I said that on the fb page and got responded to with the words "organic" and "grassroots". We'll see how that looks when away fans are consistently out singing us at YS because people are still figuring out what to chant. Or god help us the generic MLS chants every other club does. Then I would truly want to stop following this team.
Hey, Third Rail...
- Thread starter Drainyoo
- Start date
I don't get why TR is against having a few set chants that everyone knows. Makes no sense.
from reddit: You wanna know what made it super awkward? By the time they let all the fans in, the place was already full of suits and corporate types. Was kind of...idk unwelcoming? Cheering and "hooliganism" felt like it would be out of place. I felt like an extra in a commercial, honestly. Poor execution by the club.

This was another interesting thing from that reddit thread. Not sure what to take from it. I agree and disagree with some points.
Chance was wearing a spiffy top hat though.
Oh lord. I really hope this isn't something that other supporters think is going to go on.
Credit to whoever brought the Astoria flag. Astoria stands strong for NYCFC!!!
Wow, what the hell? That's lame on NYCFC's part.
Listen to how awkward the moment when Villa unveiled the jersey. You can hear just one person clapping. Throw out any excuse you want, but he was surrounded by TR. They should have been cheering.

That one guy: We clap now, right? I'm gonna clap. *golf clap* Oh, maybe not...
Totally. I'm from Astoria and would've known if such a group existed. I even sent NYCFC a tweet asking if I could take the banner after the event.. It would at least help me kickstart my NYCFC Astoria Supporters Club haha!
hahaha, that video is hilarious. Almost like there was no one and hes just stripping for one person.
I was there and i think everyone was looking at the stage. But there wasnt loud cheering until he got on the stage. That moment in the vine video and his walk to the stage were some of the most awkward moments ive ever been it.
Once he got on the stage where everyone could see him, it was louder.

I was standing right against the green carpet and I had no idea he was standing there. It was a major flub to have him standing in the middle of the crowd at ground level. He should have walked the carpet with the track jacket on and unzipped it in front of everyone. The woman filming this was standing right in front of him (obviously) and was blocking the view of everyone standing at the edge.
Agreed. I was all the way in the back on the side by the entrance and I couldn't see anything until he walked on stage. This was the case for a bunch of other people as well since there seemed to be more people on the side and under the overhang than in the main hall. The space was bad too. Very weird setup. He should have walked on stage and taken of the jacket so everyone could see.
And the host... that fuckin' host. So bad. Beyond bad.
I'm from Astoria too, that's why it caught my attention. It actually looked nice, but why are they doing this? Weird.
As I understand the guys that decided that are no longer with TR. You can always bring it up to the Board tomorrow during the meeting.
