As announced by the Rapids:
Fans of all ages are invited to join other soccer fans at the British Bulldog this Saturday for the Rapids at DC United Official Away-Game Viewing Party at 2:00pm!
Fans can partake in a full day of of soccer action as well, as the all-day festvities will begin at 7:00am as the British Bulldog will be showing live English Premiership Matchday 1 action.
At 2:00pm the Rapids take on DC United live on ESPN-2 in ESPN'S MLS Game of the Week! Food and drink specials are available for all fans who attend, and there is no admission charge.
I would like to add a couple more things: The Bulldog is no longer smokey - since the Denver smoking law went into affect. Also supporting soccer establishments like the Bulldog is important to the soccer loving community. Each gathering has been great fun this year - so please consider making it down there.
I just spoke with Issac the owner of the Bulldog - and he wanted me to spread the word on a special to kick of the EPL at 7AM - this is no joke - FREE BEER (while the kegs last). They do have a good breakfast there including a traditional English Breakfast - Bangers and all!
Finally, please consider making the Labor Day weekend trip up to Salt Lake City - it really is a fun time - and right now there are 5 people - possibly 7 going. This is going to be the basis for bigger and better trips next season hopefully - like MLS Cup and maybe the All Star game - assuming neither is in Commerce City!!! I want to get a full dozen together to fill a van - I see the travel costs at $50 for travel - plus food/drink - $16 ish game ticket - Hotel costs.
Good way to get to know your fellow VIers - plus a contingent of C-Firmers will be going as well.
If you're even considering let me know!
Few other things:
If you have an international flag - please bring them to the game. It'd be cool if someone were to volunteer to collect/bring them at every game.
Also remember - pins are available at $4 each - good way to introduce yourself to other VIers.
And finally, I want to welcome Lee and his Rapid Die Hards to Class VI - they sit at the top of the section in the Handicap seats - give the guys a howdy next home game.
Oh yeah - and the CVI indoor team has a winning record - 3 wins and 2 loses - way to turn it around!!!
