John Cunningham Great Quotations

We had a very good meet. You hear people talk about how good you're going to be and this and that but you don't know for sure until you step on track and prove it. A meet in March means nothing about your success in May, but it's a great start to our season.

Today was a remarkable first day of ticket sales. We've made considerable strides over the last two years, and, coming off our strongest preseason ticket sales effort to date, we are confident that today is a great indicator of another year of substantial growth.

This game will be a great start to the 2006 season, and it will be a unique opportunity for fans to get an early look at the Beavers as they approach their home opener on April 6.

As we set out to find the ideal candidate to fill this very important position with the Timbers, it became clear to us that Chris was the best person to not only continue the great things we've been able to accomplish during the team's first five seasons, but to take the franchise to new levels in a number of areas. We're completely confident that Chris will do great things for the Timbers and soccer in Portland.

Not bad for a first two miles of the season. She ran a great race.

It's with great excitement that we welcome Chris to the Timbers organization today. He is very passionate about the game of soccer and offers a great deal of experience in all of the areas we were looking for in a new coach and general manager.

This is a great testament to the support you are sharing.
