Three flounder fans watched frodo in green street hooligans and decided that jumping a guy in downtown shittle is cool. This is so lame, its unbelievable! To the idiot supporters of any club, ours included, that think violence is cool, or some how part of the match day experience, join UFC, go to another continent or do a cobain. Better yet do all three! The Shittle Times

PGE Park Big Update

107ist - The Timbers Army Independent Supporters' Trust

Anyone who is a Timbers fan and cheers for the team can call themselves a part of the Timbers Army, but there is an official side to the Timbers Army as well, the 107 Independent Supporters' Trust. 107ist holds elections, votes on issues, coordinates Timbers Army events and works with Portland Timbers management. This is a new venture, for the Timbers Army, but not uncommon amongst big clubs around the world. Independent supporters trusts, help negotiate the common goals between supporters and the the ownership of the club.

The group is "open to anyone who loves soccer, the Timbers, Portland, and, especially, the combination of the three", and you can become a member for a $20 fee. Membership includes benefits including first dibs on road trip transportation, special 107ist merchandise, and access to member-only events. The fee also helps support Tifo efforts, flags and whatever else it takes to make Timber's games the the best experience in North America. Interested, learn more at the links below, passionate enough, run for election to the board.
