Here are my Best XI. If you have any other ideas on to spread the word of the Bring Soccer to New York City petition please leave them in the comments area, so that others can use them. We are all in this together!
XI: Add the direct petition address to your email and forum signatures:
http://www.petitiononline.com/NYCFC/petition.html
X: At the bottom of the petition page you will find links to various social networking sites. So “Facebook” it!
IX: Do you have a website or a MySpace page? Here is the HTML code for the petition counter:
<iframe width='102' height='36' src='http://www.petitiononline.com/signatures.php?petition=NYCFC' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'></iframe>
VIII: Send out the petition to people on your email address book. It would help to explain why it is important to you.
VII: Let’s be honest, XMas is usually a slow time at work. Why not organize a petition drive during your lunch hour? Set up your work computer to the petition site and ask coworkers to sign it.
VI: Do not ignore out-of-towners, Red Bull fans, non-soccer loves and other individuals that you would think would not be interested. Look at the signatures that we already have and you will already find a diverse group of people.
V: Guys, let the ladies know. I am going to have to post about this soon, but soccer is definitely a sport that transcends gender. And ladies, we both know that you control the world, so getting a few sigs should not be that difficult.
IV: The petition link can be hard to remember. Keep it simple. When tell people orally about the petition or not being able to link it directly send potential siners to this blog. The petition link will remain on top of the left sidebar, so it will be hard to miss. Use either NewYorkCityFC.net (”New York City FC dotNet”) or NYCFC.net (”NYC FC dotNet”)
III: There are places that you can post tear-off ads. Make your own flyers with like tear-off slips with the petition URL. MS Word has a few templates online. Locations to post flyers include laundry mats, libraries and even doggie daycares. There are places you already patronize!
II: Remember that all you need is a email address and a computer. Whenever you have internet access and someone that has not signed the petition, you have a potential signature. It is that easy.
I: Tell your friends, family, and even strangers in person. Studies show that there is no better advertising than word-of-mouth. TV ads, newspaper articles, and other forms of media pale in comparison. Whether it is at the water cooler or over Christmas dinner, nothing creates a buzz like interpersonal communication. The more people hear something from a trusted source the more of an impact it will make. So if you want a New York FC, say it loud and say it proud!

In my opinion the best solution should be to distribute thousands of leaflets in all NYC and above all in the subways.
Kubah, because some people who have sign the petition, in their comments have said that they don’t wish a second NY soccer team ?
dont worry nyc those are only a few who like to rain on peoples parades. the vast majority on the petition want the team. great ideas Kubah,nothing like good ole manpower.
