Triangle Soccer Fanatics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triangle Soccer Fanatics is a soccer supporters club based in Cary, North Carolina. The club is an independent fan club supporting Carolina RailHawks F.C. of the USL First Division as well as promoting soccer in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill areas.
The group was founded by W. Jarrett Campbell in late 2002 as an internet mailing list attempting to connect soccer fans in the Triangle area of North Carolina for social activities. As membership grew, the mailing list spawned a daily online news service covering all manner of soccer in the local region. When it was announced in late January 2006 that a USL First Division professional team would be locating in Cary, the membership decided to transform the evolving network of online soccer supporters into a full-fledged supporters club for the Carolina RailHawks.
The group is modeled after various Ultras groups in the United States such as the Screaming Eagles, Section 8 Chicago, and Sam's Army. The club members sit together in The 204 Depot (Section 204 of SAS Soccer Park's main stadium) for the RailHawks matches.
