Let’s get this out of the way first.
While we are hopeful that everyone reads this and feels as if this opportunity is right up their alley, it’s probably only a correct fit for 5% of you – 95% may not have even clicked the link – in fact, judging from our Google Analytics, about 40% of you won’t even open the email this is contained in – even if we put “Free Hugs From Christian McCaffrey” in the subject.
We’re proud to do our part to Change the Culture of Panthers fans, and we know that you are too – as the Roaring Riot has grown, one of the things we added into the fold in 2017 was our own media outlet, The Riot Report, a credentialed source that brings you the very best in Panthers coverage both on and off the field – a way for fans to find out what’s happening with both their favorite team and the fan union of that team – in 2018, we expanded those efforts; we made The Riot Network the best source of Panthers podcasts on the internet, sent reporters on assignment to interesting Roaring Riot destinations like London, Denver and others, added more writers, started our “Get to Know A Chapter” series, made daily video segments a huge part of our reporting and much more – all with the goal of being your go-to source for Panthers news, opinions and analysis no matter what form you liked it in.
Over the past two seasons, we’ve continued our efforts – The Riot Report has become a trusted source for breaking Panthers news and daily reporting, our podcast network has continued to feature the best voices in Panthers Podcasting and we launched The Riot Record, where you can match your fandom up against other fans. We’re continuing to move forward with a Roaring Riot section and much more is in store for the Roaring Riot.
We value being the connection to the very best Panthers fans – and for those that find value in what we do, we wanted to offer you the chance to get even closer to your favorite team and to the folks that cover it on a daily basis by becoming a Riot Supporter.
Here’s what you get for only $5 a month:
- Private Channel: A private area available only to Riot Supporters to chat with other fans.
- Member Page: Your name listed on an exclusive The Riot Supporters page to show off to your friends and family – not quite a statue of a Panther roaring outside a stadium, but we’re on our way.
- Shoutouts and Follows: A personal shoutout from the Roaring Riot and a follow on your social media handles.
- Sticker or Custom Moleskin Notebook: An exclusive The Riot Supporter sticker that is only available through the Supporter program. Pay the full year in advance and get an additional gift: An exclusive The Riot Supporter moleskin notebook where you can write down your ideas for the next great Panthers podcast – or just the questions you want to ask about your favorite team. This gift will change annually so the longer you’re a supporter, the more dope gifts you’ll get!
- Surprises! Other cool surprises and insider info throughout the season!
For supporters that want to be even more involved, we’ve got an uber-exclusive club that we are limiting to just 25 members per season – here’s what you get for $250 per year, besides the feeling that you’re doing the utmost possible to help support The Riot Report.
