One year after meeting Don Garber, South Florida has answered his call.

Following you will find pictures and fan video taken during the meeting with MLS Commissioner Don Garber on January 8, 2011. None of the video is professional so bear with us. The video does give you a little taste of what it was like to be there.
If you haven't read all the progress made in South Florida be sure to check out www.miamiultras.com. 

I've seen much criticism out there from fans from other cities concerning the number of fans that showed up to the event. MLS asked us to only take 60 people.




Part 1 - Here Dan Courtemanche starts off the festivities, hands it over to the Miami Ultras President Pieter Brown who introduces the Miami Ultras video presentation. (You can see the video in the previous blog post below).


Part 2 - Uncle Ed reads a Fan letter to Don Garber. Pieter Brown and Miami Ultras Vice President Julio Caballero give Don Garber a Miami Ultras Scarf. Don Garber proceeds to talk to all in attendance about MLS. (Video not filmed very well but you can hear most of Don Garbers views prior to the Q & A)


End - Final moments of the meeting.

Strikers players on the move...

As Striker Liker Christopher Walsh put it on the Ultras facebook page "The blood letting continues..." Yes, not long ago Coach Shore assured the fans on Miami Ultras Alive #30 (see minute 21) that he expected to keep the majority of his ALMOST championship team.
We've already seen a number of Strikers players packing their bags and moving to other teams. The latest was fan favorite Martyn Lancaster, who will be playing for the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks in 2012. Lancaster was the winner of the latest fan voted Ultras MVP award. Martyn had become a symbol of the team. Fans identified with him as he was all heart on the field. He went as far as meeting with the Ultras after almost every game. He will be missed.
Other players the Strikers are losing include midfielder Bryan Arguez who is moving to the Montreal Impact, not to mention Gerson Mayen, who joins him (Gerson was on loan this past season from Chivas USA). Veteran Eduardo "Chaco" Coudet who we know will not return. But most important is the almost certain loss of team scoring leader Brian Shriver who is currently on trial with Swedish side Åtvidaberg AFF.
It seems like the off season will give us a lot to talk about.

Strikers lose first game of the NASL Championship series. Appear on CBS 4 Sports Zone.

This past Saturday the Fort Lauderdale Strikers flew up to Minnesota to play the first leg of the NASL Div2 Championship versus the NSC Minnesota Stars.
Unfortunetly the Strikers lost 3-1. It was a heart breaker to see the team play timidly compared to their past few playoff games. Was it the cold weather up North? Was it lack of heart? I think it just wasn't our day.
What we do know is that now they come back to the heat of South Florida with a 2 goal deficit. Will the boys be able to defend the Fort? I think they can! Now our mission as Striker Likers is to support this team and fill up the "Mecca". We can do it! Be sure to tell everyone to get out there to Lockhart Stadium this Saturday Oct 29, 2011 at 7:30PM.

Strikers lose in Tampa but get ready for playoffs. Want to be Rowdies have unoriginal TIFO.

Strikers fans made the trip to St Pete to support their team only to be disappointed by a 2-0 loss. The Strikers played well, dominating certain moments of the game but the turning point was the red card given to Cristian Arrieta. It was enough to change the tide and give Tampa an advantage that proved too much for the Red & Gold.

Tampa supporters continue to use the Rowdies name in vain so the Striker fans came up with the TIFO in the picture to the right to remind them that they are not the Rowdies.

You can also see the video:


Unoriginal Tampa Fans
One of the things that was brought to our attention while we were in Tampa was the TIFO made by Ralph's Mob. They are so unoriginal that they copied a TIFO made by the Timbers Army!
Check out the comparison and you be the judge:

Martyn Lancaster named 2011 player of the year by the fans. Strikers tie Atlanta.

The Strikers could have wrapped up the game versus the Atlanta Silverbacks in the first 45 minutes of their game this past Saturday at Lockhart stadium. They had a myriad of shots and chances, yet their lousy aim thwarted each effort. The second half was a whole different story as Atlanta nearly beat the Strikers with a 90th minute goal. Over 4600 people showed up to see lady luck and father time on our side as the Strikers tied it in stoppage time! Brian Shriver has been on fire as of late with his brilliant playing and now stands along with Eduardo "Chacho" Coudet as the teams scoring leaders with 6 goal this season.

Martyn Lancaster named 2011 player of the year
Fort Lauderdale Strikers Defender Martyn Lancaster was elected by the Miami Ultras Supporters group and the fans as the 2011 player of the year during the Strikers vs Atlanta game.
Martyn has played the most minutes for the team this year, scoring a goal and leading by example. Perhaps Martyn's edge on the other players is the fact that he was always accesible to the fans. Every game, win or lose he would come out to meet the fans in the parking lot for a few minutes. While other players started to do this as well, it was Martyn who was the pioneer, so to speak, since last year.
Congrats to a true hero, who bleed Fort lauderdale Strikers Red and Gold. 'Sir' Martyn Lancaster 2011 Ultras player of the year!
here is a video of Ultras President Pieter Brown awarding the glorified Ultras Beer mug:



Following are pictures and videos taken during the final home game of the regular
season between the Atlanta Silverbacks and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers:
