The Flock End Rebuild

The Flock End Rebuild

Author: Sconnie Sports Network September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:10:57

For the third consecutive week, Forward Madison has conceded a goal at home, come back to score one, and finished in a 1-1 draw. We love being unbeaten at home, but we wouldn’t mind some wins! This week Ethan and Rob talk through the home match against Sarasota, opine on Boise’s move to the Championship, and revisit some thoughts on promotion and relegation. Then, we’ve got a rebuilt roster – how about a rebuilt Flock End? Forward Madison’s Conor Caloia stops by to discuss the club’s monumental stadium renovation proposal and what it’ll mean for the soccer experience.

NOTE: Technical difficulties delayed publication of this episode, so we now know that Corpus Christi beat Greenville, which means Forward Madison cannot clinch playoffs tonight. Gotta wait a few more days!
