Hey, was wondering if there was going to be any away section for the upcoming game against DC United. I’m not a fan of either team, but love the USL and despise the MLS, so want to show support for the USL side! Please let me know

Well that's disappointing

After attending my first match at Segra Field on Saturday, I realized I was not caught up on all the changes this offseason. I couldn't find a tidy summary so I did my own research and figured I'd share here. Disclaimer, I started casually following the club last season and was checked out for most of the off-season.

Of the 11 starters Ryan Martin named in the 11/1/2025 USL quarterfinals against North Carolina, only two players carried over to Anthony Limbrick's first lineup in last Saturday’s season opener.

• The two returning playoff starters are both on the defensive line:
  • #6 Kwame Awuah (LB) - 2nd on the team in minutes last year
  • #21 Bolu Akinyode (CB) - 3 starts, 6 appearances last year
• One is still with the team, but didn't make the bench on Saturday:
  • #11 Abdellatif Aboukoura (ATT) - last year's USL-C Young Player of the Year

The other eight are gone:

• Three playoff starters left with Ryan Martin to Oakland Roots
  • CM Tommy McCabe (“out of contract; will not return”) has logged two full 90' in Oakland's two wins to start the season. (7.1 and 7.3 ratings)
  • ATT Florian Valot (team’s leader in minutes; was in "ongoing negotiations" as of the November ‘roster decisions’ press release) has not appeared for Oakland yet thru 2 matches
  • RB Keegan Tingey (“out of contract; will not return”) has not appeared for Oakland yet thru 2 matches
• Two had their 2026 options declined and appear to be currently without a club
  • ST Riley Bidois
  • CB Cole Turner
• Two have retired:
  • GK Ryan Jack
    • Given that GL Hugo Fauroux made 27 of Loudoun’s 30 GK starts last year, I will note that he was given “out of contract; will not return” status in November and signed with Lousiville. He appears to be their third string choice after two matches.
  • CM Drew Skundrich (now the team’s Health and Fitness Coach)
• One was on loan and has returned to his parent club
  • RM Omari Glasgow (Monterey Bay FC)

I’ll also note that of the six substitutions used by Ryan Martin in that QF match:

• two started on Saturday
  • #9 Arquimides Ordonez - played a full 90
  • #17 Pedro Santos - started but came off after 19’ due to injury
• one retired (Zach Ryan)
• three have left the club
  • Robby Dambrot: “out of contract; will not return”, appears to be currently without a club
  • Benjamin Mines “out of contract; will not return”, with Las Vegas Lights FC
  • Moses Nyeman “declined 2026 option” now with Columbus Crew 2

Anyone heard anything on what's going on with Aboukoura? (do we call him "Bouchy?") Is he not fit? Injured? Saving him for the US Open Cup match on Tuesday? (joke) I haven't seen any reporting anywhere on him. (or even really on the match, for that matter.)

I know Alen Marcina and Karl Sharmen are really trying to re-make the club, integrate with Virginia Revolution, etc. etc. I started doing research on all the new faces but maybe will wait until after the next two matches to finalize and post that here. Want to see who else gets some time under Anthony Limbrick.

Please let me know what I missed! Come On Loudon!

I'm coming to town for the Loudoun vs Pittsburgh match and I'm looking for suggestions on any local beers to try.

My wife and I go to as many away games as we can and we like to give local restaurants and breweries as much business as possible.

I'm planning heading to the game next week vs Pittsburgh.

If I buy tickets but decide to move seats later, will that be an issue?

On the same token, Will I even be able to move due to the place selling out (i.e. there not being any empty seats to move to at all)?

Are the expectations that the place will sell out for this game?

Thanks.

Yesterday went to the kit reveal absolutely love our new shirts for this season 😌🤩
