    The Chicago FO are having some problems with the link they supplied not accepting some transactions, so Drew has asked me to put the number on here for you to call him directly and he'll sort the seats out in the away section. his number is 708-496-6785.

    If you cannot call him, email him at aeiden@chicago-fire.com and get him to call you back.

    Ideally, all SS catching the beer bus would all hop on at the same stop, which is related to, where would we all meet ? In a bar somewhere? Or is it still to early to be asking these questions?
    Also, did anyone check if away supporters are allowed on the beer bus? { Count me in }

    The beer bus is ON!

    This is the link. You need to sign up here. http://section8.ticketleap.com/beerbusvancouverjuly14/dates/Jul-14-2012_at_0430PM

    There are two routes, Paddy Longs & Small Bar are on the north side & two from downtown.

    I'd suggest we all pick the downtown route and I will personally book the Elephant & Castle

    Really envious of your guys trip! Great there's so many of you on it. Wish I could be there.

    I'm wanting to go to every Caps playoff game though, so working hard over the summer months to build up some cash for those after Florida cleared me out earlier in the year.

    I'm going to do the RSL match at the end of October, and fingers crossed for those play off games

    I just booked from the elephant and castle. Had to laugh at the website, saying "learn the songs". Well, we'll sure as hell teach them a few songs hey dudes?? "You can shove your Sears tower up yer arse"

    Well, glad you guys could make it and the bus went well. Some were a bit worried as it's normally for home support only- but since you're not from Toronto you were actually quite enjoyable/respectful. Cheers!
