I know a lot of people have this problem, but maybe we could pick a day a month in advance and run a bus out to TP, have everyone take the morning off work and watch practice. Anyone interested?

Athletic Bilbao had 25,000 people show up at their training session this week!


This could actually be a good idea- especially for those who don't drive. Any ideas on where to run it from?

We could do it centrally downtown...Maybe Fado? Want to help me organise it?

They used to list the schedule on their 'weekly notes' articles but I'm not sure they do that anymore.

At least I got to see the stadium with my own eyes again. Ben, by "inside," you mean on the pitch, right? Were there any fans inside? I went to help spread the word about schedules, tickets, and S8C, and other than 1 SUV which made the turn from the East to the North Lot, I didn't see anyone else, although I did show up around 10:45am. Likely that others showed up and went home. I think when the schools let out there may be more kids coming with the 'rents.

ps: Oh, and have a quick bite/chat with you. Thanks for coming out, Ben.

My pleasure. I wish the team wouldn't make such quick changes. They don't always understand the importance of a change.

A little ways down on the left side of the screen, they list the practice schedule.

No problem, my pleasure. Please chat up any other fans in attendance about the upcoming matches and S8C and what we do.

Thank you Front Office for coming over to the ESPN Zone during the Champions League Final match. You had two wonderful ladies maning the table all covered with pocket schedules, posters, ticket information. You even had a raffle in which during halftime you gave away Fire merch to the winners.

May I make a suggestion...

Next time you have a raffle in which the whole place has your attention you might want to mention that Blanco and McBride play for the team or how the team is undefeated and how there are international players on the team...Segares, Baky,..etc..etc...etc...etc. or how tickets are only 9 dollars for Sunday's game.


Great job though. :cheers:

Over the past 10 days or so I have noticed more activity from the Fire on their blog and twitter accounts, which now number 2. Much more activity.
