StevenL 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Im in Montreal at the moment, but will be back in NY starting April 28th for the whole summer. Will probably try and get to Legends to catch a game or two -- do they allow U21s in? I'm not quite legal drinking age yet Thought the plan was just to walk in and play it cool.... Nothing like a cold one at 10am. Have you ever done a Rocky up them stairs, jumping about at the top. Apart from Las Vegas it is the ONLY reason I'd ever want to visit America? My friends in Phili right now and he uploaded a picture doing that, only problem is the picture is slightly ruined because that building at the top has some stupid fashion poster in between the pillars.

ToonArmyMIA 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Nevada Smiths is a class place, that's where I go to watch. Plenty of plastics though, best to go only when games like NUFC v. Wigan and Wolves v. West Ham are on as you're more likely to encounter people (Americans or expats) whose crack is halfway decent. Stay away when Man U, Tottenham, Chelsea or Liverpool are on. you should try heading to Legends. The Toon Army NYC crowd goes there now after some nonsense with the owners in Nevadas treating their staff like shite and firing good bartenders www.toonarmynyc.com Legends less plastic fans right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmyMIA 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I saw us get demolished by Liverpool at Nevada Smiths in New York in 2007. I think the NYC Mags have moved to a different pub now though. Ps. You're a bastard for living in Miami Was probably in nevadas that day. Was the drum in action that day?

Ganna be in Atlanta for wolves, Vegas for villa, LA for the mancs and New York for Blackpool. Quite looking forward to watching the matches over there.

AmericanMag 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm posted a similar thread over at newcastle-online to connect NUFC fans in the USA for 2 reasons: 1. For NUFC fans in USA/Canada to connect and meetup for games 2. For anyone coming to visit from the UK and want to catch with NUFC fans in USA/Canada In New York we started the Toon Army NYC years ago and have a good crowd and regular visitors. Website is www.toonarmynyc.com and we watch the games in Legends bar (not Nevada Smiths anymore) In Miami (where I am now), we've started a group and meet in Fados in Brickell (downtown). On twitter I'm @toonarmymia if anyone wants to get in touch If you're in the USA post your location etc in this thread or if you're planning to visit, we can probably hook you up with a group of Mags in most cities in the USA Also, these lads are putting together full up-to-date list of places to watch in USA: http://www.newcastleunited.us/2011/02/toon...ans-gather.html I am in Boca Raton. About 45 minutes north of you on I-95. I meet up with some Geordie ex-pats and watch the matches at a local but haven't gone as far south as you. If for any reason you find your way up this way, we usually meet at The Lion and Eagle for matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love how the headlines are all about how he "Earned a reserve spot on the team" when the press release fairly clearly states "He didn't make the team, but he's an honorary member of the reserve squad." Not quite the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMag 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Right now it appears that there will be a group of four or five of us going from my area. Hoping that there will be more matches scheduled than just the one. MIA, I got your email and will respond. Sorry that it has taken so long.

Nobby 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) http://www.thecrew.com/news/2011/04/crew-f...-united-july-26 Crew to face Newcastle United on July 26Storied English club returns to Columbus for second time, Crew Communications TheCrew.com April 4, 2011 The Columbus Crew announced today that it will play host to an international exhibition against Newcastle United FC of the English Premier League on Tuesday, July 26, at Crew Stadium. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and be classified as ‘Special Game A’ for Crew Soccer Nation Gold members. Individual advance ticket prices start at $24 and will go on sale Wednesday, April 20, at 10 a.m., at the Crew Stadium Box Office, all central Ohio Ticketmaster retail locations, via Ticketmaster phone at 1-800-745-3000 and on-line at TheCrew.com, following the completion of an exclusive presale offer to Crew Soccer Nation members. Brokered by Santio Sports and Entertainment, the match will mark the second time that Newcastle has played at Crew Stadium. The teams played to a 2-2 draw on July 26, 2000, a game in which Jeff Cunningham scored the equalizer for the Crew in the 84th minute. The Crew is 9-3-2 all-time in international exhibitions, including 2-2-2 against teams from the English Premier League. The Black & Gold downed Leeds, 2-1, in 1997; defeated Fulham, 2-1, in 2005; tied Everton, 1-1, in 2006; lost to Aston Villa, 3-1, in 2007; and fell to West Ham, 3-1, in 2008. “We are pleased once again to bring top-flight international soccer right here to Columbus and to provide the best competitive challenge for our team,” said Crew President & General Manager Mark McCullers. “The English Premier League is arguably the best league in the world and Newcastle United is one of its most storied clubs.” Newcastle United, commonly referred to as The Magpies and The Toon, has a long history at the top level of professional soccer in England, dating back to their origins as a club in 1892. Newcastle’s legacy includes such iconic players as Peter Beardsley, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole in recent generations. The four-time first division champions have also won six FA Cups and the European Fairs Cup in 1969. The club is well-known in the modern era of European competition, having also advanced to the semifinals of the 2003-04 UEFA Cup and advancing out of the group stage in the 2002-03 UEFA Champions League. The club is led by manager Alan Pardew and captain Kevin Nolan, the 2010 Championship Player of the Year and the team's leading goal scorer this season. The first-team squad features several internationally-recognized stars, including midfielder Cheik Tiote, Argentine internationals Fabricio Collocini and Jonas Gutierrez, and longtime goalkeeper Steve Harper. Newcastle's 2011 campaign has seen the club compete with some of the top teams in the English Premier League, beating Liverpool 3-1 and Arsenal 1-0 at Emirates Stadium, as well as earning points in draws against Chelsea and Arsenal, the latter of which came in a historic four-goal comeback in February. Newcastle currently sits in 9th place in the EPL table with a 10-12-9 record and 39 points. Edited April 4, 2011 by Nobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid_MCDP 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's fairly serendipitous! Wonder who NUFC will play that weekend between KC and columbus?

acrossthepond 703 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Kansas City and Columbus? Ugh. At least the trend is eastward. With any luck they'll make it to New York - or at least Philly or DC, somewhere I won't have to get on a goddamn airplane to visit, by the end of the summer.
