Rain Delays, Spanish Friendlies, and Transparent Ticketing

This week on Rivercity 93, we cover a wide range of action on and off the pitch. First, we break down the Richmond Kickers' exciting midseason friendly announcement with La Liga’s CD Leganés—yes, the same Leganés currently battling relegation and backed by American ownership. What does this mean for the club, the fans, and the city?

Next, we unpack the FTC’s new ticketing transparency rule and what it means for Kickers fans at the box office. No, your ticket isn’t suddenly more expensive—we explain the real story behind the all-in pricing.

On the pitch, we reflect on a rain-soaked 0-0 draw in Chattanooga that was light on passes but heavy on puddles. Becket Howell made her first start at LB, and Emi had the only real look at goal with a cheeky chip.

We also highlight the signing of Jonathan Gomez from Orange County SC

In this episode of Rivercity93 , we dive into a busy week for the Richmond Kickers both on and off the pitch. First up: the Kickers announce a mid-season friendly with La Liga side CD Leganés, who bring some international flair—and American ownership—to City Stadium this summer. We break down what this matchup means for the club and the community.

Next, we explain the new FTC rule on ticketing transparency. Wondering why your ticket price looks a little different? We’ve got you covered with a breakdown of how fees work and why this change is actually a win for fans.

We also cover the club’s latest youth signing—Jonathan Gomez from Orange County SC—and celebrate Becket Howell’s first official start. Finally, we revisit last weekend’s waterlogged 0-0 draw in Chattanooga, where even Mother Nature didn’t want to see anyone score.

Tune in for all that, plus our usual takes, updates, and listener shoutouts.
