You should have fun - i've yet to go in it, but the standing section (supporters section sounds weird to me) always seems raucous. Just look out for smoke bombs!

Bit off topic, but how often does anyone go to games alone and sit in the supporters end? My friends aren't as passionate about the club as I am and I'm tired of begging people to go with me. Basically my question is, if I go alone will it be a bad experience to stand by myself?
From what I've read on the various social media platforms, people do this a lot and have a great time. Probably depends on how outgoing you are too

We better win. Because a tie or loss isn't going to sit well with next week being a bye week.

I do this all the time as I only got one season ticket. It's like going to a match with a thousand of my closest friends.
 
Yes, this is a must-win in all but a mathematical sense.
 
New York City FC
  • Mehdi Ballouchy (left adductor strain) -- PROBABLE
  • Connor Brandt (hernia surgery) -- OUT
  • Javier Calle (left hamstring strain) -- OUT
  • George John (knee surgery) -- OUT
  • Frank Lampard (left quad strain) -- PROBABLE
  • Khiry Shelton (left quad strain) -- OUT
  • Tony Taylor (knee surgery) -- OUT
Columbus Crew SC
  • Sergio Campbell (right calf strain) -- QUESTIONABLE
  • Federico Higuain (left hamstring soreness) -- QUESTIONABLE
  • Emanuel Pogatetz (right knee sprain) -- QUESTIONABLE

Higuain questionable - I'll take it

I am in a similar situation as you. I go alone and (at $90.00 a ticket no one who is not passionate about the game/ team is not willing to pay that. ) In the first few games it was kind of solo. Since I am a season ticket holder I get to see the same faces and other STH and have made some new friends, Its great and fun, since we share the same love for the team. After the game, we stay around the area and go to eat, drink , celebrate, cry , get mad or hyperventilate about the referee, about the game results or whatever you feel.
Around Yankees Stadium area, are several bars, restaurants too choose from. A popular hangout before and after, is a place called "The Dugout " Let m warn you that is a LOUD place,conversing is not possible. unless you shout too. . I wonder how other patrons deal with It? Another place is Hard Rock Cafe. (I think is popular because it has an entrance connected directly to the stadium.)

I have not been in supporters area but remember we ALL are there because we love the game. Do not worry you will not stand alone.:)


PS join a Support Group,There are a few around. I joined The Third Rail.

Sooooo....is your case that Saunders sucks????




No. he does not sucks, just that for this season its what we have. , He certainly is not a brick wall:cool:. (no human is a brick wall) and he has shown competence and ability to not to crumble and melt under the pressure. ( LA results could had easily been 7-1 ) to some people it may be tame or timid to have him guarding the net for this game, but is riskier to put a keeper that has not played with the team in regulation time. (I have not seen the back-up keeper play) Make other changes in the back-line and the midfield. My vote is to keep Saunders for this game. The MLS statistic for Saunders is that he has made 88 saves (highest in the league for 2015). There is another way to see this is, that 88 goals did perforated of our net because Saunders is a wood wall. If we have horrendous perforations on this game then its time for the Back -up keeper to play
 
I don't know what you are saying. They all have better stats


Hi T Tom in Fairfield CT , I got the stats from MLS website and tried to post them on the forum but the results were not clear. it was all jumbled. According to the Stats Saunders has the highest number (88) of saves in 25 games in 2250 minutes played.
I am technologically challenged ;)

As of now, about half the usual number of posts on a pregame thread. Why? Because we got ripped a new one by MLS' super team? Come on boys, shake it off.

We've been playoff underdogs since may when we sat poku during the easy part of our schedule. We've been hot and cold all year.

Starting this game we get playoff soccer. Six games of must win action. You want to prove we can win? You better work bitch.

Time to stop being sad about losing a game we were always going to lose, and get back on your keyboards, and start supporting this team again with a high post count.

I have it on authority that the team pays attention to the number of posts each pregame thread gets. They know when we are up for the game, or just discussing another ridiculous stadium site.

I haven't wasted the past year and a half of my life to give up when the games start to count! Let's smash Columbus like the fourth rate town it is!

Use this pic to stop looking at porn on the interwebs and get up for this game!

Not that anyone needs help getting fired up for soccer on game day, but just in case:

Tom,
If I want a hardon when I come here I'll get it the usual way.


Otherwise, well said.
