Went into their shop last night. Bought one of their tops ($72) and a vest ($50). That's this weeks beer money gone.

Got speaking to one of their sales associate (shop assistant) who informed me they get 35K average crowds and have 18K STs. Considering football (soccer) is well down their priority of sports that is amazing.

Went on their website to buy their "best value ticket" for this Saturdays game and I was offered a seat on the half way line by the touchline ( similar to sitting by our tunnel) for $165 (£100). However ST holders can resell their tickets on a match to match basis using the official website meaning I can get a ticket equivalent to our 116 stand for $30 ( £23).

Got speaking about Eddie Johnson as he had a spell with these guys. Eddie has had to retire due to a heart problem. The extent of the problem was that he could have quite easily died of an attack while playing.

Yes they are. It's going to be a 65 seater stadium. Some of them are concerned that it will look empty if they go ahead. Sounds familiar hey.
