OBXBILLSFAN Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I lived there years ago, and am now about 4 hours away. Might get up to watch an away game with a new backers club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you do that, you SHOULD....and note I say SHOULD....be able to "associate" with a chapter. Unfortunately, I can't do that. Plus, I can't find the listings of clubs ANYWHERE on that site.

The best thing would be to call them. How to Register a chapter:1. After registering as an individual member the main "contact" or "President" must contact Aaron Schmitt (716-648-1800 x8647) or Rachel Pitillo (716-648-1800 x8629) to create a new chapter. 2. The person who contacts us will then be made the "contact" or "President" of the new club. 3. The "contact" or "President" then must Login to the Bills Backers Section. 4. To make changes to your Chapter Listing, Click "Edit Chapter Info" 5. To approve/disapprove members to your club, Click "Edit Chapter Info", Click "Members", then individually grant access as per your discretion.

aussiew Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I believe that Denny Lynch is the contact man at the Ralph for this You're right. He's the one to call to start a group. I'm already registered as a Bills Backer individually, but I'm trying to start a Bills Backers group in North Dallas. Now, if only we could get Mr. Lynch to return calls......

THere is a great Bills bar in Herndon called Jimmy's (even though it was filled with flutopians when I was there in 1999). 359024[/snapback] Jimmy's is a great bar; I am the co-president of the chapter. As co-president I have been approving a lot of memberships recently; I am not sure what advantage being a member is but people keep filing requests. Fredricksburg to Herndon is quite a haul, almost 60 miles. You're right. He's the one to call to start a group. I'm already registered as a Bills Backer individually, but I'm trying to start a Bills Backers group in North Dallas. Now, if only we could get Mr. Lynch to return calls...... 359039[/snapback] Regarding Denny try e-mailing me. He has responded every time I sent a request or a note.

You'd have much more success there. We met for the Bengals - Bills game last year, and had 23 Bills fans there, without much coordination. We've also met countless other Bills fans here, especially in the pre-season when we all go to Mulligan's who carry the Bills games. I'm thinking it would be very easy to get AT LEAST 20 Bills bretheren together weekly in Richmond. Especially for away games. Alot of us here actually have season tickets.

Actually, maybe we can make a road trip down your way now and then, but I really cannot dedicate two and a half hours to drive time each Sunday.

What Fredericksburg do you live in? lol Fredericksburg is like 45 miles from Richmond. We would not be doing anything in downtown Richmond, but mostl likely in a suburb. But anyway, I hear ya. I wish I could start a chapter here, but I'll miss too many Sundays because I make to alot of home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-95 connects both. But, anyway, that has nothing to do with this. Anyway, hope you guys have luck up there in starting a new backer club. Nothing like watching the games with other Bills fans!!!
