    To all Borough Boys:

    On July 17th, 2008, another board member and I met with potential owner Fred Wilpon about the possibility of bringing a Major League Soccer (MLS) team to Queens. This was a very positive and exciting meeting. It took place in the corporate offices at Shea Stadium, during which Mr. Wilpon discussed plans for a potential team and stadium in the area.

    It can be said that Mr. Wilpon has a very strong interest in making this happen. Local councilman Hiram Monseratte, who was also in attendance, was in complete support of the plans.

    Needless to say, these are very exciting times for the Borough Boys. Without question this was one of the biggest days in the short history of our organization. There is more news to report about this meeting, which will be delivered at a later date. Please stay tuned to these email bulletins for further news and upcoming events—and plan to be present. You do not want to miss out on this parade!

    Cheers and Borough Till I Die,

    Nick Laveglia
    President, Borough Boys Supporters Club

    Please understand that we are trying to coordinate the releasing of more details in a way to maximize public/press attention, which is why we have to leave them out here. But there is more information on the way.

    PS nick we may want to add "meeting with Fred Wilpon" to the title so that people will be more likely to read the thread.

    Mods may I also suggest that we post a duplicate thread in the Main Expansion forum. This is MAJOR news and should be treated as such.

    Thanks.

    Please, please, if you say we've accomplished anything, we will be giving soccer fans "false hope" and they will die.

    Yea 'false hope' leads people down the wrong path and away from what really is happening in the MLS. Forget the BOROUGH $#&P*&('s they dont have any relevance!

    With a high power meeting such as this.... Its safe to say that this is going to be a reality...........

    I dont think you have NYC haters... what you have is people who question why you never supported the only other local team there is today..here and now.... thats all.....for what ever your reasons i'm sure they are valid...
