Montreal Time!

Much like last year it seems Impact Front Office do not have it together until the last minute. Without further ado the itinerary for the game and our pre and post plans follow:

Friday

There are quite a few people going any pub or wandering adventure will be posted to Twitter (@redpatchboys) and Facebook and on the boards. Looking like a few will start their evening Mcleans and then move on.

 Saturday

We’ve got quite a bit of room set aside for us at Macleans pub located here. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to get there starting around 11:30 but feel free to arrive sooner! It’s HIGHLY encouraged you pay cash as you go to prevent a a delay when we begin to leave. We have to leave McLeans before 2:00PM to arrive at the stadium at the right time. (that means start settling bills at 1:30PM)

Last year we ran into a major issue that caused delays in getting to the subway and that was the ticket machines in the Metro all broke except one. This caused a major backup and so to prevent this BUY YOUR METRO PASS BEFOREHAND OR PURCHASE A THREE DAY PASS. You will thank us for this great idea later.

 If McLeans is full there maybe room next door at Peel pub alongside Usector. In addition tweet other bars to the RPB account and we will share
