Night Train Veeck Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ladies and Gentlemen, The time is nearing! Tomorrow is the trial run for the revival of the Sox Supporters. Things have been going well in drumming up people to come, and thanks to those that have emailed me with all of their ideas, and thoughts to make this great! For anyone else interested that hasn't heard already, here is the link to the tickets. Just use the code "support" and you are good to go! https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/go.htmI?l...646&g=69349 If anyone has any other questions, please let me know, and I would be happy to answer any. We have some banners and flags coming over from Section 8, and the Brigade and feel free to bring any of your own to contribute. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

RockRaines Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm a very supportive fan, but I follow Sox fan rules, if they are out of it or suck, I dont go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox fan rules? Sounds like fair weather fan rules to me. The Sox are my team, good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are my team, good or bad. There's one year when I went to more games than any other year and that was 1970 (56-106). Nuff' said.

Night Train Veeck Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well, North Side, ya beat me to it...I don't know where these "rules" are but I sure haven't seen em You should follow the real Sox fan rules, and come on out, and support em! Besides, a little late after elimination, they aren't sucking at all! So head on out! Worse comes to worse you have a a few beers, have a little fun and get out to a game for half price! Am I going to be able to shake the notorious North Sides hand?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'd go to a game whether they are in it or not. Sometimes it's just fun to go when they're out of it...provided you can get the tickets cheap. If I didn't have stuff going on tomorrow night, I'd be there.

The Sox are my team, good or bad. More of a logical business choice to me. You wouldnt pay $$ to go see bad movies would you. Put a good show on, show us a quality product and Ill spend my $$ on your tickets. Put a crappy show and team out there, no saying I wont support or be a fan, but I have no reason to spend my limited entertainment $$ on you then. Thats a good fans motto, something that doesn't exist on the Northside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Train Veeck Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 The show is looking pretty good at this point! Save for the fact we aren't in the race, this is some of the best ball we have played! If you want bang for your limited entertainment dollars, I'd say a good team, and half off tix is a pretty good way to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Veeck Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Side note: I just met with a group of Section 8 guys (section8chicago.com), and they have a lot of flags, and a few banners that are being brought in. Should be a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChrisSamsa Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'd be in on this, but I already got seats for $1 a piece. I'm all for it, and I'll be staring right at you guys! Bring it hard tonight! I want this to make it to next year so I can enjoy in the festivities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot me your email address and ill keep ya posted. unfortunately, this will be my first/only game this year in the 500 level, with "no access" to the 100 level. If I can manage to scoot by the 100 level guard, I'll come check it all out. I'll PM you my email so you can keep me updated next season.

Thats a good fans motto, something that doesn't exist on the Northside. The problem with that analogy is you know in advance what the movie will be like. The movie results do not change from day to day. With a sporting event, you do not know if it will be a good or bad game. Heading out to the ballpark to watch baseball is a good show. If you judge the experience by the team winning or not, then you would never go because you do not know the results before the game. Even two last place MLB teams put on a damn fine movie show.

witesoxfan Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Living 500 miles away, I'm obviously not going to be able to make the last game this year, nor probably any next year. BUT, I would strongly suggest making a Facebook fan page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Veeck Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hey everyone! First off, I'd like to thank everybody for their ideas and support in making the debut of the Sox Supporters great! It went really well! We had flags, drums, banners, got solid TV time, and stadium shot time also! Just under 70 people showed up! I have some pictures that are currently in the works, so I will post them when I get them in my hands. The flags and chants were in full force, and the whole crowd was wondering what was going on...it was perfect! Next, I wanted to let everyone know that I believe they are working on really getting this thing going for next year, so keep it tucked in the back pocket, and keep the ideas coming. I have a few tweaks and things written down for experiencing it, and they really want to work with people on this, so it can be great! Thanks again, everyone, and I hope that even more people head out next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
