Being a truly horrible person, I didn't check my derby e-mail box very well during the pandemic.   Retiring as a ref didn't speed it up either.

So it was with great surprise I found an e-mail from Randy with Patch Patrol, a website similar to this one that tracks patches about the Portland (Oregon) area soccer teams, Timbers and Thorns.  I was absolutely stunned to see how many patches there were.  As of two years ago when he wrote me (I did say I was horrible for not replying sooner), he had 1,400 patches on the website.  I'm sure it's even more by now.

So if you live in the Portland area, are a fan of soccer teams, or even if you'd just like to see another website doing something fun, give it a looksie.
