There was some friendly banter between Portland & Seattle fans yesterday, whether a whack of Seattle fans would travel down for this game to cheer against the Timbers.

Incredibley classy by everyone involved in making this happen. Particulary the supports who'll attend. The idea of being able to do this infront of a flag waving, singing crowd made me teary eyed with happiness for this young boy.

One of the comments I read said the Timbers Army are all in for this - basically they are coming out in numbers. Very cool...

Fair play by both the club and the Timbers Army for making this happen.

3,000 fans showed up. Green Machine won 10-9 and Atticus scored 4 goals including the game winner

More on Atticus's day

Apparently this is getting a lot of MSM attention.

That made my day.

Look for Will Johnson in the background near the end of the video (6:27) wearing Atticus's jersey. video (http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2013/05/how-portland-timbers-made-cancer-stricken-8-year-olds-wish-come-true) funny.

Quote from Will Johnson “I’ve actually never asked anyone to trade jerseys, so that was probably the first and only time in my career I’ll ask for somebody’s jersey," Johnson said after the match. "I’m quite proud to own his jersey.”

Quote from Atticus “Usually kids just choose to go to Disneyland with their family or getting something," Atticus explained. "I chose something that lots of people could do."

Amazing. Pure class all around. If ever there was an opportunity to do something like that at BMO, I'd like to be a part of it.

I have shown this to at least a dozen people.

I love Portland, toss up between them and DC as my second team. If Dero, Jacovic and Porter weren't there I probably would be behind the Timbers.

Question, if tfc did this would you show up?

Truly is classy.

Not to distract this thread, but Portland does it right by the fans too.

"We're well aware of organizations that don't keep their eye on the ball."
