Free bus to Philly, courtesy of RBNY & MLS.  Thank You!

(This isn’t the real bus, yo, chillax.)

New York Red Bulls fans will head south on the turnpike next Thursday, January 14th for the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, to sing and cheer for our next 4 players. Thanks to our “whoops” of a 2009 season, we’re sitting pretty on draft day with 4 picks in the first two rounds, at number 2, 14, 18 and 31. Will it be Duka? Opara? A trade and a pile of allocation cash? Who knows, but be there live to find out. Not to mention, you get to rag on the Philly Union supporters for taking whatever Chris Carrieri they end up taking with the first overall pick.

Bus leaves from the Ironbound, right across the street from Newark Penn Station. Meet in front of # 2 Ferry Street, at the corner of Market St.

Be at the bus stop ready to go at 10:45 AM. Bus leaves U2 Style (with or without you) at 11am. Don’t be late, because we can’t wait.

We should get to Philly at 1pm, draft starts at 2pm and we’ll stay until the second round ends, around 5/6pm. We’ll be home 2 hours later, call it 7pm-8pm.

No smoking on the bus, beverages are allowed (cans only) and bring a bag for your trash with you, cause you’ll be taking it off the bus.

Also, you need to bring a $ 5 tip for the driver. No tip, you ride in the pooper.

So, hurry up and reserve your spot by sending an e-mail to empiresc@verizon.net. Everyone who is officially on the bus will get/has gotten an e-mail confirmation. As of now there are only a few spots left, so wait for your confirmation before you show up.

You can only reserve a spot by sending an e-mail, so don’t get left behind!
