Mike,

Mike it is good to here from you. Our group the
Timbers Army is very basic and that is why we are
getting so many supporters joining in. Anyone can join
us no membership fee or card. We have no officers
which everyone really likes. We are unofficial but we
do go by the rules set by the stadium management. We
are getting bigger by word of mouth the internet and
media are playing a small role in that. We have good
communication with the GM of the Club.

What this all means is, we have had lots of people
stepping up to take charge in ordering and designing
our own scarfs. We had a group make a huge flag for
our section. We have had someone step up and organize
a bus for our away matches in Seattle. Plus we have
many websites ob the Timbers. I have a huge e-mail
list for all the fans that are part of the Timbers
Army.

The basic rule we follow is to support the team by
singing and chanting the whole match in the section
behind the North Goal win or lose. Keep it fun and
allway get together before and after matches. We get
together in the off season too.
We keep getting larger and if all clubs in the USA do
what we do soccer will gain more supporters in the
future.

If you have anymore questions please contact me.

Kurt (Drumman)
