Apparently there will actually be a Supporter's Summit this year for STH's. It's Monday February 12th at 5:30 pm. The past 3 years I've pretty much tried to summarize and share what was discussed. This year I'm not a STH though, so I can't. Would appreciate anyone that is going to attend to report back anything worth mentioning, though I somehow doubt GB or Loughnane will say anything of substance.
This can't be the first year of STH only, is it? Yet it wasn't too long ago when it was open to everyone. Chelsey, I'd imagine they'd have lists... it's been done before. The start time seems a bit odd. I remember it being at 6:30 or 7 in the past.
I think they scan your card, can't remember honestly. I think the first year I might have just walked in, but I seem to remember having my card scanned last year. Don't quote me, but I think all 3 years I've gone it has been. Last couple for sure.
I was only asking because we have three season tickets, and I most definitely will not be able to attend. If the process consisted of printing off a ticket, then I could just help a fellow BS poster out.
There's an update going around Facebook. "We, the leadership of the supporters groups in the Nordecke, have heard the requests from our members and other Crew supporters to ask for a different venue for the 2018 Supporters Summit to accommodate a larger gathering. We were informed by the front office we could change venue, but that the speakers, Andy Loughnane and Greg Berhalter, would not be made available if the venue changed. Furthermore, for past summits, the supporters group section of the meeting was allowed to be streamed live, but the Q&A was not allowed to be streamed. We asked if we could stream the full event this year due to the demand. This request was also declined by the front office. The Supporters Summit is an event that has been held for the last 10 preseasons; the last 7 at the Upper 90 Club. The event has always been coordinated between the supporters groups and the front office, with the intent to open communication between us to come together as one for the upcoming season. It has always been offered to season ticket members for RSVP and then open to all supporters to attend according to the venue’s capacity. Due to this being the first time leadership in the FO have addressed supporters since the announcement PSV was looking into relocation, capacity has been reached. As always, the format for the event is a 30 minute update by the supporters groups about their plans for the coming season, followed by a 30 minute Q&A with Andy Loughnane and Gregg Berhalter."
CSC and CPD were there. Bags were inspected. Questions were deflected. https://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/comments/7x5cih/crew_supporters_summit_so_far/
