    Love this podcast. Terrific tactical analysis of the games with no punches pulled at all opinionwise, which is exactly what fan media should be. Recent addition of Tides coverage is terrific as well!

Episode 271: New Stadium Proposal with Stephen Adams and Matt Stickland
Q: What is the core financial model behind the proposal and its risk to public land?

Farewell Leo

Spencer describes Leo as an enigmatic, energetic figure who led chants, energized the crowd, and created a strong sense of identity within the supporters, and notes that his departure leaves a big hole in the group.
Episode 249: New Wanderers Assistant Coach, Daryl Fordyce!
Q: What's the biggest challenge transitioning from player to coach?
The key is translating my on-field experiences into coaching methods, maintaining leadership, and learning to guide players without the ability to react physically like a player.

Q: How do you see your philosophy aligning with Vanni's approach?
