Just bought my first RSL items yesterday(shirt and Flag). And as soon as the tickets are available i will be official!!!! By the way i think the RSL logo, patch, crest, or whatever it is called is one of the best in the league. Also, i am finding more interest up here in Jackson WY then i thought i would for coming to games which will be fun/helpful. Can't wait for the season to start.
I was on the RSL site and saw something for the loyalists. Is that a supporters group or is that just some cheesey thing to sign up for? Are any of you "loyalists"?
They are a supporter's group. RSL has two main supporter's groups, the Loyalist and RCB, Rogue Cavaliers Brigade. I am an RCB member. If you want to know more, let me know. Welcome and hope to see you at a match soon.
Vocabulary expansion... ("I had no idea that word could be used as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and punctuation?!"
Do the RCB, and loyalist members get free parking in the West lot? If so, this seems to be a substantial benefit.
I am certainly into tailgating and my friends that i will be bringing are also down. Do i need to be a member of RCB to tailgate with you guys? Also i won't be able to make it to all the games as i do live in Jackson WY, does that alienate me from becoming a member?
The only thing that would alienate you would be if you were a cRapids fan (and we have even drank beer with them too). No, if you want to hang with us it's free, there is usually some sort of animal (goat for the Chivas match) being grilled up and plenty of beverages (both those that are mormon approved and those that are not). If you want a shirt of scarf, that is $20 and that gives you voting membership in the group. If that doesn't matter to you, there is no cost, other than we are in section E38, so we would encourage you to buy a ticket for that section if you want to be with us in the stadium. Our tailgate is located in the main stadium parking lot by the TRAX station. Look for the fat guys in black shirts, it's pretty easy to find. As for a parking permit, we haven't heard anything official this year, but last year anyone who was a dues paying member and also had season tickets got a permit. Again, we have heard nothing official this year about parking, so your guess is as good as mine right now.
So is the shirt and scarf something i can buy from a member at the tailgate or do i just buy one online? How many people are in RCB?
Tailgate is usually the best place. I think Reed has them all, so just ask for him. Right now we have about 20 or so dues paying members, some more active than others. Game to game, we have like 25 or so people with us in our section, most aren't paying members. Oh and if you buy the first item, the second is $13.
