This is how I’ve bought my tickets. I got an email confirmation and then another email asking for the names of the people in my party, which is SOP for away tickets. That second email said the tickets would come the day before.
USOC - April 14 - Westchester (Away)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Actually got my ticket today, but I’m just getting one ticket for myself.
I received mine today too. Will be interesting to see how full it gets. Stadium seats 4,000.
I’ve been meaning to go to a game there for a while. It’s only 15 mins from my house.

Bronx River Derby Day! Let’s Go!
Only 3 days rest. Are we getting the full B squad? Who plays RB? Maybe something like:
-----------------Reid-----------------
Magno-------Carrizo--------Jones
---Shore-------------Pierre---------
Cavallo----Murray---Tana----????
--------------Ranjitsingh-----------
If Gray starts this many games he's going to have his annual leg injury far earlier than normal. Can Pascal send a lineup out without Maxi or are the mins just going to keep being piled on the 39 year old? We don't have the depth to make a meaningful run in this tournament, hopefully he doesn't send out the A team and pile more min on the starters.

Is Carrizo healthy?
I hadn't really processed the impact of the Baiera injury. We need to have someone who can fill that role. Maybe Tanasijevic plays there and Gustavo is in the middle?

I'm sorry. I've been resisting the urge to Ackshually this, but I can no longer hold out. I grew up less than a half mile from the Bronx-Westchester border, and nobody thinks of the Bronx River or the Parkway as the border between the City and Westchester. The parkway runs north south and for slightly more than a half mile does effectively separate the Bronx and Westchester with Westchester to the West and the Bronx to the East.
But overall, the border between the Bronx and Westchester is nearly 8 miles long, and almost entirely on an East West axis such that Westchester is non-controversially north of the city. Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Pelham and all other further cities, towns and villages in Westchester are all north of the city. The stadium in Mount Vernon is due north of the closest point to the Bronx. If you traveled due west from the stadium you would briefly cross into the Bronx but without crossing the river or parkway, and then if you did cross the Bronx River Parkway you would ironically end up back in Westchester. because the primary axis of the Bronx-Westchester border runs east to west and splits north from south.
Naming the game after a barely half-mile east-west division of a north-south border is not something that anyone who lives near that border in Yonkers, Riverdale, Edenwald, Pehham Park, Pelham, Mount Vernon, or Wakefield would ever do. Because Westchester is north of the Bronx, and the small bulge of the Wakefield section of the Bronx that pushes into Mount Vernon is an anomaly, where taxes, street names, governance, and even traffic rules such as right-on-red often change mid-block. It's the weird exception, not the norm.
With that out of my system: call it whatever you want and enjoy. I don't really care, but I feel better now having gotten that out. Names don't have to make sense.

I don't think Jones is likely to go 90. Especially on short rest, I don't think he starts. He came in in the 77th on Saturday. I think he comes in in the 60th tonight.
Who else can pick up minutes? Arroyave? Yañez?
I'll admit that with our new home as close as it is, in my head I've been thinking of this as the East River Derby. Also imperfect as it lumps one of NYC's 4 boroughs in with Westchester.
yanez is still injured i think?
I honestly think there will be about half the starters out there. Martins will play if he's healthy. We'll make more "B team" type changes once we're up a few goals. Jansen wants to win and get it done early.
We shall see.
Who was the kid who came in at the end of the Vancouver match?
"Forward" is most of what I was asking, thanks. Wasn't sure if he was a mid or what.

I think past experience tells us this is going to be the B team. It’s a USL League 1 team and not a particularly good one. Westchester has leaked goals its entire existence, the B team should have no trouble dispatching them and after all the travel we shouldn’t expect many first team guys to be playing tonight. Mango might be the only one.
It’s also a turf field, so Pascal is going to protect his guys from that as well.
thing is, we don't really have a full B team to put on the field and maintain a balanced formation. there will be some starters.. at least 4 or 5.
There's no natural or even man-made natural boundary between the City and Westchester. For a good section Van Cortland Park does act as a buffer, but there are just as large sections where you simply walk down the street. Which is why I routinely walked from home in Yonkers into the Bronx for such mundane things as McDonalds, Carvel ice cream, or a park.
