Message from Stephen Zack

Yes, we do.

 

We've got fricking Dick Vermeil over here, guys.

 

we could use the scoring this weekend!

 

Or Mike Schmidt (keeping it in the Philly theme)

 

It's BigSoccer. Idiots are assumed to be here.

 

Anywho, the point is this is another nice gesture by United to us fans.

We are really some of the luckiest soccer fans in this country.

 

Even some metros FANS agree...
From the Metros Boards:

From MLS N&A Forum:

Sig material!


We really DO ROCK!

 

I think it might be a good idea to have a Q & A thread for Stephen similar to the style of the Chicago board for Wilt.

I also think that it should be very strictly moderated, so as to not waste DC managements time around here.

 

I am in LA, and if DC advances, I will buy tickets to watch the MLS Cup. I used to be a Galaxy season ticket holder, but the soccer was unattractive, and is even worse under Sampson, so no games this year. Too bad, as we have a state of the art stadium. Hopefully DC will make it here, and I'll have a chance to see the squad. Nowak seems to have instilled a nice tactical knowledge in the players over the course of a season that is generally missing in the MLS. They also seem to now have patience, instead of always playing speed ball. Hell, I've even seen them connect more than 5 passes in a row on a number of occasions.

 

Absolutely agree. Their job is to sell tickets here to us internet freaks and to who we can reach out to, and making max use of their time w/out getting into any kind of trouble is best IMO.

Not only that, but it gives our "where have they been?" moderators something important to do.

Regardless, I like the acknowledgement appreciated.

 

I know that Stephen's comments are genuine. From day One it has been well known that the FO is grateful for our support. Albiet sometimes contentuous..we have always supported what is best for the club....Bravo to Stephen for Recognizing our efforts...now let us answer that 5 fold on Saturday. Bring your best. Bring the Rest. Just bring the voices!!!!!!

 

S,

Thanks VERY much for the note. Both the original note passed on and this subsequent, more personal version.

We're all extremely happy and excited about the team. Congrats to you and the rest of the organization.

One suggestion: I would talk to bigsoccer DCU board moderators revelation, MeridianFC or Knave about setting up a special thread for you. That way, you can deal with things without having to read through a bunch of threads and nonsense.

Again, congrats on a solid season. I'm bringin' the noise on Saturday.

 

I too would like to see a thread...From the FO...as a way for Stephen to communicate with we the masses....
to Stephen Zack;
Sir, you are a very classy guy, you handle we the silly and dedicated with the utmost in consideration.
I am pleased to know that you are holding the reins.
Customer Service has become a very daunting task in our world..you and the staff do a great job..
Thank you

Mike

 

100% in agreement. The entire DCU front office is a pleasure to work with.

Let me be the voice of dissent on the "Ask StevieZee" thread.

I'm sure that SZ has better things to do than answer meaningless questions on a message board. If there are legit customer service issues, take them up with him personally. Otherwise this thread will eventually devolve into a million variations "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Not for nothing, but there's an awful lot of whining in this and other threads. Zack may one day decide we're not worth it.

We don't need that.

What I wouldn't mind seeing is Kevin Payne "unfiltered". He can be pretty acerbic when he wants to be. That would be entertaining.

I'm just being funny and giving you a hard time Chico
Have a cup of coffee (or do a line, how you kick-start your day is not my business), consider who it was from, and chuckle

I've been pummeled by security (though strangely not CSC) before, so I know

 

Many things could be said about Lonnie, but dumb isn't one of them. Just check out the gals flanking him in the lower numbered seats of 134 (or is it 133?). You'd really have to twist someone's arm to make them stand next to Lisa, Thea and Leslie all night!

I'll leave it up to the moderators if they want to set something special up from the FO or not. As I stated before I don't browse as much as I used to due to time constraints but I am always reachable via e-mail or phone and I will gladly respond to any issues when needed. My goal is to be needed as little as possible which would likely mean that there are not problems that need to be resolved. Having said that, if someone wants to set up a Q and A, I would be happy to do it. Lets be honest though, most of what you are going to be interested in are issues related to the team, not RFK relations, ongoing security discussions or ticket sales plans for 2005. I do know that there are alot of questions about baseball but we are still waiting on answers from the DCSEC (we hope to meet later this week). I just don't want to over promise on what I can answer.

African or European?

 

Hey, but thats what happens when you wear a ninja mask and throw malatov cocktails at the WTO.
