LOUISVILLE CITY FC
Farmer would be the first to admit he didn’ t run much of a campaign for the presidency, but his platforms and goals were concrete. He set out to mend relationships between fellow supporters groups of LouCity that had become eroded at that point, he wanted to increase the footprint of the Coopers in the community, and he desired to make it easy for casual fans to become supporters of their local soccer team.
Categorically, Farmer has been largely successful in these endeavors. While the Coopers are the biggest and most visible fans at Louisville City matches, they( specifically Farmer) interact with the soccer club with the interest of not only the Coopers, but all supporters’ interests in mind.
Perhaps the most successful collaboration between the different supporter’ s groups was the block party held at Goodwood Brewing before the July 15 match against FC Cincinnati,
a collaboration between the Coopers and“ the Black Sheep.”
As for increasing the footprint of the Coopers, look no further than the July 20 rally for a bespoke soccer stadium at Copper & Kings in Butchertown that was organized and promoted by the Coopers, along with the Butchertown Neighborhood Association.
While the Coopers’ membership numbers have been hovering around 350 strong, the supporters section in the stadium is usually filled to the brim, and the attendance at Louisville City matches has seen a palpable increase from season to season, and the club had a record 11,632 on hand last month for the aforementioned FC Cincinnati match.
Farmer immediately strikes you as a genuine person, and even though he is the head of an organization that exists to create a good time,
