A quick word from our sponsor:
Seattle Sounders FC Supporters Meeting!!!
Location: Qwest Field

Recent Results:
August 24, 2008: Sounders 4:3 Railhawks – Josh Gardner returns from injury to score a brace in a wet and wild match. Railhawk Hamed Diallo scored a hat-trick, completely decimating starting left-back Adam West twice.
August 20, 2008: Sounders 0:0 Whitecaps – Sounders looked generally flat in a game that Eylander saved the team’s, and Zach Scott’s, bacon. Looking back, I cannot remember a decent chance from the Sounders – as harsh an assessment as that is. Worst part was that Vancouver was missing at least two starters who were on international duty. Consolation prize for this day was USA walking out of Guatemala with three points on a 0:1 victory.
August 15, 2008: Sounders 0:3 Islanders (PR) – The Sounders looked like they were in a hangover after the US Open Cup match and who can blame them. Eylander courageously took his spot between the pipes after a heartbreak three days prior. What more can be said besides this: the Sounders only managed two shots in the entire 90 minutes.
Last, but not least: Membership Details Coming Soon!
Keep your eyes and ears open as we will be announcing membership details soon. Look for a package deal for the 2009 season which will include a scarf, t-shirt and membership card for $30. Once I have more details I will sent them all your way. For now, please admire these initial designs:
T-shirt design, will have text “Brougham End Faithful.”
Scarf design. Got word from Ruffneck that they will be 7” wide by 54” long and proper on each side now (with the last order the scarf had to face you upside down to be viewed right-side-up). J
Well, that’s it for now. I’ve got to get to training for ECS FC and then hit the pub. If you’re interested in playing for ECS FC please shoot me an email.
I hope to see each and all of you at the Supporter’s meeting on September 11th! Please remember to RSVP.
Lastly, if anyone is going to see Rancid on the 12th hit me up and we can meet up before or after the show.
See you on the terraces,
