Aviation Gin has a deal with a few airlines. There was a write up in the online magazine from Ryan Reynolds and they talk about it being offered on American and British Airways and other partner airlines.
Reynolds is marketing well. Also said he got into liquor after a trip to New Orleans.

Holy shite - Their fans are fricking fricking crazy. It's like they eat, shite, breathe the soccer club 24/7.

I thought us SEC fans were crazy but that fanbase takes rooting for a team to entire new universe. It's kind of cool but at the same time, it's kind of fricking weird.

There are a few episodes that were a little boring but the SO actually liked those episodes (so I guess they worked to appeal to women viewers as well)

I actually learned a lot about Soccer. I love how they have the Tiers where if you are at the bottom, you aren't making shite financially

New stadium looks pretty badass!

Those of you watching it, skip the Wromance episode when you get to it. I promise you aren't going to miss anything. It's not even a filler episode, it's a throwaway episode on an otherwise outstanding series.

Are there new episodes running currently?
I've enjoyed the episodes I've seen.
I mentioned to a coworker that the coach was a very well-spoken guy who turned into an F-bomb dropping machine when the game started.
He said "Did you ever think you missed your calling as a soccer coach?"

They are also doing a huge renovation to the stadium.

They need to. One entire end of the Racecourse is uninhabitable. When your gate receipts are a huge part of a National League team's cash flow, leaving 25% of potential attendance rusting away under giant tarps is a retarded mistake to continue making.

Their merch is flying off the shelves. They totally sold through their entire Black Friday/Cyber Monday inventory. They just need to get some kind of production here in the US so they don't have to charge $50 for shipping.

SEC fandom is the only connection that truly equates.

needed to do a better job with the narrative of how the season progressed. They’d hop backwards and forwards games without a good tracking of how the club’s positioning changed.


Bingo. They went through half the season in a montage in like 3 mins of one episode... in an 18 episode series.

The team and season should be the show a la Hard Knocks with Rob and Ryan as the filler.

That said I have enjoyed it. Solid casual viewing.

I wonder if they were dealing with broadcast rights for the game action.

Loved the parts about the town and learning about the league structure. Surprisingly, the conversations between Rob and Ryan were the least interesting parts of the show.

Enjoyed it. I didn't know how their season ended and made sure to not look it up and it made it better I think.

Wanted to like it because I love sports docs but it’s pretty boring. Some eps are good like when they dedicate one to the history of hooligans and when Ryan and Rob actually attend games, but others are just a chore to get through

If you think this is any good check out Sunderland till I Die on Netflix. Way better version of this about Sunderland in the championship league (1 league below premier league) minus the Hollywood owners of course
