Some time ago, last year in fact I suggested that the three groups should put aside their petty differences, get together and organize so they cab bolster their numbers in the South Ward, and at the same time spread the awareness about the club, grassroots style. Needless to say I was ignored, laughed at and of course, cursed out for even suggesting the idea.

 

I mean, lord knows should another supporters club ever get themselves organized to get the word out and beat us to the punch...

Well, at least you weren't tarred, feathered, and sent out of town riding a rail.

 

And perhaps you should join a group instead of constantly making suggestions and attempting to direct the SGs via message board posting. Be the change you want to see or whatever.

 

Also, if you think this is real, then... lol. 


Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

Honestly, you guys get so worked up over City's advertising... When was the last time you actually responded to a billboard or subway poster?

So you're saying the supporters should organize a FO run supporters group? Cause i will tell you right now, they dont have anything close to the number of people or capital to do a commercial marketing effort like that on their own.

Not to mention there's very little buzz about organizing this type of thing around their various web appendages. Reeks of astroturfing.

 Where are their supporters clubs getting revenue? A dollar will get you twenty that NYCFC paid for this. Something to bait their supporters with.

Third rail who ? 99% of people walking by that poster will probably ask that question

That looks more like someone's trying to start a union strike than a soccer supporter's group.

Theres no way any supporters group paid for this let alone one that just started with probably less than 500 members. To buy ads like that is a few thousand dollars. No way they raised that kind of dough. Most likely this is part of the NYCFC meadia buy package and decided to do something "grassroots" and help the supporters out.

 

While I do think it will be beneficial for all 3 clubs to be more cohesive, if we wanted to do this on this side we will need the support of RBNY. And by support I mean money. And they cant even buy ads to sell tickets at the moment let alone for a supporters club.

Has to be an ad done by NYCFC. I believe most people would walk right past it and have no idea what it is referring to.

Assuming this is even real grassroots stuff, why do you assume its anything more than a single SG doing their thing, and that it in implies any sort of unity across SG's?
