You should support Wycombe Wanderers if you live in South Louisiana.

Wycombe Wanderers are an ancient club in England. They recently got promoted to the Championship (2nd tier of English footy). Heres why you should care, they are owned by 2 South Louisiana investors. Peter and ROb Couhig. Peter is a baton rouge guy and his family still resides in town. Additionally, he is involved in a number of other local business ventures. The club is an absolute underdog story and supporting them also can have an indirect impact on south louisiana. The club plays a uniquely american style and Pete proudly represented Louisiana on his hat throughout the season, even on TV and in interviews after the big match yesterday where they beat Oxford at Wembley to get promoted. Its been cool to see the club fly though the ranks in england the last few years but theyre one good season away from the premiership so they could use the international support now more than ever.

From what I read, they're probably going to get absolutely smashed in the Championship next season.
But frick it, I'm in. Let's ride.

Imagine writing this post and not paying any respect to Akinfenwa.

That is a cool story and Akinfenwa is a legend (TYFYS)
But can you explain this part of your post?

Excellent post.
Saw the dude in a hat that had Louisiana outline on it yesterday.
Love the subbed forward.
Hope they do well in the championship next year.

I completely forgot about this.
With some cheeky loan signings they could shithouse their way to a decent season.

That kick-ball?
Just watched 5 years of youth soccer, I think I’m an expert on how that’s played.

Wycombe have no youth team or academy at all. Favorite fact about them.

Wycombe play at probably the most scenic ground in England:

They need to sign Cameron Carter-Vickers next season.
Baton Rouge sticks together.

I was wondering why the owner was wearing a Louisiana baseball cap yesterday. Awesome!

Rob Couhig deciding to run for office which forced him to sell his share of the Zephyrs is what I believe doomed the organization. He could have survived the loss of Jay Miller as his GM, and if interested he could likely have landed the Zephyrs better affiliates. He could certainly have ensured that the ball park was well-maintained and got money out of the state to ensure it.
So now, I have a second team to follow.
They just bought the club in February!

Their yellow kit looks great. No brainier for $60

Another good article here.

I got a kick out of the name of their business entity:
Looks like they only invested 3.2M pounds in March, and then were promoted in June. That should be an amazing ROI. If it were me, I'd immediately sell half to someone who knew a lot more about English soccer. I'm sure just from that, he can put all the investment back in his pocket and then some, and then it's all lagniappe from there!
