Hey everyone!

I'm really interested in joining Cloud 9 for the 2025 season! I'm a college student (soon to be college graduate) and am just wondering if there are other college students/young adults apart of Cloud 9? The group is huge, I understand, and I'm sure there are people of many ages...I'll be joining no matter what, but am just curious! I'm looking to join an awesome community post-grad!

Hey all, working on a short story around soccer gratitude for 2024. I wanted to reach out to others to see what they are thankful for in the soccer world this year?

Okay, I am a newer women’s soccer fan. I have watched women’s soccer in the last Olympics and in 2020 but I became a fan of Rose Lavelle’s style of play (the footwork blows my mind) almost immediately.

I followed OL Reign last year but started going to Gotham games this year and had a blast. I have been thinking of buying season tickets for next year, but I wasn’t sure if I should because I was under the impression that Rose Lavelle was signed to a one-year contract? The people I’ve attended games with have said that she may not be back next year so I’m so confused because I also see info online that she is signed through 2026.

Can somebody please explain this to me like I am in kindergarten? Between talking to my friends and what I’m seeing online… I just need a little guidance please? TIA! Go 🦇‼️

I ended up with a free night tonight, anyone watching the championship match in Manhattan?

Now that I’m slightly more over the loss, I can look back and say this was a fun season! I loved witnessing the arc this team went through: starting without Rose, having trouble scoring but relying on a strong defense to stay high in the standings, bringing in Ann then Jess, finally hitting their stride to end up playing beautiful collective ball…

Knowing that the team will look different next year, it would be fun to celebrate this year’s players with some superlatives. I have a few ideas but let me know yours 🦇

• best dressed: Mandy Freeman
• future head coach: Emily Sonnett
• future team owner: Tierna Davidson
• best dog mom: Rose Lavelle
• hardest worker: Delanie Sheehan
• overachiever: Yazmeen Ryan
• everyone’s bestie: Nealy Martin
• best smile: Maitane Lopez
• most likely to never think about soccer when she retires: AKB
• most likely to become a fitness influencer: Esther Gonzalez
• future MVP: Ella Stevens

I will happily buy valet parking from you if you don’t use it - for individual games or the whole season. AFAIK there’s no way for me to get it as a normie STH but I would absolutely love that for next season. Feel free to DM and discuss!

hi folks! sorry for any stupid questions to follow — im a long time soccer lover but never been a huge pro sports fan so i’ve only gotten into following the league in the last couple years or so. that being said, i really would love to get season tickets for gotham but have some questions for anyone who might have experience.

first, how easy is it to actually resell your tickets if you can’t use them? I was told you can put them on TM at your desired price but do they actually sell or is it just a nice option in theory?

second, if you’ve tried all access, are the perks as worthwhile as they appear or is there anything i should know?

lastly i guess i’d just love to know if you have any other advice or recommendations about season tickets and attending. thanks guys!

Resign midge

If Abby Smith is healthy nothing if she’s not a better backup to akb

If crystal dunn is done at gotham (and it kinda seems she is???) a backup leftback

A box to box midfielder. We have delanie and then nothing.

What is on your list?

heyo! Is there an active discord for Gotham FC fans? I found one, but it looks inactive. Thank youuuuu

No cassie miller, cece kizer, rose, dunn, midge, or zerboni. I shall try not to read too much into that but yet cannot help but note it. It’s 11:30pm and zerboni is 37 so I assume she is at home in bed lol. Dunn has obviously been mia and i assume will be leaving in the offseason??? Rose isn’t there but sonnett is and somehow that feels like it counts. The others…just noting it. Just a kernel of speculation to feed us these upcoming months.

Where are the best sections to buy season tickets?! 🩵🦇

Since our batties are out of it, I’m curious who you all want to win the championship. Personally, I am rooting for the Spirit. Although we haven’t beat them, I am a big fan of a bunch of their players, especially Esme Morgan who was in the first pro match I ever saw live

Sad its not us going, but anyone know of any manhattan or BK bars showing the game?

Hi! I know this won’t be relevant until next season, but I’m wondering if they do jersey customization at RBA? Could I bring in a blank jersey that I already own and have them add a player’s name? I never really know how that stuff works

I know, the wound is still fresh, but this loss shows that this team needs a few improvements, so who would you like to see come and go in the off season?

I think today illustrates the fact that we could use another solid fullback option, which means either Bruninha or Jenna goes. Potentially Jenna because she has the biggest trade value thanks to her international status…

Then in the midfield, I don’t know what’s our plan with Maitane, I thought she was great in the first half of the season but Nealy has become a real cornerstone at DM. Together with Delanie and Rose, it’s potentially the best trio in the whole league (maybe on par with KC). However Zerboni is not a reliable backup option, it was clear throughout the season every time against strong opponents. Crystal Dunn would be perfect but I’m not sure if she’ll wear our crest again 🙃

For the forwards, keeping in mind that Midge will be coming back, we have almost too many options! Ella and Yazmeen are huge revelations this year, so they should stay, but - and it hurts to write this - I think Lynn Williams might need to go… since the Olympics I have found her super inefficient, every game she wasted a few big chances, plus her dribbling and passing have taken a dip…

Trading Jenna and Lynn would hurt, but it would also mean that we have a better team during international windows. Plus they would be valuable to other teams, and we could get the replacements we need.

Edit: Midge Purce is actually a free agent so we could sign her or not

Super team was a failed experiment ! The team actually played better during international breaks .

For those who watched on TV: how was the foul call that led to the free kick/equalizer? Gotham supporters section was at the other end, so hard to really see it from there and I haven’t been able to find a replay.

Before this year, I have never been to a Gotham game. Earlier this year I helped plan a work outing to the Gotham pride game in the summer and I couldn't even go : ( But I went to four other games this year with some friends including the playoff game against the Thorns, and I loved everything about the games! I am proud to support this league and this team!!

After today's game I purchased my season ticket for 2025 💅 🦇

See you all at Cloud 9 next year!! Thanks for the fun Gotham FC!!

Hopefully DC gets wrecked in the final, that's all I could hope for at this point 😂

I have no other words.

Tf were those PKs??? I have nothing else to say but WHAT?

Google and every article I looked at to see "where to watch" today's game says it will be on both CBS and Paramount+. I have Paramount+, yet do not see anything about the game / cannot find it listed anywhere .... ??

And I’m so glad many people asked me about the jersey - who is it for? NY has a women’s soccer team? Where do they play? How are they doing? They’re in the playoffs? They won last year, too?!

How do we get more people aware that Gotham is here and fucking awesome?!

Spoke with the bus (through - connection) and they confirmed the bus has a dvd player. Anyone out there have any random movies to bring to watch??!!?? Don’t forget snacks!

Besides Newburgh, are there any watch parities happening upstate Saturday? Or if anyone knows, newburgh watch party was maybe too low key last time I went! The game was on but there was no sound and maybe only two tables with Gotham fans
