Thanks Dan for opening up this section.
This will serve and the Unofficial Official Home of the Unofficial Official NYCFC Social Club - [to be named later on should we all decide to].
First, since there seems to be some miscommunication - this is not a rivalry to the Third Rail Supporters Club. This is an off-shoot. A partner. A brother. While it's not expected: we encourage active participation in Third Rail and any other organization that exists to promote NYCFC, MLS, and Soccer as a whole.
If you haven't already - please take a moment to fill out:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MIKV57tb_k92eOa7l-mGAZF58yEcG8vamA56v1v_XaI/viewform?usp=send_form
this survey, so that we may gauge interest and get a feel for what everyone wants.
then head over to twitter:

and give us a follow. Sorry about the background and the avatar...we'll come up with something better.
Midas Mulligan had a nice little blurb on the survey so I'll c/p and leave it at that:
We aim to be a loose coalition of individuals who share Third Rail Supporters Club's passion for NYCFC, but prefer a more casual approach to the match and supporter experience. The vision behind this group is one of providing an organized platform for communication and collaboration that offers a complementary outlet for those who would like to enjoy the camaraderie of a supporters' group without some of the fervor typically associated with an MLS supporter section.
While the organization itself is not directly affiliated with Third Rail Supporters Club, we hope that each individual associated with our effort will opt to support TRSC in the manner of their choosing. For most of the organizers of the "NYCFC Social" effort, that means being dues paying members of TRSC to assist in funding their critical role in delivering a stadium experience of which we can all be proud. Of course, as with anything else associated with the "social" movement, the choice is yours alone (we aren't big on requirements).
The immediate goals of the "Social" group are three-fold:
1. Connect those who are passionate about the game and its growth, particularly as it relates to our city and NYCFC.
2. Communicate opportunities to participate in casual match day or other social gatherings centered around enjoying the company and conversation of people who have these shared interests
3. Set an example of the stadium environment we hope to cultivate by identifying a particular section, distinct from the dedicated supporters section, as "ours" (be it official or not), in which we aim to be supportive of the club while also being comfortable, hospitable and fun for ourselves and any guests.
If you came here from anywhere other than NYCFC Forums, we encourage you to take a quick look at the thread that began this effort. The link is below. If anything there resonates with you, we welcome you to join our dialogue both there and by completing this survey.
