Sometimes fixtures seem like deja vu. As if just a couple months ago we made journeys up and down the I5 to, first, Vancouver and then to Portland. Well, this is our year to play both clubs away twice and we have our allocation locked and loaded and ready for you to get your hands on! On September 15th we’ll be taking a couple handfuls of buses down to Portland to continue resume our domination of our little brother to the south. Two weeks later, on September 29th, we’ll be taking another handful of buses to little brother to America’s hat. Tickets are only available to ECS members but the Travel Monkeys have lifted the one ticket per membership restriction. What does this mean for you? Well, if you have any buddies you’ve been wanting to introduce to away trips then this is the time to get them in. Just remind them to drink, sing, support. They’ll love it. Trust us! GET IN!
