After the November 2013 announcement of an outrageous price increase for Supporter, Tobinov vowed to never spend another dime on Hattrick. His decision was a matter of principle. <br />
<br />
The money wasn't the issue; he could afford the $110 annually but because of the arrogance and contempt HT management showed their most loyal customers in their justification for the price increase. Furthermore, the years of broken promises, the lack of development, the PR disasters, and the unwillingness to address the hemorrhaging of users signaled to tobinov that it was time to end his relationship with the game. <br />
<br />
Tobinov had accumulated Supporter time prior to the announcement, so he decided to use his remaining time with the site to bring his teams to their natural conclusion and to wage a vocal protest against the decisions of HT management. In his view, they priced the soul out of Hattrick - and there was no reason to spend time and money on a game if its owners cared so little about the affect of their poor decision-making and their consistent mismanagement of the game.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />

[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

[[Image:Jacques.png|frame| Jacques 10.20.2000 - 12.20.2008]]<br />
On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==End==<br />
On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC decided to end it's decade long campaign.<br />
<br />
For a few months, the Cooperative decided that the team would continue to play to see through promotion back to the IV league; however, the respite was not long. On March 31, 2015, HT-Mattias announced another massive price increase and a new RoadMap™ - the document that followed nearly one month later was grossly vague and HT tried to distance development from the new price increases. <br />
<br />
This was the last straw after eleven years of play.<br />
<br />
So, on May 12, 2015, tobinov announced the end of the campaign and on July 1, 2015 Wetherby Park went dark.<br />
<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression.

<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />

<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==End==<br />
On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC will end it's decade long campaign.<br />
<br />
In the lead up to our final season, tobinov renamed the team to RIP Wetherby Park in protest of the Raise In Prices that is killing the Hattrick we love.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />

<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />

<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />

[[Image:Jacques.png|frame| Jacques 10.20.2000 - 12.20.2008]]<br />
On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==End==<br />
On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC will end it's decade long campaign.<br />
<br />
In the lead up to our final season, tobinov renamed the team to RIP Wetherby Park in protest of the Raise In Prices that is killing the Hattrick we love.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />

Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />

| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
==End==<br />
On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC will end it's decade long campaign.<br />
<br />
In the lead up to our final season, tobinov renamed the team to RIP Wetherby Park in protest of the Raise In Prices that is killing the Hattrick we love.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC will end it's decade long campaign.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />

| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />

On November 20, 2014, Wetherby Park BCFC will end it's decade long campaign.<br />

<br />
== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />

<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />

| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />

Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it.

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />

== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />

| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />

[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

[[Image:Mungo2.png|frame|''' Saint Mungo RFC '''<br> The Robins <br>Established May 2013]]<br />
Saint Mungo RFC {{teamid|242889}} is a working class football cooperative located in Glasgow, Scotland and is the sister club of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] in Tacoma, Washington USA.<br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Robins strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Saint Mungo RFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Saint Mungo Football Cooperative humbly serves beautiful game and works for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
In November of 2012, [[tobinov]] and his wife visited Glasgow. Tobinov immediately fell in love with the place and the people - thus began a desire to make his way back. When HT offered a second team option in early 2013, there was no question in his mind that Glasgow is where the team would be.<br />
<br />
Ok. But why Saint Mungo?<br />
<br />
The story of the robin, the fish, and the tree captivated him - and as the patron saint of Glasgow, [[tobinov]] quickly found kinship with the legend.<br />
Plus, a local brew house, West, had named a stellar pale ale after Saint Mungo. The choice was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
However, dark days fell over the club. When HT announced the outrageous price increase of Supporter in November of 2013, tobinov pledged to never spend another dime on HT as a matter of principle.<br />
<br />
And so it goes.<br />

Saint Mungo RFC {{teamid|242889}} is a working class football cooperative located in Glasgow, Scotland and is the sister club of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] in Tacoma, Washington USA.<br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Robins strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Saint Mungo RFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Saint Mungo Football Cooperative humbly serves beautiful game and works for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
In November of 2012, [[tobinov]] and his wife visited Glasgow. Tobinov immediately fell in love with the place and the people - thus began a desire to make his way back. When HT offered a second team option in early 2013, there was no question in his mind that Glasgow is where the team would be.<br />
<br />
Ok. But why Saint Mungo?<br />
<br />
The story of the robin, the fish, and the tree captivated him - and as the patron saint of Glasgow, [[tobinov]] quickly found kinship with the legend.<br />
Plus, a local brew house, West, had named a stellar pale ale after Saint Mungo. The choice was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
However, dark days fell over the club. When HT announced the outrageous price increase of Supporter in November of 2013, tobinov pledged to never spend another dime on HT as a matter of principle.<br />
<br />
And so it goes.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Tov.png|frame|Tobinov is a controversial person who is calm and honest.]]<br />
Tobinov is the owner of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] and [[Saint Mungo RFC]]. <br />
<br />
== Hattrick ==<br />
Tobinov joined HT in November of 2004 and has been a dedicated player ever since. His original team Birchollow BCFC moved from Ann Arbor, Michigan in July of 2007, re-branding into Wetherby Park located in Tacoma, Washington. He served as Global [[Editor]] for the [[Hattrick Press]] from 2009-2011 as well as being the regional Editor for the USA, Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago. In May of 2013, tobinov founded Saint Mungo RFC in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br />
== Life ==<br />
Tobinov was born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa.<br />
He lives with his lovely wife, and cat Orwell, in Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br />
== Interests ==<br />
Tobinov is happiest spending time with friends, eating good food and drinking good beer, making films and riding his bike.<br />
<br />
Outside of Hattrick, Tobinov enjoys art, books, bicycles, movies, music, politics, travel, and, naturally, football!<br />
<br />
He played goalkeeper for an O30 team in Olympia, WA but an ankle injury suffered in September 2010 effectively ended competitive play. But in 2011, he made a comeback playing in Tacoma for South Puget Sound United with whom he continues to play in the Men's Open Premier League.<br />
<br />
Professionally, Tobinov works for a regional non-profit arts organization in Development managing databases and reporting.<br />
<br />
==Protest==<br />
After the November 2013 announcement of an outrageous price increase for Supporter, Tobinov vowed to never spend another dime on Hattrick. His decision was a matter of principle. <br />
<br />
The money wasn't the issue; he could afford the $110 annually but because of the arrogance and contempt HT management showed their most loyal customers in their justification for the price increase. Furthermore, the years of broken promises, the lack of development, the PR disasters, and the unwillingness to address the hemorrhaging of users signaled to tobinov that it was time to end his relationship with the game. <br />
<br />
Tobinov had accumulated Supporter time prior to the announcement, so he decided to use his remaining time with the site to bring his teams to their natural conclusion and to wage a vocal protest against the decisions of HT management. In his view, they priced the soul out of Hattrick - and there was no reason to spend time and money on a game if its owners cared so little about the affect of their poor decision-making and their consistent mismanagement of the game.<br />

[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />

== Brigade History ==<br />

[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

== Jacques ==<br />
[[Image:Jacques.png|frame| Jacques 10.20.2000 - 12.20.2008]]<br />
On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

[[Image:Mungo2.png|frame|''' Saint Mungo RFC '''<br> The Robins <br>Established May 2013]]<br />
Saint Mungo RFC {{teamid|242889}} is a working class football cooperative located in Glasgow, Scotland and is the sister club of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] in Tacoma, Washington USA.<br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Robins strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Saint Mungo RFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Saint Mungo Football Cooperative humbly serves beautiful game and works for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
In November of 2012, [[tobinov]] and his wife visited Glasgow. Tobinov immediately fell in love with the place and the people - thus began a desire to make his way back. When HT offered a second team option in early 2013, there was no question in his mind that Glasgow is where the team would be.<br />
<br />
Ok. But why Saint Mungo?<br />
<br />
The story of the robin, the fish, and the tree captivated him - and as the patron saint of Glasgow, [[tobinov]] quickly found kinship with the legend.<br />
Plus, a local brew house, West, had named a stellar pale ale after Saint Mungo. The choice was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
However, dark days fell over the club. When HT announced the outrageous price increase of Supporter in November of 2013, tobinov pledged to never spend another dime on HT as a matter of principle.<br />
<br />
And so it goes.<br />

Saint Mungo RFC {{teamid|242889}} is a working class football cooperative located in Glasgow, Scotland and is the sister club of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] in Tacoma, Washington USA.<br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Robins strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Saint Mungo RFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Saint Mungo Football Cooperative humbly serves beautiful game and works for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
In November of 2012, [[tobinov]] and his wife visited Glasgow. Tobinov immediately fell in love with the place and the people - thus began a desire to make his way back. When HT offered a second team option in early 2013, there was no question in his mind that Glasgow is where the team would be.<br />
<br />
Ok. But why Saint Mungo?<br />
<br />
The story of the robin, the fish, and the tree captivated him - and as the patron saint of Glasgow, [[tobinov]] quickly found kinship with the legend.<br />
Plus, a local brew house, West, had named a stellar pale ale after Saint Mungo. The choice was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
However, dark days fell over the club. When HT announced the outrageous price increase of Supporter in November of 2013, tobinov pledged to never spend another dime on HT as a matter of principle.<br />
<br />
And so it goes.<br />

[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

== Jacques ==<br />
[[Image:Jacques.png|frame| Jacques 10.20.2000 - 12.20.2008]]<br />
On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

<br />
== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

[[Image:Jacques.png|frame| Jacques 10.20.2000 - 12.20.2008]]<br />
On December 20, 2008, our beloved Jacques was put to sleep.<br />
The Cooperative felt a heavy loss after his passing and immediately redesigned their kits and kit sponsorship in his honor. <br />
The team dedicated the 37th season to Jacques and Coach Júlio César decreed '''Para sempre Jacqo!''' (Forever Jacqo)<br />
<br />
He is deeply missed, and while the sorrow has subsided, the Black Cats continue to honor our boy, Jacques.<br />

== Greetings from the Front Office ==<br />
[[Image:WpbcfcMtRemblem.gif|frame|''' Wetherby Park BCFC '''<br> The Black Cats <br>Established November 17, 2004]]<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC {{teamid|223401}} is a working class football cooperative located in Tacoma, Washington. <br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Black Cats strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Wetherby Park BCFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Wetherby Park Black Cats Football Cooperative is proud of its aim to promote the beautiful game and work for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
On a bitterly cold November day in 2004, [[tobinov]] was reading a Guardian Unlimited article called "The greatest internet sports games of all time" (it is still a regular feature on the site) and followed a link to an online game they called "Hat-trick" - a few days later, on November 17, tobinov established the football cooperative Birchollow BCFC in Ann Arbor, Michigan and assumed control as the Cooperative Manager.<br />
<br />
The Black Cats had a surprisingly good start and very early on, tobinov adopted a multi-skill approach, slowly building his team around a passable-level passing standard. This provided the Black Cats with a counterattack option which has continued to pay off over time.<br />
<br />
On July 1, 2007, after 8 successful seasons in Ann Arbor, tobinov moved the organization to Tacoma, Washington and renamed it Wetherby Park BCFC where it remains today. <br />
<br />
On May 6, 2013, the cooperative founded it's sister team, [[Saint Mungo RFC]] in Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Wetherby Park Cooperative ==<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC is a (albeit, fictional) cooperative trust, owned and controlled by its membership, with each member being considered an equal in collective ownership. Members consist of two groups: supporters or sponsors. <br />
<br />
Each member is given one vote in the administration of Wetherby Park BCFC, regardless of the amount invested in the cooperative. An elected representative is appointed as the Cooperative Manager to oversee the inner workings of the football cooperative on behalf of all members. The current CM is [[tobinov]].<br />
<br />
All funds received from supporters and sponsors are invested back into the cooperative with a percentage going back into the community in the form of season tickets to any individual or family unable to afford admission as well as sponsorship of Youth and Adult recreational leagues in Tacoma, with an emphasis on recruiting under-served people in the community.<br />
<br />
No supporter or sponsor is allowed to purchase naming rights or a controlling share of the cooperative.<br />
<br />
Sponsors investment must adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by the cooperative trust. Advertising space within Tatlin Field Tacoma, in match programs, and on the team kits of the Wetherby Park recreational leagues are given in exchange for the sponsors investment.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Equal Skill Mandate ==<br />
As a guiding principle, Black Cat players must fit within the skill and wage mandate as established by the cooperative early in the team development. Recognizing the importance multi-skilled should have in the game, tobinov requires a minimum passing level and specifies that no player may exceed the primary skill or wage level of titanic unless trained above it. This approach has kept our relative expenditures down while taking full advantage of the balanced approach to the game. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Tatlin Field Tacoma ==<br />
[[Image:TFT.png|frame|Tatlin Field Tacoma <br> Total capacity: 75750]] <br />
<br />
Wetherby Park BCFC has a spacious, modern home in Tatlin Field Tacoma (right). The stadium is a homage to the great Vladimir Tatlin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Tatlin] who's work tobinov greatly admires. With a total capacity of 75750, it can hold one quarter of the population of the City of Tacoma. Not surprisingly, it has yet to see full capacity.<br />
<br />
{| border="0"<br />
| [[Image:Orwellfeld.png|left]]<br />
| Despite the empty seats, Tatlin Field Tacoma is a considerable improvement from it's old digs, Orwell Field, in Ann Arbor (left). With a capacity of just over 23000, the Black Cats thrived in the rowdy, claustrophobic grounds of Orwell Field - But as is expected in this dollar-driven, performance-based system, success came with new demands and more revenue was required to sustain progression. Naturally, tobinov saw the opportunity to expand stadium capacity when the Cooperative moved to Tacoma, Washington.<br />
<br><br />
Despite it's size, Tatlin Field Tacoma shares many key components with Orwell Field - most importantly, the Kit Factory, printing facilities, and the Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! clubhouse.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Kit Factory, Printing Facilities, Bicycle Workshop ==<br />
Wetherby Park maintains its own Kit Factory at Tatlin Field Tacoma. This allows the organization to control kit sale earnings and invest profits them back into the cooperative, to create local jobs through the hiring and training of seamsters, and it allows the cooperative to avoid investment in companies which manufacture kits offshore.<br />
<br />
There is no direct kit sponsorship. Rather, the cooperative promotes awareness of an organization working for positive change. In honor of Jacques, the cooperative supports the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) [http://www.paws.org/], where he and his brother Orwell were adopted on January 2, 2001.<br />
<br />
In addition to the kit factory, the cooperative operates its own in-house printing facilities. All tickets, match programs, posters and announcements are printed at Tatlin Field Tacoma. A percentage of ticket and program sales cover basic printing costs and staff while a majority is reinvested into the community.<br />
<br />
In 2010, the cooperative identified the need to reduce traffic congestion around Tatlin Field Tacoma and after exploring various mass transit options, decided to open the WPBC Bicycle Workshop for the manufacture and service of our quality commuter bikes, the Black Cat. All players and staff are issued a Black Cat bike to commute into practice/work and Supporters are given discounted rates for purchase.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! ==<br />
<br />
Our Benevolent Punk Revolutionary Klezmer Brigade! love their team, they love to make music, and they love their ale. They are merry and loud, rowdy and proud but always respectful to the away crowd - Hence, the OBPRK Brigade slogan: <br />
<center>'''we welcome all with open arms...and we will send you home drunk.'''</center><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The OBPRK Brigade have a core group of musicians (who obviously lead the festivities) and are supported by the another Wetherby Park institution, Heady Brewery. Heady's brews single batch specialty beer for each weekends match. Supporters "Hit the Heady" for tasty beverages and fresh, homemade meat pies before home matches. It is from Heady's that the OBPRK Brigade begins their march, Keg-Cart in tow, to Tatlin Field Tacoma.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
And of course, as always, the visitors are welcome to join us - the more the merrier! Of course, we will send you home drunk, happy and winless!<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Brigade History ==<br />
[[Image:Brigade.jpg|frame| Black Cat Brigade]]<br />
[[Image:BBCFC.jpg |frame| Birchollow BCFC]]<br />
Before moving to Tacoma, Wetherby Park BCFC was known as Birchollow BCFC and our supporters, the Black Cat Brigade, liked to sing!<br />
When visiting Tatlin Field Tacoma, you will still hear their anthem:<br />

[[Image:Mungo2.png|frame|''' Saint Mungo RFC '''<br> The Robins <br>Established May 2013]]<br />
Saint Mungo RFC {{teamid|242889}} is a working class football cooperative located in Glasgow, Scotland and is the sister club of [[Wetherby Park BCFC]] in Tacoma, Washington USA.<br />
<br><br />
<Br><br />
The Robins strive to be a competitive and successful football team on the pitch, and because Saint Mungo RFC is owned by and operated for the benefit of our supporters, our work continues off the pitch.<br />
<br />
The Saint Mungo Football Cooperative humbly serves beautiful game and works for social-economic justice.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Beginning ==<br />
In November of 2012, [[tobinov]] and his wife visited Glasgow. Tobinov immediately fell in love with the place and the people - thus began a desire to make his way back. When HT offered a second team option in early 2013, there was no question in his mind that Glasgow is where the team would be.<br />
<br />
Ok. But why Saint Mungo?<br />
<br />
MORE SOON<br />
