We have been getting a lot of messages from people who would like to know more about the chants sung at Portland Timbers matches. So I figured we would put together a quick guide to the chants.

First off the latest Timbers Army Chant Sheet can be downloaded and printed out here.

If you don’t have a printer don’t worry you can always pick up the chant sheet at the Timbers match at Jeld Wen Field. Timbers Army volunteers run an informational table in the concourse of each match near the entrance to section 107. There you can ask questions and pick up a free chant sheet. The table is staffed by friendly volunteers before the match, at halftime and post match to help you.

The Timbers Army Trailer, better known as the Sunshine Trailer has met its early demise. The Sunshine Trailer was normally parked on 20th & SW Morrison on game days and staffed with kind volunteers selling the finest Timbers Army gear. Unfortunately, on its way to the stadium last Saturday the trailer went kaput and is now no longer with us. Many people volunteered many hours to make the Sunshine Trailer a game day fixture. The trailer was old and it was known that it would someday need to be replaced, but hopes were it would last the rest of this season.
