End Of An Era

Today after 10 years Midnight Riders president Monty Rodrigues will be stepping down.  Although I am not a member of the Midnight Riders I have come to know Monty over the years and he has been one of the best, if not the best examples of a dedicated supporter.  He takes the highs and the lows personally as he should with the amazing amount of work he's put into the Midnight Riders, the New England Revolution and for all supporters Rev Army and Rebellion included. 

This is just as much his team as it is anyone else, and while Monty is not going anywhere the next president of the Riders has very big shoes to fill.  I look forward to seeing Monty right back in his usual spot in the Fort, singing, chanting... and screaming (Monty can get very animated!).  Monty has always been welcoming to myself and my friends whether they are long time supporters or new people that we have brought to games, I'm happy to call Monty my friend and am happy for him that now he get's to go back to being a supporter and letting someone else take up the responsibility.  Enjoy your retirement Monty, thank you for everything you've done for all supporters and for the team.   I owe you a beer and a Cuban cigar.
