Curtain Raisers, Crisis Clubs & Riley's All Stars

🎙️ It’s the curtain raiser weekend. Scott & Scott are back in the studio for a stacked episode ahead of the 2025/26 National League season!

Here’s what’s on the mic:

⚽️ This Week’s Talking Points

🎲 National League Predictions with a Twist
24 clubs. Drawn at random. Once they’re placed, they’re locked in - unless we use our one wildcard swap each.

⚠️ Morecambe FC Crisis Discussion
We discuss the devastating situation at Morecambe FC, whose membership in the National League has been suspended due to financial turmoil.
We reflect on Southend United’s near-collapse and how closely this mirrors it, a must-hear for fans who’ve lived through club instability.

🌟 Riley’s All-Stars Charity Match Preview
We shine a spotlight on young Riley Whatley, who is bravely battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1.
We talk through the incredible charity football match coming up on Saturday 24th August at Bowers & Pitsea FC, raising funds to support Riley’s journey.
Confirmed so far: Southend United legends Frankie Banks, Steve Tilson, and one more very familiar face joining the squad (revealed exclusively on the pod!).
