    Dickbag makes the claim. Look on the bright side, Precourt hasn't moved to Austin yet -- meaning you still have time to get your ATX to Albuquerque scarves on order.

    If that means that Dickbag McTwoChins won't be competitive until we're all dead and gone, well, I'm certainly not complaining.

    Of course you don't. Now go stand in the corner and look hip.

    Bullshit.

    Is Kollin still part of your support?

    Go ask him about it. He can tell you about how he scrubbed his online accounts and was afraid for his job because of it.

    I saw him in person during 4-5 games, either on the concourse or when he came into SS . Can’t speak either way for the other ones. Guy seemed to spend a lot of time on Lake Austin this summer for somebody who doesn’t live here.

    Hello friends and lovers, glad to see everyone still holding onto the hate! Great season all around down here. About what I expected on the field. Off the field surpassed all expectations. Looking forward to facing you lot again whenever that may happen. Carry on and best of luck to us both in the playoffs.

    I'm excited to see where Austin ranks in these metrics after the 2022 season. Everyone puts up stellar numbers in their expansion year. Yawn.

    You mean the one team with no pre-existing merchandise sold more merchandise than the other teams who all had a pre-existing fan base with pre-existing merchandise? Como que?

    On the other side of this, people here said there would be no interest in Austin FC beyond the Hipster 6 (trademark) so quite impressive that they sold out every game. That said, expansion teams nowadays pretty much all do.

    I'll admit to being someone who was skeptical and has been somewhat proven wrong. Probably projection as my in-laws in the area couldn't care less about soccer, despite being the "right" demographic. But also because I know that the attitude is different around there (Not that I actually saw any games, but I'd be curious about drop count).
    They sold out every game, kudos for them.

    However, on that 5th highest average attendance...
    The Crew averaged 16,000. Their week 35 game had 19,000
    Nashville averaged 19,000. Their week 35 game had 26,000

    Seems odd, no? It's not like people can hoard up unused tickets and exchange them for the last couple games anymore. The Crew was essentially out of the playoff race by then. OSU and CBJ were in full swing, and yet, the end of the year sold 20% more than average.

    Let us not forget that everyone else played games the beginning of the season to limited capacity crowds due to Covid. Austin didn't have home games the first few months of the season.

    That 5th place average attendance drops next year, even if they continue to sell out.

    It's no secret here that I hold the staff of Austin FC, Babs, Kollin, Josh, Shawn, and a bunch of other people in the lowest regard possible. These are people that went out of their way to work towards stealing that which we love. And made no apologies for it. In fact, admitted they were doing it, and then attempted to gaslight those of us who were working to save the crew, into thinking that this was somehow an "us" problem and not a Precourt problem. I wish these people nothing but the worst.

    That being said, and because I'm a sucker for dogs, I'm pretty envious of the fact that Austin does this and we don't.

    So we're now giving credit for something which should be a baseline for being considered a decent human (being kind to animals)?
    Geez,everyone really does get a trophy.
    Also,to get this back on track...
    FCVK PRECOURT!

    Two Buttons LaughLame is big on helping homeless dogs. It's honestly a major focus of his life.

    And now I have to go punish my fingers for typing out something nice about that lying, two faced bag of shit.

    Hitler liked dogs too. Just saying.

    Crew Cat eats those phony-baloney piss-poor excuses for "mascots" for breakfast.

    Call the ASPCA or PETA. I'm fairly sure taking pets to a toxic waste dump is a crime against beast.

    There. Back on track.

    13 dogs is actually pretty pathetic for an organization of Austin FC's size, considering that there are probably upwards of ten thousand rescue animals that go through the system in Austin every year. There are individual people with regular jobs who provide help on that kind of scale.

    53 were adopted over the course of a barely-open-to-the-public Browns Training Camp this summer.
