The Tifo Thread

[nikhak]

Melissa bought a bunch of awesome red card board stars a few games back. They weren't six point stars but they were still pretty rad. I found a site where we can buy them online for much cheaper than she got them for. Should we raise money and buy some for one of the upcoming games this season?

I was thinking the biggest ones would be good- what do you guys think?

Jander as well as Marc had cool tifo ideas involving white and blue table rolls... making the chicago flag. This might be good for the August 2nd match since it's the last regular season game and it's against the LA Sol...

What do ya think?

I can actually (most likely) get a hold of huge cardboard boxes, trace the 6 pointed stars, cut them out and paint them red. If we're going to do this, we need these to be about 2 1/2 feet wide if we do it 20 ft across (and 5 rows back). But I'm thinking that may be too big for our attendance right now. Maybe 12 ft. Anyway, I guess we can have a bunch of smaller ones though too for random tifo.

Regardless, if we were to pull the flag idea off, we're gonna need to drag people over from other sections to help out.

Also, just a question I've been wondering about, are we the only team with an actual supporters group? To be quite honest, I really haven't watched any games other than Red Stars, so I never noticed. Just curious. I want to know just how much more hardcore we are

Athletica has a supporters group, Laclede's Army, which has a website (http://www.lacledesarmy.com/) a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43622791466) and a twitter page (LacledesArmy).

I think the stars would look totally cool if everyone had one. Last time we only had 50 but since these are cheaper we could afford a lot more. I say let the fundraising begin! Also, are there any rules about fundraising or is everything fair game? Maybe we can think about planning some events...

Do we have to keep the Chicago tifo flag in our section? Don't you think other Stars fans would want to help "raise the flag?" I think we could get people pretty pumped about it and then have someone up in the press box take a picture and put it on the jumbotron. I can see it now...and it looks pretty sweet.
