    Funny bit, this Fangoso-thing. Seriously, we are enjoying it. :)

    Too bad their creativity couldn't be put towards other things too...
    ...like drawing a crowd for the matches.

    Si más tiempo estuvo pasado en la comercialización seria en vez de
    este absurdo entonces los attendances y el interés pudieron mejorar
    realmente.

    According to my dictionary, this means "Your breasts are like the melons of Tuscany."

    If more time was spent in serious promotion instead of this absurdity, then the attendance and interest could really improve.

    Pero, ademas del traduccion, no se de que tema este frase toque. Fangoso no es una persona - es un broma? Ay, tal vez no importa - es New England, no? A mi no me interesa mucho.

    ¡Hola Big Frank! Tu habla español excelente. No realicé que hay una comunidad Latino en Dublín. Es muy difícil conjeturar su identidad verdadera. Por una época I pensado le era el mal hermana de Brian O'Donovan, pero ahora sé que no puede ser verdad. ¿Es usted realmente el fantasma de Norberto Longo? :eek:

    It seems that the Rev's marketing department has spent more time marketing Fangoso than the team. I wish they were more creative in marketing their new season "soccer smiles."

    I know that Slyde is no one's favorite creature but is Fangoso any different? Maybe Twellman's face should be in every subway car and Adin have a forty foot replica of himself on the SE X'way with "1-800-GET-REVS" below but why give a bad time to what is essentially another mascot and, I think, a lot more entertaining one.

    Since Matt Reis has a history of comedy club connections and appears to get a good kick from life, what the hell, keep it up. I agree that more Revs presence in the general media would be great but it still is April the fatties are having their draft, hockey and b'ball are crashing down, the Sox are mauling the hated Bombers and it has only just begun to get warm. What do folks expect?

    The problem is that Craig is whining about "not enough interest to warrant having a season-opener in New England," while no one in Foxboro is actually doing anything to attract any kind of interest. Fangoso is a bone thrown to the hard core. Hey, I love it, Reis is a riot - we need stuff like this. But it appears that Fangoso IS the great get-the-fannies-in-seats Spring Promotion for the Revolution front office. (The Fangoso wigs will no doubt be available in the Pro Shop well before the jerseys!)


    Next up...and we're only 4 weeks out...Adu's debut at Gillette on Memorial Day weekend. Sure, their website is promoting his arrival, but what about the other 6 million people in the Commonwealth, will they know?

    Fangoso Folly ...

    Jim Dow, there is your answer to what some people expect.

    Message to the Revos front office: "Don't just sit there, do something."

    Jim and the Magpie have made reasoned excuses why the Revos are not on the media's radar screen at the time they have kicked off a new season. No disagreement there.

    But what are they doing about it?

    "If Mohammed won't go to the mountain, bring (at least part) of the mountain to Mohammed."

    The Revos could put themselves on the radar screen, but it would have involved spending some money on advertising and marketing. But they haven't done that.

    So they can sit there and twiddle their thumbs and wonder why more people don't come to games or have interest in their product.

    They have two major problems:
    1. Getting people to go to the games.
    2. Making it an enjoyable experience and turning people into repeat customers.

    Only the diehards are attending with any regularity, and that's not enough for a successful franchise. The diehards are not treated right, either, but they keep on going back because they love soccer.

    Casual fans have turned away and nothing is being done to lure them back or generate new ones.

    And some people wonder why this franchise has regressed as the team has gotten better?
