ALBION//1904

Not every day you’re able to meet someone who played for the Chilean national team 🇨🇱 He scored an amazing free kick against Maradona’s Argentina. Leyenda del Papudo 🇨🇱

Being honest, did not look like that many people. Credit to the Colombians and Brazilians showing up for their NT’s. Others are right about CONCACAF not marketing well though.

The weekend attendance wasn’t that bad but the announced attendance numbers don’t seem accurate.

For a city with an NWSL team, the Women’s Gold Cup attendance at Snapdragon Stadium was awful. Really thought the San Diego NWSL crowd would have stepped up and supported international women’s soccer.

All you’ve ever done is talk shit to us. Fuck off, dork. You got ML$ now, so go enjoy your pretentious, cliqued up soccer “community”. We’ve spoken on NISA’s problems. We care about and respect the players and club staff that have busted their asses to represent San Diego.

Funny how people say we don’t know what others went through. We lost 1904 FC and kept that spirit alive with Albion. People shit on us and gave us no respect for what we’ve done. But when we speak on it, grown ass men get their panties in a twist. San Diego soccer “community”..

The more ML$ news that comes out, the more vindicated we feel. We refuse to sell our souls to ML$, we’re staying loyal to the lower leagues that actually deserve support. MLS is not the be all, end all of soccer in San Diego. Might just be the death of it. ⚪️⚫️🔴🤟

The San Diego soccer “community” never gave us time of day. We got shit for trying to keep the 1904 imagery alive. We got nothing but lip service from majority of people. We got every right to be frustrated with what we’ve experienced.

Fair weather, too. San Diego sports fans only care when the league is shiny and the team is winning. COVID didn’t help 1904, but people abandoned the club for USL/Loyal because it was a shinier product. Ignored the Albion transition. Now it’s all about ML$.

We were excited for MLS at first but over time realized it’s not for us. The lower leagues deserve support much more than MLS.

The San Diego soccer “community” is cliquey. Local “journalists” actively refused to cover the team. We never got the respect we deserved. From 1904 FC to now. Instead of ML$, we’re going to continue doing our thing and support the Albion boys in UPSL while the pro team pauses.

Nuestros pensamientos están con todos los afectados por los incendios en Valparaíso, Viña del Mar y Quilpué. Esperamos que los afectados y sus familias en Chile se encuentren seguros y con buena salud. ⚪️⚫️🔴 x 🇨🇱

With this logic, Bolivia shouldn’t play home games in La Paz.

Looks like there will be a UPSL side again this year! We weren’t 100% sure on that front, so this is good news! It will be great to give the youth side support while the NISA/pro team is on a pause. We welcome all of you to join us in the stands again! ⚪️⚫️🔴🤟

Very proud of the last 2 years, we’ve loved every minute. Us and the club did our best to rep San Diego county. If Albion field a UPSL/NPSL team, you’ll know where to find us. We love the lower leagues and would love to continue banging the drums, pro leagues or not. ⚪️⚫️🔴🤟

All we can do is hope. We’re so proud of the previous teams and grateful to those that put in the work to represent San Diego. If last year was the final season, so be it. We have great memories of being in the stands with all of you. One more season would be a cherry on top.

We’ve been waiting for an official announcement. One more season would be great considering they’d be the only male professional team for SD in 2024. Be great to build on the previous seasons and get more support. Love it if they can get something done, we still have hope.

Good luck, Patti! Great player and even better person, we wish him nothing but success!

One thing to ignore us, but not having Ben Roach as an option is criminal. He’s the best keeper in all San Diego.

Two of us would go to UPSL/NPSL games often to get some footy in before going all in for 1904 FC. If @ALBION_SanDiego left NISA and folded? Probably bang the drums for Albion’s UPSL side, try to keep the spirit alive.
