Here we are, 4 months away from the NY trip down to Philly, and your front office is already poking the angry, drunken, "classless" beast that is NY's hardcore fanbase.
"[PPL Park] will be a much more unified experience for the fan than Red Bull Arena," Union president Tom Veit said. "I think here, the fan will really feel part of things."
Tom Veit: The same jackass who had this to say in April after Philly's first trip to Red Bull Arena:
"When you really looked at it, it looked like our supporters' club was a lot larger than their supporters' club," Veit said. "So much so, that there was a joke going where we asked the Sons of Ben not to be so loud, because they were drowning out their fan club."Now lets take a look back at my first impressions of the PU fanabase after that game.
Awe-inspiring, weren't they?
There's a terrible irony to your boasts, Mr. Veit. Your shit-talk about the superiority of your fans and stadium don't quite match up with the fact that you only allocated 150 tickets to traveling New York supporters for the October match in your house. One hundred and fifty. What are you afraid of? I'm almost certain Red Bull offered the SoBs 500+. Do you secretly feel threatened? Well you should. We sold those in 20min. Literally. And got our hands on a few hundred more. You're in trouble.
Mr. Veit...
I don't think you understand how little fuel it takes to ignite us as a group.
I don't think you appreciate how much joy and personal pleasure we're going to take from ripping the SoB's collective heart out in their own house.
I don't think you understand just how much better we are man-for-man than your amateur supporters (ask DC how a handful of us shouted them down at RFK in May).
I don't think you understand the levels we'll go to to thoroughly embarass your fans, club and franchise on live television.
New York fans are vindictive with amazingly long memories (ask Wynalda).
Maybe Tom Veit should be more like the fans of his franchise and just stay quiet.
