Crew Union

Hope everyone who went to Philly this past weekend had a great time, didn't come back with three points but still a lot of fun.

Big match Saturday as the Crew look to rebound with another game at KC on Saturday and the home finale next Sunday. Crew need to step it up down the stretch and so do we. We're also starting to gather whose interested in NorOnTour to Chicago.

Crew Host LA Saturday

As many of you know Saturday's match with LA is sold out, including the Nordecke. The good news is that we've secured discounted standing room only tickets for the normal rate we have Nordecke tickets, please email Kev if you're interested. Please also be aware that with the high demand for tickets please let us know if you have reserved tickets you don't intend to use.

Please be aware that traffic around Crew stadium will be worse than usual as Ohio State hosts Colorado at 3:30 with the game wrapping up around 6:30pm. We suggest coming to the tailgate early to avoid traffic and hope to have a tv (or at least a laptop) with the game on. Come over early and drink some beers while laughing at all the people caught in traffic.

To add extra motivation to come tailgate early we'll be having FREE BEER! We'll have a keg of local brewery Elevator's Dark Horse along with a few cases of beer left over from the Philly Bus Trip. We'll be taking donations which we'll then spend on beer for the DC tailgate.

Crew vs Kansas City Wednesday

Join us at Fourth Street next Wednesday as the Crew travel to the Spork, er, Sporting Livestrong Park to take on the Wiz. Kickoff at 8:30 with karaoke afterwards if that's your thing.

NorOnTour Chicago

We're expecting big things for the NorOnTour trip to the windy city on Saturday October 22nd. We're getting dirt cheap tickets at only $12 and hope to take over 200 to Toyota Park. If you have any interest in going, please shoot an email to Kev with whether you'd be interested in an over-night bus, an up and back bus or just a ticket for the game.

Hope to get prices sorted out soon.

English Premier League at Fourth Street

The Barclay's Premier League has kicked off it's season and we're happy to announce that our home bar Fourth Street Bar & Grill will be open for all available 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.

Philly Bus Trip

The bus is full, but there are still individual tickets available for those interested in meeting the bus out there.

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'll be having two sessions each week, Sunday & Wednesday evenings at 7pm. Don't forget to join the Crew Union Pickup group to stay in the loop on weekly pickup games.

Go Crew! See everyone Saturday!
