We are top of the east, say we are toppa the east!
And hopefully the Crew stay there the rest of the season. With it's first win at Rio Tinto last week the Crew now have the fourth best record in MLS and it seems that the offseason overhaul is starting to pay dividends. Come join us tonight to watch the massive take on Colorado.
Some other big things go on are the celebrity bartending and US-Mexico watch party next Wednesday at Fourth Street. We've also confirmed that Fourth Street will be opening early for English Premier League game this season.
On a less happy note, the Hudson Street Hooligan's have run into some issues with the operating permit for thier club. We want to reiterate as we have that they have our full support as we would hate to see the city lose another soccer bar, which is bad for all Crew and soccer fans. We've also extended an invite for them to join us before home games either tailgating with or next to us till Hooligan's is back up and running. We're all one family.
Crew at Colorado Tonight at 9:30pm
The travel west again to take on Colorado tonight at 9:30pm and you can join us at Fourth Street to take in all the action. The Crew look to get three wins in a row for the first time all season after an impressive win last week at Rio Tinto. The Crew will stay top of the eastern conference regardless of the result, but some extra space between Philly would be great.
Crew Celebrity Bartending and US-Mexico Watch Party
The Columbus Crew along with sponsors Budweiser and 97.1 The Fan have organized a celebrity bartending event for Wednesday the 10th. Three Crew players will each be running a beer tub with a supporter from each group (Crew Union, Hooligans and La Turbina Amarilla).
All of the tips given will be donated to the Crew Soccer Foundation, and a party will be sponsored for the group that sells the most beer! We'd appreciate you're help in getting Crew Union a victory here so we can have the sponsored party for everyone!
The celebrity bartending will take place 7-9pm, following that the US under new coach Jurgen Klinsmann take on rival Mexico in a friendly. Stick around to check out the manager's debut and cheer on the yanks at 9pm!
If you're feeling like really making a night of it karaoke will be going on the rest of the evening!
EPL Kicks Off Next Saturday at Fourth Street
The Barclay's Premier League kicks off next Saturday and we're happy to announce that our home bar Fourth Street Bar & Grill will be open for all Premier League games this season. On Saturdays and Sundays they will be opening early, so whenever there is a 7 or 7:45am game you can count on Fourth Street being open. They will also have the kitchen open with breakfast food available.
Part of our long term plan with Fourth Street was to grow it as a soccer bar so we're really excited about this and the bar is too. For the kickoff of the season on Saturday, August 13th Fourth Street will be offering half off all drinks!

Philly Bus Trip
On Saturday September 17th the Crew travel to Philly to take on the Union in what will likely be an important match in the eastern conference standings. We'll be taking bus over for an overnight trip. We think this trip will sell out quick so reserve your spot quickly!
The cost of the bus trip is only $110 and includes: match ticket,bus trip, food on the way up, beer on bus and hotel (based on quadruple occupancy).
More info can be found on the website including if you just want a ticket and plan to meet us in Philly.
Crew Union Pick Up
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the pick up games we've been holding there has been demand for holding weekend and weekday games. We started by holding a successful session on Wednesday on fairly short notice. So starting this week we'll be having two sessions each week, Sunday evenings at 7pm and Wednesday evenings at 7:30. Don't forget to join the Crew Union Pickup group to stay in the loop on weekly pickup games.
Go Crew! See everyone tomorrow!
