South Ward Central Gotham FC Coverage

Good Afternoon Redditors,

My name is Sean Hartnett, and I created SouthWardCentral.com earlier this year to offer credentialed, year-round coverage of Gotham FC and Red Bull New York.

I've noticed a few of my articles and interviews shared on r/GothamFC. Thanks to those who've followed my site in its early days. I'd like the opportunity to interact with you more, as some Gotham fans prefer Reddit to other social media platforms.

If you haven't read my work, here's my latest piece on captain Tierna Davidson's performances as she's gotten back to 90-minute workloads:
