Becoming official
Mike Quarino, Vice President of Ticket Sales and Fan Relations for the Union, talks about what it takes to become an officially recognized supporters group; namely, all of the hard work and less glamorous things that the Sons of Ben do so well like being truly organized. He also says the club is “all for re-classing more sections into a ‘standing section'” if the demand is there.

The other supporters group: The Bridge Crew
On the other side of PPL Park from the River End is the Bridge Crew, located in an area filled with families and youth soccer clubs. This means different standards of conduct prevail than you might find in more boisterous areas of the park and informs a mission statement that emphasizes positive, sportsman-like behavior. But that doesn’t mean they love the Union any less.

Reading is the new Akron
That four Reading United alumni were selected in the SuperDraft only underscores that coach Brendan Burke has gotten things right. While only one made it to the Union this time around, in the long run, such success can only bode well.
