We have a gaffer! Your usual crew of Mike and Stu welcome special guests Matt and Scott to discuss the appointment of Bruno Baltazar as RNYFC’s first manager. But first we get their views on the league announcement and their thoughts on the future of MLS Next Pro

In this weeks episode, Mike and Stu discuss the big MLS…Next Pro announcement, the new stadium location, and why going MLS Next Pro isn’t as cataclysmic as Twitter may think it is. 

We’re back! After a bit of a break we talk about Rnyfc’s new sporting director, Dr. Lee Tucker, and then talk about how soccer can be a tool to help the community. We end the episode with a new segment, “One thing in world football”

This week on the podcast, we don't actually have a podcast. Instead, we're trying something new with Mike and Stu doing a live stream of the 1999 US Open Cup Final between Rochester and Colorado.  If you want to watch the stream we're watching at the same time, you can start at the 38:56 mark of the video entitled "Colorado Rapids vs. Rochester Raging Rhinos: Open Cup Classics Replay - Sept. 14, 1999" posted by US Soccer

In today's episode, Mike and Stu do a deep dive on academies in the US, how the V9 academy system may look like with Empire United, and Mike's patent pending idea "Just the quarters" 

In our first episode of "Sit down with Stu", Stu explains the origins of the name Valiant 33, as well as gives a quick history lesson of early 1800s Rochester. Trust us, its more interesting than it sounds. 

In todays episode, Mike and Stu discuss their thoughts on the league RNYFC will join, what the stadium on John St should look like as well as what they want in the game day experience. 

Mike and Stu welcome Scott as our special guest for a deep dive on the rebrand from the Rhinos to RNYFC. The team discusses the badge, the colors, why a rebrand was needed and of course the name. 

In the final episode of our arc on the RNYFC history; Stu, Mike and Matt discuss the 2017 season, the hiatus, chicken fingers and what we know of the new ownership group.
