The Dirigo Union is back with another Crossover Episode, this time with Andrew Phillips from the Reedy River Riot, supporters of the Greenville Triumph.

Andrew takes us inside the origins of the Riot, their role in Greenville’s soccer community, and what it’s like running a supporters group day-to-day—including what matchdays look like in the Upstate.

We compare notes on the Hearts of Pine’s slow, community-driven build in Portland, how both clubs secured their stadium situations, and the importance of local ownership in shaping authentic lower-league soccer culture.

The conversation also digs into Greenville’s season so far, the challenges of balancing a playoff push with a deep cup run, and standout players to watch.

We preview Wednesday night’s big USL League One matchup as the Hearts travel to Greenville for the return fixture, with playoff implications for both clubs. Expect discussion of playing styles—Portland’s pressing and physicality vs Greenville’s possession-heavy approach—the role of veteran leaders, and who might step up when it matters most.

We also touch on supporter culture across USL League One, the growing importance of SGs in building atmosphere, and what pro/rel and league expansion could mean for the future of American soccer.

Watch Hearts of Pine @ Greenville Triumph live on ESPN+ – Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 7PM.
