For those STHs who want to tell Dome in person how important this game is, there are still at this moment 6 spots left (out of 80) for the meet and greet at Rock Center on Thursday. Just 100 points -- I'm surprised it didn't sell out faster.

Funny you say this... was at the game in Chicago and they had a media guy coming up to NYC fans asking us to help make a video for Dome to watch so he can better understand the rivalry and the passion involved in it.
Honestly, just let him watch a compilation of the GoT battle between The Mountain & Red Viper, then the Red Wedding, and finally the Battle of the Bastards scene. Maybe for good measure a finale of Hardhome. Roll one into the next continuously.
That should give him an idea....
They just posted it on the NYCFC instagram, I watched it! Seemed pretty good. I hope they play it in front of the players on a fucking loop, after these past two
hmm, new European coach leading NYCFC, still learning the league, seems to prioritize possession and offense over defense, heading into his first NJRB derby, playing at home....I remember how this went last time, very nervous.
i wasn’t expecting a win in Chiraq, nor am i expecting a win here. it’ll take time to perfect the changes Domè will bring.
i expect to see some new faces in the 11. and a Tie at best

Terrible. It just looks and feels pathetic. It was a GREAT idea that was executed poorly. (in my opinion) This was not something to post publicly. This should have been a private communication from the fans to Dome.
If that's all he sees, he will feel absolutely nothing.
A great idea executed poorly? From NYCFC? Surely, you jest.
I'm not even sure the video is a good idea. I don't think -- especially while we have a losing record against RB -- that fans can do or say anything to emphasize the importance of the derby without sounding desperate. Have you folks been to any City in the Boroughs meetings after a derby loss? Half of it it just a succession of people coming to the mike to say (1) they really hate losing to the Red Bulls, (2) they love this team so much that losing to the Red Bulls makes them ill, (3) and they really, really, really, hate losing to the Red Bulls. I mean the point gets through, but it's not a good look and definitely not suitable for public consumption.

I just now actually watched the video and yes i agree that was absolutely horrific. 
We just need our real fans to show up at Dome's house at 1:30 sunday morning and chant and sing all night.

He doesn’t get it. He’s not really going to get it, at least not soon. And we can’t expect him to really get it.
I share
mgarbowski ’s concerns. If this isn’t extremely well made, it’s going to look like a lot of the other stuff the club does- rushed, poorly thought out, gimmicky and a waste of resources.PS- if I seem overly negative about the club all the time, it’s cause I am. And they deserve it.

The video was amateurish and cringe-worthy. With that said, the guy doesn’t need a video to understand what a derby means. He already gets it. And I am sure that his staff and players provided additional context.
