Welcome. Where on LI are you guys?
Currently, we have a location in the Hudson Valley (a microbrewery) for meetings/watch parties, about an hour north of NYC. We also have a location in the Bronx (a microbrewery), multiple options in Queens and one of our members will be opening up a bar in Manhattan. I'd say that's a pretty impressive list, considering we've been public for a couple of weeks.We're working on securing a Yankee Stadium pregame location, and have narrowed it down to a couple of options.
And reddit.You guys are getting lambasted out in the ol' Twittersphere...
Samples?Yeah. Any sensitive HoO members should stay off reddit. It's brutal.

i read the rules, it sounds like a country club
Agreed. Whether or not you agree with the rule shouldn't impact a decision to end discussion. I was not a fan of his choice. Thank god I won't have any goddamn reason to go on those groups once the TR forums are up.That FB thread in the new NYCFC Supporters Group was a fustercluck of idiocy. I can't believe Howell banned your folks after he called you out over pointless nonsense. I think you guys had trouble explaining how your rule about participating in other events wasn't as restrictive as he was reading it. To be fair I think it's confusing, but to ban the folks from your group over it was crazy childish and petty.

One of the TR guys basically called out HoO on the NYCFC Supporters Group FB page. Turned into a huge thing with a couple hundred comments of people bashing/defending HoO. Totally bush league for one of the TR guys to call out another SG like that. But then again, HoO sort of needlessly bashed TR, so I guess it was his retaliation.Can you explain more about what happened? genuinely curious
@SFphoto covered it. It was just a typical FB comment free-for-all until the banning took it to epic heights of pettiness.Can you explain more about what happened? genuinely curious
We want to create the feeling of having a supporter group that is also your football family. We want HoO to be your NYC football brotherhood (or sisterhood, as we do have some incredible ladies in our ranks as well!).
We can't stress it enough. We aren't in it for the big numbers. We think we'll grow bigger as the time comes, but we won't force it. We want people who actually watch/attend the matches, and care about football in our city.
You'll see more about us in the coming days. We're not being intentionally vague, we're just not going to put everything out there. There's something to be said about having a membership that has access to more information than the general public. Having said that, as we launch more images and make more public statements.... we're confident you'll get a feel for what we're about.
We won't just be in Queens. The early meetups were located where they were, simply because we attached ourselves to events being orchestrated by pre-existing groups, and have members that crossover with some of those social groups. It's very early in our existence, and it was the fastest way to get involved.

We'll be holding down a nice chunk of Section 238, so if you get the chance, swing by and grab a beer with us. Or, if you'd like, keep your eyes peeled for the next event!
Thanks for the interest, and for not being snarky! We appreciate it!
