In this episode of The Wanderer Grounds, Coast reporters Matt Stickland and Martin Bauman are joined by Alex Sheppard—a HFX Wanderers FC fan, but also a part of local minor soccer organization Suburban FC.

The three talk about the Wanderers’ game over the weekend (a nil-nil draw with Winnipeg’s Valour FC). After the recap, Alex tells Matt and Martin all about the upcoming Maritime Super Series, which will feature some big names in both men’s and women’s soccer—including some former Wanderers (one of whom is an all-time leading scorer for the club).

And finally, Matt learns that Martin is famous.
