The Pitch Invasion podcast, presented by Peter Wilt and Tom Dunmore, is now available on iTunes,
so please take a second and leave a rating there if you enjoy the show!
If you haven't listened to it, the inaugural episode was released last week, and featured Wilt
discussing how to start an MLS club with Montreal Impact Jesse Marsch, along with Dunmore
interviewing former Supporters Direct chief executive Dave Boyle about UK and US fan culture.
Almost five years into the existence of Pitch Invasion, you can now hear the dulcet tones of
Pitch Invasion editor Tom Dunmore and regular contributor Peter Wilt on a new monthly podcast,
featuring interviews with interesting people from the world of soccer.
It's available to stream or download below, and will show up on iTunes shortly.
A significant portion of the proceeds ($10 per scarf) from all pre-orders this week of the
new Pitch Invasion bar scarf will be donated to benefit the Operation Pitch Invasion charity in
Portland, Oregon. Here's why...
When supporters of the Portland Timbers, organized by the 107ist Trust and Timbers Army,
announced in 2011 that they were launching a new charity called Operation Pitch Invasion to support
the growth of the game at the grassroots level in Portland, Pitch Invasion's interest was piqued by
more than just the Doppelgänger.
With the Pitch Invasion book release party tonight in Chicago, today seemed a propitious time to
launch the new Pitch Invasion online store.
Through the weekend, you can take 20% off all the store items by entering the coupon code "PI"
at checkout. The store features The Very Best of Pitch Invasion book, stylish PI stickers and
buttons, and an all new Pitch Invasion scarf an embroidered bar scarf available in very limited
quantities via pre-order until January 30th.
Pitch Invasion Press is proud to add its second title to the Pitch Invasion ebookstore,
An Illustrated Guide to Soccer & Spanish by Elliott Turner.
The execution of this marvelous concept to teach a little bit of Spanish through a little bit of
soccer is as good as the idea, with a series of charming illustrations by Erik Ebeling making it a
breezy, informative and enjoyable read.
The Very Best of Pitch Invasion, an anthology of 39 essays from this site since
2007, was released in digital and print editions last Friday.
The print edition is available on Amazon in the United States, and today (Monday) is the LAST
day to order it in time for Christmas delivery!
Psst, you might have noticed we've scaled Pitch Invasion down to periodic lengthy essays and
photo features. We're happier this way, without feeling we need to post every day and with more
focus on crafting quality posts (hopefully!).
But we still find interesting stuff elsewhere every day.
Google+ has finally allowed "brands" on its social network. Check out the Pitch Invasion page
here. We're going to try and use it more creatively than just as another tool to push out links and
the like as we're embarking on some other projects, particularly publishing, we'll be posting some
behind the scenes stuff and most importantly looking for feedback from readers as we put projects
together.
If you follow the Pitch Invasion twitter account, you might have seen mention of a new
side-project: Stadium Porn, a site all about stadiums, not porn. So far, we have lasciviously
looked at the Amex in Brighton, England; Estadio de Fútbol Monterrey in Mexico; Mineirão, Belo
Horizonte, Brazil; and Stadio di Palermo, Palermo, Italy.
Pitch Invasion is getting into the eBook publishing business. We have a couple of original books
in the works, and we'd like to know just a little about your interest in eBooks. We would really
appreciate your feedback as we get this venture underway.
Please fill out the form below and hit submit one lucky person randomly drawn from all
the submissions by September 30th 2011 will win a $25 Amazon gift certificate!
