Dear everybody, Thanks. Thanks for getting that stadium built, warts and all. Thanks for scrapping that Strategic Partnership and returning normalcy to the North End. Wayne-- thanks. Thank you, Ben, for quietly making this topsy-turvy season actually work-out. Thank you, Chris Hull, for being a vital liaison between the fans and an often-too-distant FO. Thanks you, Uncle Jason, for figuring things out. Thank you, Tom Hunt, for agreeing to leave. Best of luck. Mind that doorknob. Thank you, Populous, for holding your nose and designing a functioning silk purse out of a measley 9.5 acre pig's ear (with an easement running through it, no less). Thank you Barra and DUs, for quickly and graciously getting past an ugly situation with the Screagles that could have poisoned SG relations for years. Class to the nth degree. Thank you, Lindsey. Get well soon. Thanks Dave and Devon. You are the "voices" of DCU. Thank you, North End fans, for bringing the noise. Thank you, non-North End fans, for joining your voices to the glorious ruckus. Thanks to all of the above. This season, we could dream again of greatness and recall the glory of the past. We now believe it can--and will-- return. [signed] Adler
That last night even stung at all is a testament to the hard work this team did top to bottom to change things this year. They've given us a team and a game worth cheering, complaining, and stewing over again. On to next year!
The season has been great entertainment - which is ultimately what I am paying for. I am still decidedly unhappy with the direction manglement has taken the relationship with its longtime customers but at least I no longer feel cheated...and I have to admit the viewing of the game is much better in the new digs.
Hey, I (for one) don't know what you look like. Maybe we could have a Big Soccer after-season get-together, and I'd be glad to buy you as many beers as you could handle.
Thanks beer vendors. There are a lot of you. It only takes a couple of minutes to get a beer, but it takes about 20 minutes to get rid of one....
I was not at the game, having other business to attend to. We were reduced to dvring the game, and watching it on delay.
Well said Adler and others. DC United is relevant again. Are we one of the top MLS clubs on or off the field - no. But we're back in the conversation, which is more than anyone expected this quickly.
