3/15/2010: First Supporters Meeting

Upcoming either between the 25th and 28th or 2nd through the 4th. To discuss where to make banners and how to (like above), chants, a supporters bar, possibly scarves, and other ideas and concerns.

I'm thinking that the best time for a supporters meeting will be the weekend of the 25th to the 28th or the weekend of the 2nd to 4th of April. I'm leaning more towards the 2nd to the 4th since Crew vs. Toronto FC is the 27th and I know a lot of our fans are Crew fans as well and that is a pretty intense rivalry game. Either way, either weekend gives us all about a month to prepare for the first game with banners and chants and etc. At this meeting we will discuss some ideas for chants, where we can meet up to make banners, different bars for the supporters to congregate, and other logistics and possible ticket and other deals with the supporters.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there will be a Supporters Meeting upcoming, so keep checking this website through the end of the week to get an exact date.

As well as being a supporter, I'm working with the team as an intern for my Sport Management grad degree, and I know the team is working out a deal to have the players come to The Pub after games. I'm going to contact The Pub about having some deals or possibly a free beer or something for the supporters meeting. We'll likely do that meeting there in the afternoon or early evening when the location is not that crowded. This does not mean The Pub will be the supporter group location before every game, instead we can discuss where we all want to hangout before games at this meeting and vote on it, be it The Pub or somewhere else.

Also, I know that a couple of Dutch players such as Bas Ent and Johan Wigger will be in town by next Monday, maybe I can get a few of the players out for a beer on the weekend as well for the supporters group meeting.

So, take your banner, chant, and other ideas, as well as other issues you want discussed at this meeting to The Orange Legionnaire Forum.
