I'm confused...if they can't charge admission at Reach 11, why are they still selling tickets online? Why would you buy tickets online if you didn't need them? Their game at San Jose this weekend was apparently postponed to 6/2, but they're going to host them next Saturday night.
They lost 9-1 in San Jose http://phoenixmonsoon.com/?match=real-san-jose-vphoenix-monsoon Next weekend they are hosting San Francisco Stompers. http://phoenixmonsoon.com/?match=phoenix-monsoon-vsan-francisco-stompers Of course as mentioned you can just buy a ticket for $5-$8 OR just walk in. If they're not going to charge they should at least team up with a charity and accept clothing/food donations in exchange for a mention.
Wow. I was told it was postponed. Guess it would have been better if it had been. So they're 0-6 in the league now, have been outscored 30-4 and twice have lost 9-1 (and there's a forfeit in there). They're completely non-competitive and a train wreck.
Well they're playing the stompers who have been outscored 17-5 in 5 games. So maybe they can get a draw. If not, no big deal. I don't expect anything from them this first season.
Okay so some of us are going to meet up at 16th st bar to watch the UCL final at 11:30 on Saturday, there should then be a FIFA 12 tournament and eventually we'll end up at Reach 11 around 7:00 to watch Monsoon take on the Stompers. Everyone is invited.
This might be the fourth or fifth coach this season: http://www.azkicksit.com/official-release-phx-monsoon-announce-coaching-change/
To be honest, I'm a little surprised the team still exists. First seasons are always a challenge, maybe by this time next year they will have figured out that they need a revenue stream to pay for things.
They lost 6-1 at Bay Area last night. So I think that makes them 0-7 in the league, with 5 GF and 36 GA. Details are sketchy, the league doesn't even keep great standings.
The league itself doesn't do much at all, they simply keep the league a legal D4, they leave it up to the regions (the teams themselves) for maintaining statistics, scheduling etc. The league fees are pretty much the American Soccer's minimum to exist. Personally I think the Monsoon shouldn't bother with the bay area teams, it's too much expense (for everyone involved) for amatuer teams.
Well, they have one more home game listed, and then back-to-back trips over to San Diego. Don't they still have to make up another home game? Oh, yeah, the San Francisco game from May 19 that was postponed. So it looks like they have four matches left?
Two home games left to be play in San Tan Valley at Poston Butte high school, 45 minutes out of the valley. They can now charge for tickets $10 a pop. There is a game next Satuday 6/17 and 7/7. According to their website they will be playing makeup games at the same location on 7/14 and 7/25 against Bay Area squads, we'll see how that works out. Also I have noted they have a new futsal link on their website which states: "Vision: The vision of the Arizona Premier Futsal is to be acknowledged as the leader in volleyball in Arizona. Don't think these kids will ever get their act together.
Well.....they can charge. They lost 4-1 in Santa Ana last night. At least they scored. This has been a disaster from the get-go.
I can't make next week's game anyway, I will try to make it out for the July 7th one. I have a feeling attendance will be down..............a lot.
Looks like they rescheduled the cancelled FC Tucson match for June 27. Good to have the return leg but Tucson is playing really well right now.
Is it a home leg if it's closer to Tucson than Phoenix? Kidding, is it going to be in San Tan Valley though?
