Who we ride for
Charlotte FC on one end. Greenville Triumph on the other. The same yarn runs all the way through — one club, one membership home, one very long story. Nothing here is two fan pages stitched together; it’s a single scarf that got longer.
The founding end · MLS · Bank of America Stadium
South Carolina’s first Charlotte FC supporters group — started the day MLS named Charlotte club No. 30, on purpose, from outside the city limits. We’ve been heading north up I-77 ever since.

Gold in the wash now, too: full Triumph memberships, season parking, and a matchday home base in the Upstate. Same songs, same family, different shade on the scarf.

Beyond matchday
The parts of the club that never come off. A supporters group that only exists on Saturdays isn’t much of one — between matches, all of this keeps rolling:
Every road trip gets a roster — sign up, see the headcount, know exactly who's on the annual capacity-capped bus to Atlanta before it fills up.
SBC fields its own sides for the Queen City Cup and adult league play. Support on Saturday, play on Sunday.
Member-led weekly and monthly sessions — Catan, D&D, Phasmophobia, Warzone — plus Legos on the table for the kids.
Fundraising drives and volunteer campaigns across the Carolinas. The crest means something off the pitch, too.
“Nothing could be finer.”
— The family motto
How this scarf got so long
It started with a handful of Tottenham Hotspur supporters in Rock Hill, South Carolina. When MLS named Charlotte its 30th club, Michael Gallemore and Matt Burris turned that fandom into South Carolina’s first Charlotte FC supporters group — built deliberately from outside the city limits, to give the fans beyond Charlotte a voice.
The yarn kept going: members across the Carolinas and beyond, a second club in Greenville, a rec team, an annual bus to Atlanta, a Lego habit, and karaoke that has to be heard to be believed. Come on in, pull up a chair, and be part of the continuing story.
