- A massive roster of defenders, yet still a ticking timebomb nobody feels particularly safe with
- Our star defender (who hasn't seen much of the field) arrested for assaulting a police officer

I was beginning to think things were looking too positive for us. This all makes me feel cozy like I'm curled up next to the fireplace.

Marquez's old club, Atlas is to transfer two players fo free up cash for summer signings. Declined to say whether Rafa would be one of them.

New York Red Bulls (MLS) at Charleston Battery (USL PRO): Blackbaud Stadium; Charleston, S.C.; 7:30 p.m. ET

Charleston is at home in the next round. They beat us in the Open Cup twice before.

On the bright side, Lindpere might get to visit South Carolina.

QUOTE
The pair of Red Bulls fans both agree though that perhaps the most special
moment they have experienced on the road came in 2008, when New York made an
improbable run to MLS Cup keyed by a 3-0 away win at two-time defending champion
Houston Dynamo.




“We tied the home leg [vs. Houston] 1-1 and went out there, knowing that the
odds were stacked heavily against us,” Vezina recalls. “But, Dane Richards went
nuts, New York won 3-0 and it was one of the best wins in franchise history.




“That’s why you travel, every once in a while, your team might just make
history. Wouldn’t want to miss out on that.”


Great day that was...

It’s Tifo Time once again and we need YOUR help. Come out, meet people, and most importantly lend a hand in making our section look great.

We will be working on a banner to honor Juan Pablo Angel for next week’s game against Chivas. (If the trade rumors are true we’ll just start working on tifo for our game against the Scum in June.)

Stop by for an hour, 2 hours, or all day. Every little bit helps. No artistic skills required, we just need you to paint inside the lines.

When: Friday May 18 starting at 7pm and Saturday May 19 starting at 9am
Where: Red Bull Arena

I was peaking ahead at the schedule. All the games except for the final are scheduled for Tuesday. The first two rounds we could play in fall during the FIFA date two week break, so thats not really an issue. However. the quarter finals are scheduled for tues 6/26 and tues 7/10. We are scheduled to play sunday before BOTH of those dates (6/24, 7/8). Meaning that should NY advance to the quarters and possibly semis they would be playing on one days rest. Ridiculous. Hope Borrajo and Maduro are up for it.

Ridiculous.]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 02:42:59 -0700 http://www.soccerpubs.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=43972 This team has balls... http://www.soccerpubs.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=43969

Bus Schedule

8:15am Buses leave NYC (corner of 31st & 8th)
8:50am Buses leaves Red Bull Arena
11:00am Buses arrive at Philly
11:30am March-in
12:30pm Game
2:30pm Game ends
3:00pm Buses depart
5:00pm Buses arrive at Red Bull Arena
5:30pm Buses arrive in NYC 31st & 8th

Note: If you are late, the BUSES WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU. Since people no-show without telling us, we cannot hold the buses and make everyone else late because you are not there on time. So, know that you need to be there early. You should be on the bus ready to LEAVE ON THE BUS by the times listed above. Be respectful of everyone else, leave a bit early to give yourself extra time if there’s a traffic jam or whatever.

Pickup in NYC is on the north east corner of 31st & 8th avenue, right next to Penn Station/Madison Sq. Garden, just look for the Red Bull fans. Sometimes the bus pulls up on 8th ave, sometimes on 31st st. so just hang tight and we’ll figure it out when the buses get there.

Pickup at Red Bull Arena is on the EAST side of the stadium. You can park in the lot behind the stadium (for free). It’s the orange rectangular lot at the end of Cape May St. on the east side of the stadium in the diagram linked here, closest to gate D. http://www.redbullarena.us/assets/1/workfl...ng/Page/984.JPG

For those picking up tickets in Philly

The buses will be parked in the Boat Ramp area (see below for parking information). We will be distributing tickets right next to the buses. If you purchased a ticket from ESC, Amanda will be distributing them. You must be there by 11:00am to pick up your ticket. We do not have much time once the buses arrive and march-in, so please plan to be there on time. If you purchased a ticket through Philly, you should also plan on meeting the buses at 11:00am so you can join us for the march-in.

For those who are DRIVING DOWN

Please note the following:

Visiting supporters will park their vehicles in the Boat Slip Parking Lot, located off of Flower St. People driving down are encouraged to car pool:

Remember that you are an away fan in their lots, so keep your head about you at all times. Safety in numbers. Also, it’s the Commodore Perry Bridge off of Route 322, not the Ben Franklin, just an FYI.]]> Thu, 10 May 2012 21:34:08 -0700 http://www.soccerpubs.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=43952 Rivalry Night Special Offer! http://www.soccerpubs.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=43951
