I think it's 7pm at the stadium.

Go to the pub I just posted and ask for about a ticket to training. Need one to get in. Not sure what the allocation is/was. You're supposed to be a Branch member.

Anyone need 1 ticket to the Charlotte game?

Anyone else really hoping to win that game and play Man U?

rickardinho1 · « **Reply #771 on:** July 31, 2014, 04:29:34 am »

If we win against Milan we'd have to play 3 games in less than 5 days, but The way Milan have played in this pre-season (as well as all of last season) I think we'd win even if we drop a few of our players. Hopefully Flanagan and Markovic are fit enough to get a half. Would also love to see a bit more of Peterson.

If we lose that's great too as its a bit of an overkill with the final anyways.

Just got back. Was in the bleachers out in 237 and had a great time. There were long gaps without much singing but it picked up in the second half, and the atmosphere was great after we scored our second into the penalties.

Guinness International Champions Cup #ICC2014 - Groups so far

We could play the Mancs in the final

Is it a little bit concerning that lovern isnt allowed to make the trip and therefor cant get much practice with sakho, assuming thats the 2 we are going to go with during the season?

Was the Roma game not part of this tournament? Well I never!

Attended the game at the Stadium last night. My favorite moment was seeing a woman wearing an ASPAS 9 shirt and audibly screaming "what the fuck!?"

Really enjoyed the experience, though. Having gone to the shit bore molten lava fest in Baltimore two years ago, this was much better.

Great time last night with the 11th Street Kop-end regulars in 237, including some folks I haven't seen in absolute dogs'! Brilliant all around.

Too many United shirts on display to be believed - saw almost just as many as I did City shirts. WTF - you've dropped $100 on a ticket to see two of your arch-rivals play each other? I can't even imagine what warped, deformed (non-?)thinking goes on to do something like that. Whatever - the New York Yankees, Manchester City and Liverpool Football Club thank for your generous support: ****s.

Have fun in Charlotte, folks!

Good to know you're still around...

If anyone is in Charlotte and going to Courtyard Hooligans where the local Branch meets, don't expect it to be a big place.

Oh and apparently the match is sold out in Charlotte. Rain predicted.

What's the capacity of that stadium ? Must be a pretty big deal if it's sold out .....

73,000 or so.

It's been raining here since last night and still raining. Hopefully it rains itself out by 6:30 tomorrow.

Yeah saw that, i'm still in denial

Then again i've seen 70% chance of rain here and it just doesn't rain. Here's hoping.

Nice touch in Yankee Stadium by the person doing the pre-match music over the PA. From the time I got there, around 5PM, until the players came out for warmups, they played nothing but artists from either Liverpool or Manchester.

I didn't see many United shirts, although there was one fellow sitting in 237 that had a blue/black version. He was getting an earful.

Was anyone else scratching their head at the little group of people in 237 wearing Villa kits........I can kinda understand United and Cheslea fans going for the banter....but Villa?

its fair enough. if you live here and Brit teams are playing down the road, its the only chance you get of watching Prem teams. I would do the same if other Prem teams were local.

Rain rain go away. Its tipping it down here.

Will be a shit wash out if it stays like this.

This is real English rain. Not lashing it down but solid and persistent. Reminds me of home.
