Martin’s article on Halifax Wanderers fan culture in the last DARBY was my favourite of the whole issue, really excited to see he’s linking up with them again!
A fun project I'm glad to finally be able to share: Wrote a cover story on @canadasocceren.bsky.social's Jacob Shaffelburg for the upcoming issue of DARBY Magazine. #CanMNT

This shouldn’t be the story of Valour FC.
But Wade Miller and WFC didn’t care, they let the club spiral without giving even half a look.
Valour’s sad demise should be attributed to nobody but Miller and Co.

Just went back and looked at the attendances that first season for Valour wow - I forgot how well attended they were. Really shows how the decline and neglect from the ownership to let that dwindle away. Here’s a pic with RRR at Valour’s 3rd home game against Forge in 2019.

🆕 The Whitecaps have become accustomed to playoff pain against LAFC.
But with a new talisman in Thomas Müller and his bold talk, and different coach, Vancouver believes they can climb the hump.
