The Loyalists

Between the expansion announcement and the name unveiling a supporters group was formed. On July 23, seven soccer fans and my wife gathered around a table at a Salt Lake restaurant to lay the ground work of establishing a formal group of supporters. The meeting was even attended by James Edward the local soccer writer for the Deseret Morning News.

At a later meeting it was decided that the group would call themselves the Loyalists. Soon after the decision RSL general manager Steve Pastorino was quoted to say, "Here's to the Loyalists." And with that, the name stuck. Look for the Loyalists at every home game in the northeast corner, sections 30 and 32. They are a friendly group who have a passion for being heard and supporting Real. Feel free to join them if you share the same feelings. To find out more about the Loyalists visit their website.
