Road Trip- A Few Options

Going to delay the coach update until later tonight because I need to pass along a message first.  With the Binghamton Senators set to take on the Houston Aeros in the Calder Cup Finals, planning is already underway for the next SensChirp/RSU road trip to Binghamton.

We have come up with a few different options this time around and want your feedback!

Let me know which option you prefer by posting your preference in the comment section below. You can also head over to the Red Scarf Union website and cast a vote in their poll. We hope to finalize a plan by mid-day tomorrow.

Option # 1:

Head Down to Binghamton for Saturday and head back the same day as originally planned. This will be $5 more to make up the ticket price difference, but everything else stays the same.

Option # 2:

Head Down Friday morning and spend the night Friday and head home after the Saturday night game. This would add an additional game and a hotel stay but would mean some of us would have to take time off work. It would also bring the price up to approximately $170.

Option # 3:

We head down on Saturday afternoon watch the game and stay the night. This would allow us to all enjoy the night in Binghamton and we would head home the next day.


Ultimately we will do whatever everyone wants so make sure your voice is heard in the comment section below. If you have already signed up you will have received an email that lays out all the options.

There is a forum on the RSU website which can be found here. Also please check your answer in the survey. If you do not have an RSU account it is easy and free to sign up.

I will get the ball rolling. I prefer option 1. Keeps the cost low and easier to schedule the required time off work.

Since I'm retired.. don't really care one way or the other (except the cost of course). Checking with my friend tonight and will make my pick tomorrow morning.

I'd rather stick to the original plan as well.

My preference is to go Friday AND Saturday for games 4 and 5.. then leave Saturday after the game. The only problem is, if by chance Bingo wins the cup in game 5, I'd wanna stay and celebrate the championship, rather then leaving immediately after..

So its kind of a hard decision..

I prefer both games, but if that doesnt happen, then just game 5 and come back same night...

GO SENS

Option 1. Keep costs down, worked fine the last time. You can sleep the rest of the day before going back to work.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I wouldn't mind option 2, but my wallet likes option 1 better...

I could only go if it's option one, assuming I get off work. I really, really want to go so hopefully it works out.

What is option 1? Going down just for Saturday? That's the only option I'd be able to consider.

I saw it. I just wanted to clarify on the 'original plan'. Sorry.

Chirp,

Post the Coach update. I need to write an English paper and having to check your site every 8 min. is not helping that happen.

I would suggest you get to work on that paper. It's a fairly minor update.

There was an article from the Citizen today that said Murray will be giving Kleinendorst an interview for the Ottawa job.
Other names they said may be considered, Brad McCrimmon (Detroit Red Wings); Michael Yeo Houston Aeros Coach. Randy Cunneyworth.
I'm sure there are quite a few more names.. but those ones are quite interesting.

My buddy and I can only still go if it's Saturday only, so therefore my vote is option #1 just Saturday.

I am thinking about joining the trip this time around and I would prefer either option 1 or 3. I like the idea of being able to celebrate a win on the saturday night but who knows, it could even be a sweep and that option wouldn't even happen.

I live in Syracuse so I'd like to just get a ticket w/ you all so I don't talk to someone who doesn't realise that Colin Greening is in the lineup.

I received an email from the Sens this morning saying that they've organized a trip on Friday. How come they didn't contact SC and RSU to plan one large trip?

Options 1 and 3 are easiest for us...but we'll go either way.

Selected option 2 for both... but will go with option 1 if that is the majority.

That's for season seat & suite owners.. I got one also. Cost is $45.

But I'll pay the extra to go with Senschirp & RSU.. as Steve Ryan promised a little something extra for me & Camylle... could it be PINOT?

I already voted for option #2 above (don't double count me). Mostly because it's the finals and a chance to see 2 games!!! And think how it would suck if a sweep happened and we had the chance to be there to party (or mourn) and didn't take it.

Oh yea.. gotta get back for mass on Sunday lads! :)

No matter which...GO BSENS GO!!!

I really don't think the final series will be a sweep on either side. It will go longer than 5 games.
