I'm pretty sure I saw a Hispanic SC in the North section with a banner that read "Real Fuerte". It had Che Guevara and Emiliano Zapata on it too. I love it!

actually read FUERTE REAL. Fuerte = with lots of force!! FWIW

I think we should have a cap between 500 and 1000 so we can stay special, know what I mean?

Just paid my dues. Curious to know what the membership is now?

About 75 due-paying members and 300 wannabes

Prime, didn't I send you the updated roster?

We are up to 125 paid members and about 250 wannabees.

There has been a big rush to sign up since the season started especially around 4/16.

Official total (according to me most accurate counting):
116 paid members and 167 wannabes

...well I'm glad I snuck in under the cap...

Ethan - we got a Florida chapter yet?

...or better yet, can I apply to be a member of the Montana Chapter? I grew up in Kalispell, just left there 3 (long) years ago, would love to be able to fly back for meetings/get togethers and such... 😉

Oh - btw: I'm a new forum member, soon-to-be new Loyalist (paid) member, living in Bradenton, met SoccerPrime at the first ever Real Salt lake match in Bradenton in February.

:waves: hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome MelH!

I was thinking about this "cap" thing earlier today, and I don't think there should be one. The reason being that the stronger we are, and the more organized we are, the more powerful we are. Media outlets, the team, politicians, city leaders, etc., will be forced to deal with us if we need or want something to happen. Not that we've necessarily had any significant run-ins with any of those entities - or even expect to, but there is strength in numbers.

If our "circle of influence" grows to a significant amount (not just members, but people whom the members can influence as well), then perhaps we can help curb potential issues with such things as state or city funding for the new stadium, and things like that.

If you want it remain special, then perhaps, when/if the time comes to break into separate chapters, we could maintain an original, or "parent" chapter - which would include the original group of 50, 100, or 200 members or so. Many of which could act as the leaders for the "child" chapters.

There's my 2 cents...
