Next year around this time, we will be watching very closely, and wondering what players our coach and GM are targeting in the expansion draft. It is hard to believe after 13 seasons wandering in the soccer-less wilderness, that next year’s MLS season is the final one without a Philadelphia team. As we head toward a late November 2009 expansion draft, many of us are still wondering what our team brand will be.

Dear Members, Brothers, and Fellow Soccer Fans,
Happy Founders’ Day!
Wow. A little over a year ago, a handful of us got together and decided to take advantage of the momentum that the Rowan possibility had brought to our market. We already had a lobbying group in place, but we wanted something that would be more inclusive and had permanence about it. So we adopted a name that our small group liked, bought the website, got to work on designing a logo, and hoped we’d reach 100 members.

The Sons of Ben came together to donate a total of 561 pounds of food and $1,500 in cash to the Bernadine Center in Chester, PA. The Honorable Wendell N. Butler Jr., Mayor of Chester, was on hand for the presentation. The Bernadine Center is experiencing a shortage of food this holiday season and we are proud to help them try and attain their goals. We hope this is the first step in a long-term relationship in our efforts to do more for Chester then simply coming down on game day.
