http://www.savethevictory.org Hey everyone, the site should be up tonight, please go and get everyone you know thats interested to sign up to be notified when the membership drive starts, also go and add us on www.myspace.com/savethevictory
walkingcity.....don't know who you are, but I thank you for putting this together, your efforts are certainly appreciated and I hope it will start us off to a positive beginning of something special...kudos to you.
Hey, i'm only helping out the 1906 supporters with design and promotion, so they deserve the credit for organizing all of this.
Absolutely....the 1906 are the driving force behind the movement, and they are a great passionate group of people. Couldn't ask for a better supporters group than that....but your input is also important and is appreciated by all of us.
Big thanks to Trevor (walkingcity) for getting the website together, designed and help getting it online! There is no way to repay your efforts!! Now that we have the site up its up to the rest of us to spread the word out there: Save the Victory!! www.savethevictory.org!!
Wow! this is great! Now as 1906ers,is there any particular plan how the word will be spread ? I think we should get an endorment from the SSV on this,I'm sure there will be many followers of the proyect if we can get that type of endorment. GO VICS !!
I've already spread a lot of the word on facebook, however the site seems to be down right now, probably not the best timing as we are trying to spread the word .
Ice Funk your typing in savethevictory.com NOT savethevictory.org Just corrected your post on USL Discussions about it
ive been looking all over the place there are posts about this on every single medium-large US soccer forums that i know of, and i'm working on getting a shout out for monday on World Soccer Daily
yea i've got the myspace page going, be sure to add us, and everyone digg the story: http://digg.com/soccer/Save_The_California_Victory_San_Francisco_Pro_Soccer
Signed up last night. I'm wishing for the best (also a stake in two football teams). Also, did anybody show this to the USL. Maybe if they knew what was going on they might take more of an interest in the problems.
don't worry, I only posted savethevictory.com on one site, and I corrected it. Is there a council made up so you guys can present this motion to companies/investors that may be interested? I mean people who can buy more than 10 or more shares. I mean I expect myself to buy 1 share, however getting 20,000 people to do that will be tough. However getting some investors to buy 10,20,30 shares, after a while it will add up. Luckily the Bay Area market is huge, and for all we know, maybe it will take all of 2008 to do this, and the Vics won't enter until 2009. Anyway, here's to the San Francisco Vics in 2009!
Is this project for real? I know you guys are serious about it and it's very exciting, but I mean from a financial standpoint, what are we looking at here? Will there be an actual corporation or financial institution to invest money into? What about financial numbers and projections? Monthly, Quarterly, Annual statements? This is wildly exciting to think about, but I do have a lot of questions.
Trying to finally register but it won't accept my email address is there a problem with the registration?
Hey guys, we just got this response from Tim Holt VP of USL: Thanks for the note and we are certainly aware of & appreciate the initiative. USL Management is simultaneously working to identify an ownership group that is capable of owning/operating the franchise in San Francisco, however time is short with respect to our need to make decisions involving the 2008 season. We will keep working at it until we find a solution or no longer have the luxury of time before fixing the 2008 alignment. We sincerely appreciate the continued and active efforts of the supporters, especially the ones who are involved in the initiative to save the club. Regards, Tim
How are things progressing with savethevictory.org? I just signed up and was curious how many other people had signed up and what the next step was.
