[Albion] Premier League Summer Series - Philladelphia, Atlanta and New Jersey 22-28/7/23

I may fly into Philly for the weekend if flights aren't too bad

Okay. True. I’ll play.

You could argue that by flying out there, they are raising the profile of the PL, which brings more money in, which pays more taxes and levies towards climate change initiatives. In a way, they’re saving the planet.

You sound like a politician .... bs

Is it true the Champions of Europe have been dropped due to their current league position and replaced with Fulham?’

Looks like they only want PL teams. No disrespect to Fulham, but whichever division they are in, Dirty Leeds would be a bigger pull.

Think I give it a miss and save the money for our 2012/4 European tour.

I'm thinking of doing the same - having never been to the states however, what would you consider 'not too bad' in terms of flight prices?

Well, it is the "Premier League Summer Series".

Not the "Premier League Summer Series (plus Championship Leeds)".

It's the 'Premier League Summer Series' so, yeah, only PL clubs

Looking forward to this. Just need to decide if I want to do a weekend in Philly or NJ.

NJ due to its proximity to Manhattan. Philly is not great !

 

[albionalex]

What would you do - fly into Atlantia, internal flight up to NYC and home from NYC?

I would skip Atlanta. It's not the nicest city and you'd be better off spending more time in Philly/NYC for touristy things.

Fly into NYC and then fly/drive/train down to Philly for a few days, then back up to NYC for a few days.

I can't be the only one that thinks they may struggle to shift 71,000 tickets for Brentford v Brighton, am I?

Absolutely love the ridiculousness of this all.

Are you flying from the UK? I wouldn't really know tbh.

From Vancouver anything from $500-600

The problem is this is the first week of the school summer holidays so there'll not be too many bargains about.

You're probably looking in the £600-700 range with the major UK/US carriers for an economy seat, plus a bit more if you want to take a checked case.

Red Bull Stadium Harrison is about 25 minutes from downtown NYC on the PATH train, then a short walk from Harrison station. Some decent bars and Portuguese restaurants in Harrison / Newark and quite a bit cheaper than Manhattan

I think the Championship starts earlier than the PL so Leeds may be in league action!

 

[Lethargic]

Oh for god sake they could have asked me, I arrive in New York on the 28th landing 6pm JFK, no way I'll make kick off.

It’s “The Leeds United and selected Premier League club Summer Series”

Forgot to add, assuming Sheffield Wednesday are headlining the West Coast Tour?

No, that's Wrexham.

United to play Wrexham AFC in San Diego

We can now confirm one of the teams Erik ten Hag's men will face on Tour 2023 this summer.

I disagree about Philly. I spent a weekend there with a group of friends in 2019 and had a great time.
