Schellas is pretty much telling it like it is. I love the Inferno, but sadly, size-wise the number of passionate fans we have is a lot smaller than other clubs like Columbus, DC United, or Toronto. We’ve discussed the reasons (location of PHP, high gas costs, Dallas being an NFL town), but the bottom line is that FC Dallas needs to find a way to increase attendance and encourage their fans to be loud. Not vulgar, mind you, just loud. It seems like fans here are almost too shy or too nice to get up and yell or cheer a little

Your kidding right? How about WINNING? How about fielding a team that has a flipping chance to win? Before the bus driver got here this team wasnt that bad. Sure it was slumping a bit but the pieces were there. Then this numpty comes along and there is no team left. You have people that should be starting ( i.e. Oduro, Dax) languishing on the bench. You have people playing out of position….Serioux…..when people on the bench should be playing.

There isnt a huge base for soccer in this town. But unfortunately for the Bus Driver they are pretty knowledgeable about the sport.

So dont agree with a moron who blames fans for his short comings…

Seeing Guarda on the roster makes me sick. Bobby your the true hero of this FC Dallas. Kenny go bring home the boot. Hunt family if you want fans get rid of you know who make a wining team and they will come. Quit putting games at 2:00 pm in Aug. Lets have some Sat. evening games. Oh well no matterm what i will be there to the end.

Easy – want some fans? Win and look good doing it. I can go see SMU if i want to see a bunch of guys lose and look bad.

SH is a rookie. I do give him credit for actually talking though despite whether I agree with it or not.

Okay, more fans? First, we do have to win consistently unless you are in a sports starved town… definitely not DFW. Second, forget the soccer mom marketing. Just give them tickets. Try dropping some free tickets at college or university. Third, QUIT SCHEDULING GAMES AT 2 P.M. ON A SUNDAY IN AUGUST IN NORTH TEXAS! Play the international schedule. Once DART light rail runs to Frisco… that would rule.

Nice work as always Buzz. Sometimes I think your site holds this core fanbase together not the FC Dallas Front Office or FCD website. I wouldn’t mind seeing your google analytics. I moved from DFW to Gulf Breeze (Pensacola), FL a year ago and you keep me in touch with FC Dallas. I have been a fan over a decade now.

All hail Bobby Rhine! Thank you for service and loyalty!

Clark was acquired from the Metros, not drafted.

Otherwise another great and insightful piece.

It’s always appreciated!

If you want SH gone just stop coming to the park. If you do come put a bag over your head with a comment about SH and his soccer brain. Management will get upset but will make a change if the fans revolt.
