The game will still occur, this we know. What uniforms with Metro/Red Bull wear on Opening Day, that seems to be another issue.

With all of the anxiety that seems to be floating around, what is the current feeling for the bus trip to DC?

Will it still occur?
Are those that were previously going now having second thoughts?
What colors should we be wearing?

So many questions... also will new chants be organized by then? Will the ESC still exist?

I'm down with going with our Metro gear and chant our Metro songs. But I won't go to any Red Bull games at Giants Stadium

Not sure, Jamison will let us know shortly, I suppose.

Sirs,

I don't want to discuss Metros history or MetroStars players.

This thread is for the Bus Trip down to DC. I am curious to hear the reactions. I want to know who is in and who is out. I want to know if Corey will still setup the trip or not.

There are plenty of threads to discuss the rest. Keep it out of this one.

Thanks,
P

The feeling I got while I was at the ESC meeting last weekend was that the trip down to DC will go on as planned if we get enough people to fill the bus.

We'll need an "all hands on deck" turn out if we want the new organization to take the ESC seriously.

Even if you plan on never going back, this is the road trip to show the new ownership what we're about. When they see a good number of us on the road, singing about the Metro and against the changing of the history, they may be more inclined to listen to what we have to offer.

Bottom line, last year, when we had an important road game during the playoff run to DC, a total of 9 people were on the ESC bus. There were 2 people in the section from Florida there for fuck's sake. For all the people that bitch and moan on here about what the Metro or the league owes them, the last few years have been dismal in terms of numbers bellying up to the bar.

Get on this road trip people.

you're gonna support 'red bull new york',

i still hate DC ;)

That's the beauty of the road trip. No money goes to Red Bull, and you get to DC hate. So please do this one, and I won't say a peep about you staying home for the rest of the year.

Please do. In my heart of hearts, I think it would be great to have the biggest ESC turnout of the year be on the road. A big "fuck you" to the deal.

As long as we get enough people to do the bus trip, we'll do it.

There has been a hold up due to DC not getting back to us on ticket location & pricing, etc, but we are planning to do it. It will be advertised at the membership drive, it will be sent out in e-mails. We just need to confirm the details.

And Joe was right: if you wanted to make one last stand, you can do so by giving your money to AEG (via DC's ticket office) one last time, and go out with a bang screaming at DC for 90 minutes. No real downside there.

But, to each his own. If people have ethical issues with following the team, so be it. No one is here to tell ya what to think, you have to show up or not on terms that make sense to you.

That said, we hope to fill the bus. All are welcome.

Wow. 9 pages of ranting buried this.

Anyway, BUMP. This is important people. You can bitch and moan here all you want, but it's trips like this where you earn your stripes.

Get on the bus. Or be like Billy Walsh.
