The Fighting Leslies gang is great. They're a drinking club and don't have memberships but I believe they're going to start selling shirts and other merch fairly soon.
We paid for the tifo. I have the literal receipts. Which makes it a good time to put in a plug for joining a supporters group if you dig the atmosphere, even if you never plan to sit in the section.

The only other game he’s played where he’s gotten many minutes was the one where Ring was out with a red. Having 17 healthy field players this week will do that.
Why they haven’t brought in a couple more journeymen to fill minutes is beyond me.
Club announces that they will have season ticket holder gifts at the watch party on the 12th. No info on how people will get them if they don’t go.
Also got eyes on the beer list in Q2 club and there are a few local/craft options that don’t seem to be available anywhere else.
I’d expect a private parking situation similar to Texas/OU. Think the businesses on the Delta/Denton/Donley loop will be prime locations but you’ll have to walk up to Braker to get across the track.
If you’re downtown after work tomorrow, Adrian Healey and a couple goobers with a podcast are doing a live show:

Second yellow is an automatic red. He was saying it shouldn't have been a yellow. Which is dumb, because there were at least three tackles Ring made that could have been yellows in the second half and the ref had just told him to cut it out.
Also, the first red of Ring's MLS career. Could be pretty tricky for Lil Sebastian vs LA Galaxy this week.
Believe it’s five subs, up from three due to the pandemic. But only at three points in the game, which is why several came on at once during the first substitution.
I’m really high on Stuver. He has a command of the system and playing the ball out of the back, which is what Josh wants. Second in the league in saves since he’s often under pressure. Not bad at all for a journeyman who nobody expected to start.
That was one hell of a weekend. My voice is shot but it was totally worth everything. Also great that all the ATXFC goals were scored in our end and that the players celebrated with us.
Let's take it to the last place Loons this weekend!
Yeah. He has a great quote in the press conference last week. He talked about being smaller than your traditional striker but also noted that he’s bigger than Josef Martinez.
The corner this shot is from is also a super interesting part of the building. I’ve heard that it’s going to be a place to hang and drink a beer from the bar behind it, an area where they are selling standing room tickets, a spot that can be reserved for a group or some combination of the three.
