what i am mainly writing about is why don't we the fans passionate or just casual create a
supporters group for the eagles, something where fans alike can meet up and
gather together before home games, organize meetings at local bars or resturnats for those of us who have little ones. the AO's each have a go to pub to watch soccer matches at and if are to get more people turned on to rugby and show networks that there is a demand then we should each localy begin to organize with each other and have a place of gatherings for each test match or major set of games, six nations, rugby championship or Heineken cup finals.
im not saying lets build TIFO's and bring smoke bombs to games, although it wouldn't hurt , but rather lets better organize our self's for the betterment of our country, for all four major national teams, give them a home advantage worthy of our foes to be afraid of.
i hope to create a Facebook page dedicated to such thing and I am suggesting The 75's as a name, but open to better choices of course. 75 for the creation of USA Rugby organization.
thoughts are welcomed
Nick, These groups are already formed and working. They may not have the catchy names but in Houston we have the Lost Afternoon. This fundraising luncheon has filled banquet halls in Houston for five years now and is one of the reasons two Int'l Test matches in Houston filled the stadium. Brian Vizard's USRFF Hall of Fame Induction ceremony always tends to bring plenty of Eagles Supporters (it defo did last year).
ReplyDeleteHowever, If we want to see 70K+ in a stadium for an Eagles Test, they've got to be winning.
