So quite a big game for the US men tonight right in the heart of Tennessee at the LP field in Nashville.

 

Now I know it is a school night and Soccer is not that huge a sport in the State, but to be honest the marketing for the game has been non-existent. I would imagine there would be a good size crowd there maybe more than at US v Morocco a couple of years ago (26,000 +), but unless you are in the soccer 'community' most people have no idea the game is even on tonight in the local area.

 

Have US Soccer made the decision to just go after what they have and not try to entice any more 'non' soccer fans, how has the game been advertised / spotlighted in your local media?

 

p.s. Anybody going tonight?

Definitely going and have also seen ads in the evening the past few weeks or so on the local stations in the evenings and certainly lots of email notices.

But why play on a WEDNESDAY night? Makes travel pretty hard for those who can't take time off from work. A Friday night game would have gotten much more attendance.

 

I just don't think US soccer plans things around their fans. I think they could use some positive P.R. Right now, with the abysmal result from the last World Cup, they could use all the good public relation that they can get.

 

Maybe I am alone in feeling this, but they certainly haven't done a good job in getting a good fan base outside of the die hard fans that would have gone regardless.

I know in the past they have mostly played these games on wednesday nights, it might something to do with ESPN.

      My favorite game of the 1980'S, that's why I remember it so well.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      Why would the tax payers be responsible for paying for only a coach? In recent years with all the theft from various programs in schools from different programs with booster clubs (not just sports) the State of TN has made alot of rules surrounding booster clubs and how they handle money.  I have two documents to review, 1 is 40 pages from the state comptroller and the other is 37 pages from my district, so I can consider starting a booster club for my middle school program. It has been too much trouble in the past for the other coaches.  There is no way there needs to be an adult in the school building for 7 hours a day with no responsibilities except coaching.

      The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!

      Boyd could actually be a grade below what he is now, but his parents didn't see the need to "redshirt" him like the other city school down the road would have pushed for....
