The Travis 250

James Hope on 5 March 2010 in Crocketteers.com, Recruitment, San Antonio

Will you stand with me?

On March 5, 1836, standing inside the Alamo, Colonel William B. Travis drew a line in the sand asking all his men if they were willing to die for the cause. Each and every man but one chose to stand and fight. While the facts surrounding the siege of the Alamo continue to be analyzed and debated, there is no doubt about what the battle came to symbolize – a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds — a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. For this reason the Alamo remains hallowed ground and the Shrine of Texas Liberty. The words “Remember the Alamo” are still spoken today.

174 years ago has passed on by and today, we as soccer fans in San Antonio face a different challenge; a challenge to bring and support a professional soccer team which is only as strong as the group that supports them. Therefore, as members of the Crocketteers I ask you to take the next step; join me as a member of the Travis 250.

This exclusive group will be the charter members of the Crocketteers who will represent the nearly 250 people who died during the “thirteen days of glory” back in 1836. As a member of the Travis 250 you will forever be a part of the original Crocketteers. No additional members will be added beyond the first 250.

For only $25 you can become a part of the Travis 250 and will receive a Crocketteers scarf, a membership card denoting you as a member of the Travis 250, along with other privileges in the future such as advanced ticket pre-sales, “meet and greets” with team players and staff, discounts on merchandise, etc. (contingent on team commitments and obligations to be determined upon securing of a franchise).

But most importantly you will be one of the original 250 who paved the way for professional soccer to come to San Antonio. The Alamo defenders remind us why people fight for a cause.

It’s time for San Antonio soccer fans to take up this cause to bring and support a pro soccer team. The line in the sand has been drawn. Will you stand with me?

REMEMBER THE ALAMO…. VICTORY OR DEATH.
