has to be filled up on Saturday, we need crowds like our first two matches. We played splended footie on Saturday night to a dismal ESC showing, but the second half we were all voice, up and down for the final forty minutes. Jamison is bringing the massive bombo to the match from what I hear.......and everyone else needs to be there. If we can bring half the intensity we had for the second half last weekend for the full ninety, the boys will hear it on the pitch. Everyone needs to show up and bring a friend, bring a scarf and a flag. We need the giant ESC banner and hopefully flags on a pole for this match (Mike K, can we try to bring them in with our banners and stuff???) No excuses for this match not being packed in 101. Hopefully our Irish contingent will be back and provide more frollics and foibles and chants. Metro Tico, good work on the horns this past Saturday, thanks. Good man.
I've got a nice banner that i'm bringing down. I don't come often because i'm way upstate but how can you miss this one????
Albany my friend. Right off Deleware Ave to be exact. Delmar is right down the road, literally. I don't know if i'm the only member of the ESC in the Capital District or not. Interesting to find out if I am. Can't wait for Saturday! PS...went to Shaker HS if you were curious.
ESC ALWAYS makes huge noise when there's no one in the stadium. No background noise to get lost in. It's true.
Thanks man. I know this really hasn't worked before but THIS IS THE BIG ONE!!! WE SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A MARCH IN. I know I've suggested it before but it hasnt worked. We should do it at least for DC. At around 7:10 we should gather at the gate and march in. Hopefully,we can get it together.
For the march-in, hopefully Jamison will bringing the big drum so that we can rally some support. We need to march around the stadium, starting at Gate C, around by the DC support and to 101, even if it means going the long way. This is our stadium, our grounds, we must claim it.
