Bills Backers changes for 2008 |

Believe it or not, the 2008 season will be the 13th year of Bills football at The Harp. While a lot has changed since the summer of 1996, our Bills Backers club has, for the most part, remained the same. This year, though, we will be changing things up a little. Some of you may be aware that Alison moved back to Buffalo earlier this year, and she truly will be missed. She can't be replaced, but we've added two new members to our Executive Commitee, Chris Salemi and Matt Irvine. Neither of these guys are strangers, since they've been fixtures in the lower bar for a number of years now, but stop by and say hello -- and thanks! -- to Chris and Matt. Of course, Jeff and George will be returning for another year, too. Don't be too disappointed, ok? The Executive Committee's primary role on game days is to serve as a liason between you (the fans) and the management of the Harp. If you have comments, concerns or questions during a game day, you should seek out Jeff, George, Chris or Matt. Please do not approach Harp staff yourself -- chances are, one of us can handle your issue, or we will work on your behalf to resolve the situation. By keeping things streamlined we can all enjoy a better gameday experience. We are also making a few changes to the administration of the club. Since we founded the club in 1991, we've been asking for $10 annual dues from our members. With everything done on email these days, the extra membership information has lost its importance (and it's not a trivial task to maintain the list, either). In short, we're eliminating the annual membership dues; going forward, we'll only be maintaining the email list. We encourage everyone to sign up for the email list on our website, http://www.bostonbillsbackers.com. One way we will replace the annual dues in our budget is with an occasional 50-50 "squares" game. We'll have more details as Opening Day gets closer, but it's sure to be an exciting addition to the gameday experience. Enjoy the rest of the preseason and we'll see you on September 7th!

Preseason starts this Saturday |

Are you ready for some football? The Bills get back on the field in actual game action (well, as "actual" as the preseason can be!) this Saturday night, when they visit the Redskins. Saturday's game will be broadcast live on the NFL network starting at 7 pm. As per our pre-season game policy, we cannot guarantee that the Harp will have the game on. Yes, they do have the NFL Network, but on Saturday nights the music/DJ starts at 8 pm, so there won't be sound. That said, there will be a Backers contingent at the Sports Depot in Allston on Saturday night. You can find directions at their website, www.sportsdepotboston.com. The NFL Network will be broadcasting each Bills preseason game, either live or on tape delay. Here's the schedule: - Bills at Redskins -- Live: Saturday August 9, 7:00 pm; Tape Delay Monday, August 11, 4:00 am
- Steelers at Bills in Toronto -- Tape Delay: Saturday August 16, 12:00 midnight and 9:00 am; Tuesday August 19, 9:00 am
- Bills at Colts -- Live: Sunday, August 24, 8:00 pm; Tape Delay: Tuesday, August 26, 3:30 pm; Wednesday, August 27, 6:00 am
- Lions at Bills -- Tape Delay: Saturday, August 30, 5:00 am and Sunday, August 31, 4:00 am.
Get those Tivo's ready, get some Blue chillin' in the fridge and get ready for football season. It's training camp for us fans, too!
