The Portland Timbers and Thorns Front Office today told ESPN that the club has permanently ended monthly meetings with the 107 Independent Supporters Trust’s elected board members. According to Caitlin Murray of ESPN, the 107IST elected members will still communicate with the club about game day logistics but the communication with executives has halted.
The front office canceled meetings with the 107IST board following the allegations of Mana Shim and Sinead Farrelly against former Thorns coach Paul Riley. The groups did not meet during the months of October, November, December and January, and now the club has announced that they have ended these meetings permanently.
