Which section are you in at the game?

Check out the flights to Houston - they're probably free to get here (but an arm and a leg to leave ....boom boom :D)

Aww what a sweet husband you have!
I think we're all tailgating before and then onto that pub that anotherlimey mentioned. Read Manc's post at the top of the USA forum for more details. Manc bought my tickets and we're all sat behind one of the goals. Would be nice to meet up :)

I'll be in the local English bar on Saturday watching the match and am taking part in a memorial day parade on Sunday. Hope it doesn't rain too much. :D

Were in section 304. I saw the Alcocks pub mentioned in Mancs posting but then I thought everyone was talking about going to a different pub which the other expat forum are going to. So Alcocks it is, we will go there after the match.

We're in 126 I think, the other side of the ground, but you'll be behind the 250 from BritsInAmerica.com.

I just had a look at their site, I've never really ventured in their before. How did you find out about them going as a group?

Someone here mentioned it in the sticky thread at the top. I also conversed via email with the owner regarding the pre-match party.

Sorry about that but it really does suck the big one here. We're in the middle of a Nor'easter that's coming straight back in as soon as it's gone out. I'm still wearing my winter clothes and the forecast is dire through to Mem Day. Mr Sibsie thinks I have an unhealthy obession with the weather, but it was such a shitty winter, that I was really looking forward to some warmer stuff.

Gordon Bennett! The sun is shining at long last.

We've decided that we're just going to go on a 'mystery tour' and just see where we'll end up. We've just thrown some clothes into small cases and we're ready to go. We will head west on I-80 so will drive to PA and possibly end up in Ohio or something LOL!

Toodle-oo.... :D
