Hey guys, I'd like to be able to contact the initial organizers of the supporters groups (official and unofficial) around MLS and Sam's Army. Can you guys help provide me email addresses to contact each groups' organizers? Thanks
daniel.zirin@mindspring.com for River Ratz. However, I'm taking this year off (attending games, hoping things go well for the Rapids, but not doing the "supporters" gig due to my anger w/front office). So, I'm not sure you want to talk w/me...
SamPierron for KC. He also was behind the begining of the Supporters Sheild. He's no longer the leader of the Mystics though. That honor goes to KCSalty. Both are BS names.
"Turcs" of SJ fame didn't initiate Club Quake but is responsible for its current state of organization. He did a lot of work expanding and developing us.
Mark Spacone and John Wright (who does post on BigSoccer) were the original "founders" of Sam's Army. Mark still runs the group, and if you call the Sam's Army Hotline, and you get a person instead of a recording, you'll be talking to Mark.
For Ultras San Jose, contact Dan at Ultras_2003@yahoo.com Also, visit our website at www.sjultras.com
I was a cofounder of a now-defunct group. It got to be too much damn work - this is supposed to be fun! Our legwork pre-CCS got the NorthEnd up and running. There is at least one other active group occupying the 'End now, and a bunch of "non-affiliateds". Now I just go to games, have fun, and preach the gospel when not at games.
Except my PM box is perpetually full, and you might not get through to me. Also, I was hardly there at the beginning, and there are at least half a dozen people who have done - and are doing - as much or more than me...
