How to make the Loyalists even better?

There's a chance that some meetings have occurred that aren't publicly announced. :unsure:

No, we won't complain. As a matter of fact, we feel that we have a great relationship with most of the socialists as well. :signpeace

Great comeback, I would rep you for that, but I am out.

I agree with fuegote that there is a lot more that we could be doing. People are itching to help, anxious to make things awesome. The Loyalists need to have some more lofty goals, in my opinion. I can probably think of a dozen things I'd personally love to be involved with, helping out.

I think our Loyal Leader is the right person for the job. He has been a vocal support of Utah soccer for years, he is very diplomatic and very level-headed. I'm not saying he's perfect, but he's the right man for the job right now. However, I think responsibility needs to be distributed a little more so our L.L. doesn't have to be responsible for so much himself. (Major props to Steve, Ethan and Jason for the amazing amount of work they've done.) I have tried to offer my assistance where appropriate and I'm trying to make the best of the MOTM and newsletter (oops, no newsletter this week.. the midweek game got me all muddled up.)

I think that some rules of operation would help the Loyalists a lot. For example, how do we "elect" leaders in the future? I think that Glenn is doing a fabulous job and I'll vote for him again next year, but we should have at least two candidates for the major positions so people can really voice their opinions and make sure the Loyalists belong to everybody and not just a few.

Oooh, I like those ideas too. Spread the responsibilities around a bit more - that would be a great idea! Someone in charge of chants/songs etc. would be good - and if Glenn doesn't want to keep being the chant leader during the matches, but would rather be a supporting drummer, we could get someone to do that as well. Although, now with the RCB dynamic, it may be best if Glenn stayed there - at least for this year.

The Cup has does a tremendous job with flags, perhaps he should have some sort of official responsibility or title, like "flag guy" or something. Do we have an official "coat of arms" or symbol or spread other than the normal Loyalist crown? If not, and if that's something we would want, perhaps he could help design it. Just a thought.

McKid is the guy for designs.

Perhaps we need to have some of our more vocal Loyalists like myself and Jake closer to Glenn and the drums.

We could probably use official cheer/song leaders.

I nominate you to be an official cheer/song leader/maker guy. All in favor, say "Aye". All opposed, say "Nay".


It looks like the "Aye's" have it. Looks like it's settled then!


Seriously though, you seem to have a gift with verse.

There are probably about 10 Mexican families within a block of me that are all soccer fans. I could go out and talk to them about RSL and invite them to the games. I would even be willing to use my spare ticket (when I have it) to take them to the games. Would the F.O. be willing to give us tickets to bring a neighbor to the game? I don't see a lot of racial diversity in the Loyalists. I could be wrong. I'd love to have more Latin neighbors involved.

That's all for now. Everything else ROCKS!!

I know that one of the brothers Enger had volunteered to run back and forth in the north end to stir them up... I thought and still think that is a good idea. If the one that volunteered still wants to do it. I am sure all those kids in the north end would love it.

I have been snapping pictures since the begining and have always made my shots available to the Loyalists for the website.
I know Ethan has been busy but none of my shots have been used.
I know they are good enough.
The offer still stands...

I am available for odd activities on game day, however, I cannot grill so i don't volunteer for that. I have to be in position on the field before player intros so i can't help clean up.
I have been trying to work the tailgate and welcome everyone, I can keep doing that unless you lot have something else for me to do...

I want to help too...

I'm not very good with coming up with ideas, but I'm anywhere you want me to be. Hiba at your service.
