What Other Teams You Support: NYCFC
Why You Support NYCFC: I have loved soccer since I was a kid. I tried to like the Red Bulls but realized early on that they weren't the team for me. I was on a message board discussing chants and songs we could sing at games and I was told we couldn't sing anything with NY in it because we had to represent NJ also. Not only did they play in NJ, but I couldn't even show my pride of being a New Yorker at the games. That was it for me. I have been waiting for a real team to represent NY ever since, and I think I found it in NYCFC.
A little bit about yourself: Work is boring and not worth talking about lol. I fell in love with soccer when I was 11 in the 2002 World Cup. In my spare time I love playing Playstation, watching sports, movies, and TV shows.
Why Do You Love the Third Rail: I love showing support for my favorite teams, and the third rail is the best way to do that for NYCFC. I am looking forward to joining my fellow members in the bleachers when the season starts.
The NYCFC put up one hell of a fight vs the New York Red Bulls this past Sunday. Here are a few photos from the game of the loyal fans and all the action!

For some time now we have been looking for an online place for all Third Railers to get together and talk all things soccer in a fun, friendly and most importantly organized manner.
Well everyone, that day is here!
Introducing Third Rail Forums, the best place for members to discuss all things NYCFC and beyond. Third Rail Forums is open to all paid 2015 members (all of you have received an email).
To get started just register on Third Rail Forums with the information below:
From there, you will be approved by one of our board members.
We decided to move to a forum over a Facebook group so that way we can keep things more organized, whether discussing match day activities, events, tickets, and more.
We hope that as many of you will register for the forum as possible as it took a lot of time putting this together. Again, this is for you guys as we are always trying to improve and make the supporter experience as easy as possible.
If you have any questions about the forum or about your 2015 Membership please get in contact Bill Domeika, Director of Membership, he can be reached at thirdrailmembership@gmail.com or with one of our board members.
