Barry writes:It's that time of year again! New arrivals, photo ops, players in drag - the annual Supporter Thanks Day took place at the sprawling Twin Messe exhibition centre this afternoon. As much as all the various things to do, it was a chance to bump into all those faces behind the goal I'd not seen for a while. The season can't start soon enough!
Just shy of 6000 people turned out for a classic afternoon of S-Pulse related fun and occasional sillyness. I'm tired after another late one watching Japan claim the crown of Asian Kings, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. To have a look at 2009 and 2010's Thanks Days just click.

Have you seen 岡崎慎司選手? Somehow I can sense 岩下敬輔選手 is a very easy going dude, I really wanna visit Shizuoka. Good picture with the cheer leader, lucky guy!
Haha, thanks! I had to line up for 15 minutes - it was a very popular photo opportunity! :-D
Sadly Okazaki is already off on his overseas adventure so wasn't around to say goodbye, although I saw him at last year's event. No picture, though. :(
Sad to be Okazaki gone, but how come the team still including him on the team player list? While Higuchi will be wearing 22, not number 23?
I think they're just being slow in updating the listings. Okachan signed a contract with his new team yesterday.
Gotta wonder wth hell goes through these peoples heads dresssing up as pole dancers to meet the fans....It doesn`t seem that big a deal (its Japan, etc etc)but if you step back and think about it for a minute....WHAT THE F``K is that!!???
