We all complain page after page when the FO screws up or doesn't meet expectations.
How about we have a thread to discuss when they do something right.

Hopefully as the season progresses, we can use it more and more often.

Good news from the Fire today:

The Chicago Fire and the United Neighborhood Organization (UNO) today announced a partnership
Cool. Only good things can come of this. I like it a lot.

Over 3,000 students and teachers from the UNO network of schools will be selling tickets to the Fire’s May 31st match up against FC Dallas at TOYOTA PARK with proceeds from the sales benefiting UNO.


Am I reading that right? They got 3 THOUSAND kids to do some ticket sales? That is awesome.

Blanco and Segares doing a school appearance?! That's great!

Thank you Fire front office for this latest effort.
:cheers:

That's good stuff.

Let's not forget they gave us a good deal on tickets for the month of May, too.

I'd like to thank the FO for giving me at least a couple thousand pocket schedules to hand out to the different churches, restaurants, tiendas, community organizations, traveling soccer teams, etc. They could have given me just a few or a short stack or none at all. But nope. They overfilled a bag so much they needed a second bag to place the first bag in just to hold them all. I never go anywhere without one in my wallet and a stack in the glove compartment. Like freakin' AMWAY or Jehova's Witnesses. Talk it up, sell the team, sell the tickets.

Credit where its due.

Thanks for keeping the practices open to the general public and allowing fans to show up to meet one of the greatest players to ever come out of Mexico. They could easily close them to everyone or open them only for STHs, but they haven't. And they could charge for admission and parking, but they do not.

Makes me wish I did not have a 9-5, I'd love to check out a practice.

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!

Thank you to the FO for helping us with other teams' FO's when they get outta line or make life annoying for us.

Thank you to the MLS for getting in on that call today--that is how you help, show active interest in the minutia of how we do things, and how we communicate between supporters and FO and supporters and other FO's!

:cheers:

Maybe you should blog about it to explain and as an example for other teams!
