Press Conference Thread

Get Garber on the Phone! Let's get this announcement a-goin'!

 

man i was so ready to cut class and hop on the train with my chest painted. but since you asked nicely.... i can wait

 

I may get some heat for this but I just had a thought that maybe none of us should go

I mean at this time were probably gonna get a ton of flack from everyone who hates government funding for a sports team so maybe we should back off this press conference and let the politicians tout the overall development of chester to appease them

the cat is pretty much out of the bag already so maybe its a mute point but if we send anyone I think it should only be 1 or 2 guys.

I don't want this dominating the media as of yet as that could hurt us in the delicate time of our short but awesome history. but then again it could help us too...I don't know, maybe im just being pessimistic.

when the vote is cast and the team is granted, then we can come out in droves.

anyway...I hope im not today's killjoy

 

Just tell us when to show up for a team announcement... I'll be there, drunk as a skunk, ready to burn some New England kits.

 

Well done, Bryan.

Thanks for checking on the details of tomorrow's event. We will have a day for celebration
down the road when things are finalized.

I am sure we will have some get-together in the future where we slap each other on the
back and raise a glass (of ginger ale) or two to enjoy the moment.

 

Bryan,
Please ask to schedule the official announcement after I return from Orlando Wed, Feb 6th...

Thank you

 

Just my .02 - you're probably right about not wearing scarves, etc., but don't necessarily worry about going. The elders should go; it's a public announcement and there's no problem with the public being there.

I would expect Pileggi to continue his theme from the article the other day and focus on the overall development of the waterfront, essentially downplaying or even not mentioning the stadium.

 

That's probably the hardest thing you've ever HAD, period.

 

Great news hopefully. If we get our team before I head to Daytona Beach in a few weeks I might have to get the Sons of Ben logo inked on my arm (right below the Old Eagles logo I've had for 15 years). Hope to make it up to the Dark Horse next week.

 

I'd go for a nice cold glass of ginger ale!

 

can u hear it?

the angels...the angels are singing


ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA ALLELUIA AAAAAAA LAYYYY LOU YAHHHHHHH!


Someone should start a thread tomorrow of all of us pulling "bill and ted's" and just continously replying...."WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

The meeting is about the economy, not soccer. Don't hijack it by celebrating or talking soccer to the media.

 

I just saw NBC10 talking about the anouncement coming today, it was just so cool to see it on TV and seeing the development plan in the background.

I can't wait for the official team announcement! I'm already saving now so I can get my season tixs and buy out all the merch!!!!!

 

ComCast SportsNet SportsRise w/ Ron Burke did a piece on the conference, and they characterized it as Gov Rendell announcing the state's contribution to a soccer stadium, using an MLS logo as their graphic!
How do you like dem apples?
Somebody better tell THEM it's all about economic development.

 

Imagine that Frank, a sports channel puts a sports spin on a story with sports implications for the future.

 

No, no, Davie.
It's about ECONOMIC Development for the City of Chester.
Bryan told me.
That's why we can't attend an open, public PC!!
It's only for the IMPORTANT people - big shotz and dignitaries!
And, as a professional journalist, it's NOT "spin", it's the angle.
Yours truly, Mr Oblivious

 

No prob!
The exercise of restraint is only ONE of my greatest virtues.

 

So even if we don't have a group going there... do we at least have some word on when TV or print media will have coverage we can view?
