thinking of having a get together for Battery supporters in Jan or Feb. Mostly a chance to get together and have a couple beers, but I have a couple banners and flags I want to have before March, and could use the extra help with painting, etc, and talk over a few ideas about growing our numbers and organizing a bit more before the CCC. if your down, post here in this thread or send me a PM
im hoping i will not be too busy, i will be in charleston by the 16 of jan so i can use some of the time to hang if anybody is interested. i can try to get my brother and a few friends too. i know ill be busy that friday and saturday but saturday night may be a good day to get around charleston with the battery folks.
They wouldn't mind you taking up a section of the pub with your group. Very often, there are groups up there, when we are there.
that is actually a pretty good idea. I'm not sure they would want us painting a banner up there but we could move that outside between the pub and the Front Office (unless Tony or Andrew park their cars there!) It might limit a few people showing up being a week nite but they are open by 6 or so right? could be a dinner and a few drinks night.
Every now and then, I have good idea. I think, they open at 5, so Blackbaudians can come over for Happy Hour. Auggie usually parks in the breezeway. You could do it underneath the stands. Come scout it out tomorrow night. We were supposed to get some sort of entertainment, but Amy threatned to walk out, if there were any shenanigins.
Lemme know when you'll be up there and ill be there to help paint or anything Mikey. Also does anyone know where to find the flags that the Crew has. The checkered black and yellow ones...want to buy a couple but dont know where to find them
here is some yellow and black checkered flags http://www.flagsimporter.com/americ...bfeb2127d09878158c5aabeda4e20&keywords=yellow they carry tons of other flags including solid colors (if you want to design a mor professional looking on than my table cover and duct tape ones.) and pirate flags.

Larry bought a couple of the checkered flags last year, I thought they were very good quality for the money. That tall 11 foot thingy looks impressive, I might have to spring for that one. I liked a couple years ago when we had a national flag for all the countries represented on our roster and we'd fly all the colors every match. That was pretty cool. But I think Fetty owned most of them, so, now that he's up in the frozen tundra, we'll have to start over. There used to be a stall in the downtown market, on the East Bay end, that sold national flags for $5. Had flags for countries I never heard of. Had flags for countries that aren't even in existence anymore. Have to check and see if he's still there.
the guy is still there or was last week when I was down that way. I liked the national flag theme as well. We should be able to hook that up easily enough. Mikey
ok so lets get into business. where in columbia can i buy my battery shirt? where in the internet? any plans on having cheerleaders for next season? if i make it to a couple of games i need to be ready. cool hats, shirt and all that. whos the mascot? any cool youtube videos of the team? where can I read the history of the team. how about great stories about the club and the games and the supporters? anything funny or awesome happening in the game... alrite, let the good times role.
Probably no where in Cola town, but you should wait, until the new kits are announced and ready for sale. The club should have a press release for it.
Like Mr. O said, unless you buy online ( http://www.charlestonbattery.com/shop_cdp.asp?categoryID=3 ) I think the only place to get a Battery shirt is at the stadium. but Im interested in seeing what the new one will look like (and if Saturn is still the sponsor) I doubt the cheerleader thing too. maybe they can get the Hooter's girls out to serve soem beers again. mascot is Cannonball basically a large soccer ball that is yellow and black. Im sure there are some photos out their. here are some youtube videos http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=charleston+battery check out this sick free kick from Armstrong [YOUTUBE]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6rfPyxZIkug&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6rfPyxZIkug&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE] there are some good stories but we can share them over a couple beers!
pretty good goal. kind of cool that the video is in spanish. where is this game at? the away color is red? good stuff.
They were in Puerto Rico. I know, that our new away kits are going back to the red and black stripes and on both, the name and number areas will be blacked out, so they're easier to read.
