AZ United General News and Information Thread

i agree that Sun Devil Stadium was a great location, but ASU screwed PFC over with the costs of playing there. from what i understand, ASU likes to do that with their facilities. yes, at the end of the day the "geniuses" that ran PFC agreed to the contract, but i think Eng and Co of AZ Utd would be wise to find a more financially viable location in 2015 if they don't want to continue using PSC.

i too like that right now the new owners are trying to keep it simple and just get a good product on the pitch. they have such a tiny window to get everything together that they must be working OT so it will work. i'm excited for this season again and i'm excited to find out what lies ahead for us.

 

Eh, I don't believe that's the case. The single largest unaccounted-for expense as I understood it was the rented seats from the Phoenix Open, which Tim Thomas originally claimed were bought and paid for. The fact that they had to keep paying for them every month, rather than just once, killed any chance at profitability.

Either that or I completely flummoxed that up.

 

Arizona Soccer Fans,

As we await the mods to approve our new user account so we can post, I thought I'd get the ball rolling here!

Arizona United was born last week and we are working VERY hard to provide soccer fans in Arizona an organization that you deserve!

At this moment, the website is under construction, a search for a head coach and players is well underway and ticket prices and ordering information should be available this week!

As you can imagine, we have a lot of work to do and are up for the task. Please be patient and hang in there, great things are ahead!

We want to here from you... What questions do you have? Fire away and I will reply!

Ron,

Your group has communicated more in the last week than Phoenix FC did in the last 18 months. Thank you. Customer service goes a long way. We know there will be bumps, but they are easier to take when the team you are paying to watch acts like they care that you are there.

Good job so far.

 

Thanks! We have a lot of work to do and a short time to get there. With that said, it is our duty to communicate with our clients. Clients as in fans like you! Looking forward to seeing you at a game!

 

USL has confirmed August 25th in Seattle as the replacement

 

Ticket pricing is live. Big improvement.

 

What if you guys played at Desert Vista High School stadium, I know it is probably out of the question but I'm just giving a suggestion

 

They've started to make the calls for official season ticket purchases today. With my refund from PSC for the PFC tickets I was able to buy my Arizona United tickets. Same price.

 

Yeah, this season is going to be rough. I can't imagine they will be able to assemble a squad that can work as a cohesive unit in such a short span of time.

 

This link was already posted in the post directly above yours. I know you think that you are providing some sort of public service by posting all your great finds, but in reality it has the opposite effect.


Now that all the euphoria over the new ownership is starting to subside, I'm getting nervous that they won't be able to get the team together in time. Even if they do, I'm guessing things will be ugly on the field at the beginning of the season.

 

oh no problem Matt, I deleted my post...thanks. Marc

 

Its going to be a roller coaster year, but we are going to have a great time. The most important thing is we have a team and an ownership group that will build on this and move it forward.

 

This is on AZ United's webpage under tweets:

"Kyle Eng ‏@kyledeng 1h

We are announcing the head coach of @AZUnitedSC today! Exciting stuff. Stay tuned."

 

3pm...so only 20 minutes to wait
