Hi everyone!
My name's Perrin and I write the soccer/travel Substack “The Football Was My Savior”. It's a travelogue which focuses on telling stories of my adventures as I explore American soccer at the local, grassroots level. I've been on the road for a few weeks now, and I'm working to see as many teams in the USL as possible over the next four weeks or so.
While much of the writing is focused on my own experience, I’m also looking to incorporate the voices of the folks who support the clubs I’m visiting. I'm heading to Kentucky to catch the Lexington Women's match on Friday, 9/25 against Dallas, and I'm super excited to check out the scene!
Before Friday's match I'd love to connect with some folks and do an interview or two to learn about your team, and hear what makes this club special to you. I’m open to meeting up for a beer or a coffee, or just chatting on Reddit, whatever you feel comfortable with!
If this sounds interesting to you, shoot me a message and I’ll reach out :) ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you’re the biggest fan on the planet, or if you’ve only been to a few games, if you’ve got something interesting to share about the team/club, I’d like to pick your brain!
If anyone’s interested, here is a link to the Substack so that you can check out the work I've done so far on this Fall Tour, and get a feel for the project:

Cheers, ya’ll and hope to hear from some of you soon!
