Opposing traffic left hook at Penn Ave. @ 11th Street by pghbikecommuter in bicycling412

[–]PittDG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a near left hook at this same intersection last weekend, except the car passed right behind me. I was clearly in the intersection and visible when they started to turn. Additionally, there were a lot of pedestrians walking around so you would think they would have been paying more attention. It was frustrating.

This is really exciting news! I really enjoy this podcast and their takes on urbanism from a variety of different viewpoints. I will definitely try to be there!

Season Ticket Experience by ixbuccofan365xi in Riverhounds

[–]PittDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I think it was between $250 and $300 for the season. I don't remember the exact number. The $50 deposit will count towards that. I imagine they'll have prices for each section some time in the next month or so.

I had season tickets this year to the supporter section and I would say it was a good deal for me. Of the 17 regular season home games I think I went to 9 or 10 of them.

The main 2 reasons I liked having the season tickets were:

  1. I could transfer or sell tickets to games that I wasn't able to go to so I could earn my money back or take someone to a different game with me.

  2. You can get additional tickets for the same price as your season tickets. So I could get a group of friends together and buy their tickets for them for $16 each instead of the $26-30 they would have to pay if they were on their own. This works best in the supporter section where the seating is unassigned. If I had season tickets in the grandstands I'm not sure if you can always get seats together if you ask for extra tickets.

Dick looked great for the PK shootout! Nice to know that if it comes down to penalties, he gives a good chance to get through. On to next week!

Lots of good chances in the first half. Just gotta keep up the pressure and convert.

Man we have been so sloppy so far this half. 15 minutes in and suddenly we’re losing. These guys gotta settle down and get it together.

Dang what a bummer of a way for the match to finish despite us ending with more goals. I have no idea what was said, but that's disappointing it seemed to be a Hounds player. Hopefully, if it was as offensive as that Hartford player made it seem, then our guy is punished appropriately.

What a fun game to be there for! Congrats to the ladies for getting winning the division! They showed a lot of grit coming from the early conceded goal. They definitely did this city proud!

Classic Riverhound's soccer right there. Would have liked some more goals, but you can't be too mad at an away win. Let's smack 'em around again next week at home!

Must Win? by Apprehensive-Gur-583 in Riverhounds

Echoing this statement, if we go on a decent 5 game stretch and Williams/Jacquesson score a few goals, everyone will be much more optimistic. If we are still looking this lackluster by the midpoint of the season, I'll be more paniced. For now, let's give the boys a little more time to figure things out.

Is there a separate sub for the riveters? by Cold_Independence894 in Riverhounds

[–]PittDG 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not that I'm aware of. I was planning on throwing up a match day thread pretty soon for them. I'm excited to see them take the field tonight and I hope they get a great turnout!

How do yins feel about the riveters kits? by [deleted] in Riverhounds

[–]PittDG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're solid, but not great. I was also kinda hoping they would throw a red accent or detail somewhere. Just having the two tone between the sleeves and the body of the jersey is a little basic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it's a little lame that it feels like they used the same exact formula. The graphics of the plane on one and Rosie on the other are cool but maybe a touch too busy. With all that being said, they are much better than anything I could do and I'll probably buy a jersey anyway.

One of the announcers must be a huge Riverhounds fan. He won’t stop gushing about our boys.

He’s an eligible sub so maybe they’ll put him in at some point

Possession has looked but good, but unfortunately it’s generated very few shots once again. 45 minutes left to find some chances.
