I write this post in desperation to see an NHL game of the Philadelphia Flyers. My dilemma is.... transport from New York City to Philadelphia on Thursday 6th December 2018.
I'm bringing my wife to NYC for her 30th birthday, it's our first time in the USA and we can't wait. Now, we're big hockey fans, we are season ticket holders for our local team Sheffield Steelers in Yorkshire, GB. So of course we want to see an NHL game live while there for 4 days. We love the Flyers because they wear orange like us so naturally we support them from afar.
We arrive at Newark airport at 2pm and the game starts in Philly at 7pm on the same day! This makes it difficult to make it but we want to try. Our problem is our hotel is already booked in NYC for the duration of our stay and cannot be cancelled/changed as it's non-refundable, we also will have luggage so we're going to have to go to NYC first to drop our luggage at our hotel. We won't have access to a hire car and I've checked trains, buses and taxis but all will be too late or expensive to make the game.
I've already asked for help on a few Flyers pages on Facebook and Tweeted for help but I'm having no luck, so my last throw of the dice is on forums to see if there are any Flyers fans in NYC who regularly travel to Philly for games who we could maybe get a ride to and from the game with? I would pay for fuel and tolls charges. The game is against Columbus Blue Jackets 12/6/2018 @ 7pm. Thanks for reading. Lets go Flyers!
