New Chants: Learn them, Love them, Live them
As you may have heard at the DC United match, our capos broke out a new chant. Well, in reality, they have two new chants at the ready, and you should study them, and be ready to bring it on Sunday.
Here they are with lyrics on YouTube
Give the Gift of Soccer
It’s been said that soccer is the great equalizer. We couldn’t agree more. And, that’s why our community partner AC Portland was started. Their goal is to help kids grow into happier, healthier, more creative people, all with the help of the beautiful game. And while we can’t fix the education budget shortfalls that affect Portland schools, we can do something about it.
RAISE 2014: A Celebration of Sport, Creativity, and Youth!
Join AC Portland on May 30th for RAISE 2014, their second annual fundraiser auction at Kells Irish Pub. There’ll be Great Food. There’ll be some poetry. There’ll be a bunch of sports collectibles to bid on. Oh, and did we mention there’ll be Portland Timber players?
Tickets are limited, so please purchase today!
Wristband Policy Change for LA Match
Note: We are simply passing this information along to make sure everyone has it, we do not control the wristband distribution.
From the Timbers front office:
"Wristbands will be issued on Saturday, May 10th sometime between 8am and 12pm. Any wristbands remaining after 12pm will be held and issued starting at 8am on Sunday, May 11th. No lines will be allowed after 12pm on May 10 due to the Portland Thorns FC match that evening."
Membership Referral Contest
During the month of May, current 107ist members will be entered into a drawing for FREE Timbers Army Section Tickets for the 8/24 home match against Seattle when they refer a new or returning member to join the 107ist.
To be entered in the drawing, simply have a friend or family member sign up or renew, and have them enter your name in the "referred by" field when they sign up. The winning draws will receive one GA ticket for the new or returning member and one for the member who referred them. NOTE: Renewing members will need to go to their profile page and update the referrer there as it will not show on the form
In addition, those who persuade 3 or more members to join during the month will be entered in the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING of a single reserved seat ticket in the FRONT ROW of South Deck section SD3. You can't get any closer if you want to give goalkeeper Stefan Frei some "advice" during the match.
