Russ, Waggie, and Andy are joined by Fan Debutant — Dan Love, the main drumming man home and away, who had his first County match aged just 7 in 2014… and instantly made us all feel even older than last week! 😅
We put Dan through his debut questions — great to hear his favourite moments, even if he wasn’t quite sure which was the best goal he’s seen (too many to choose from, we guess 😉).
Then we dive into:
⚽️ The Luton loss — good performance, bad day at the office?
🏆 The Wigan draw — pointless penalties, biblical weather, and Cashy’s band of super grounds people.
📅 Meat Raffles — no explanation needed.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a full episode without Random Sh*t of the Week — and this time, it’s Waggie’s turn to take the host seat! 🎤
This week’s challenge: Follow the sequence and give me the next in line… 👀

Russ, Waggie, and Andy are joined by Fan Debutant — Lewis, who had his first County match aged just 6 in 2006… and instantly made us all feel ancient! 😅
We put Lewis through his debut questions — great to hear some favourite moments from when we were “sh**”... erm, not very good! 😂
Then we dive into:
⚽️ Winning Awards — it’s not for everyone! 😉
🏆 The Tranmere victory in the FA Cup
📅 The 2nd Round draw — home to Cambridge!

A Hatter vs Hatter showdown in SK3—the first clash of the two Hatters in over a decade, as Luton roll into Edgeley Park. Blue vs Orange, but both repping that mill-town grit.
Tune in as we unpack the visitors' journey: From the 2020 consortium's debt-saving heroics and the stadium plans (25k seats by '28) to Jack Wilshere's full-circle gaffer gig—Luton youth lad turned Arsenal star, now plotting from the dugout after his October '25 appointment. We trace their brutal non-league nosedive (30-point deduction) to that fairy-tale five-division sprint to the Prem... only to drop straight back down twice.
Spotlight the danger men and crossover tales—keepers like Andy Dibble (Wembley hero for Luton,) and forwards like Warren Feeney (netted for both in the noughties).

We look ahead to Luton and also chat about the progress Lowe is making in recent weeks and how the stoke boss has been keeping a close eye on him at County.

We're primed for an absolute FA Cup belter as the Hatters head to Prenton Park for Saturday's First Round clash with Tranmere Rovers. Stockport are flying high at the League One summit on a red-hot streak, while a Tranmere linger mid-table in League Two—setting the scene for a River Mersey showdown. We'll dive into the latest on Tranmere's takeover, spotlight the main dangers and standout players from both camps, and catch up on the familiar faces—ex-players and coaches—who've left their mark at each club.

Russ, Waggie, and Andy are joined by Fan Debutant — Mark “Santa” Love, the man you’ll have definitely seen (or heard) around the ground!
We put Mark through his debut questions — going back to some proper old-school County memories.
Then we dive into:
⚽️ The dominant 3–0 win at Port Vale
🏆 Tranmere in the FA Cup
📅 The rearranged fixtures
🔝 And the small matter of going top of the table!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a full episode without Random Sh*t of the Week — and this time, it’s a joint effort from Andy and Waggie! 🎤

We’re looking ahead to Monday night football as County travel to Vale Park. With Port Vale sitting 19th and County in 5th, there’s plenty to discuss. We’ll cover ownership and administration updates, key threats and players to watch, and shine a spotlight on Ryan Croasdale. And yes… the infamous Jim coach incident gets a mention too!

💙 This week’s exclusive pod brings together Russ, Andy, Dan, Ryan — and the one and only Captain Fantastic Mike Flynn — for a proper County catch-up.
We chat about the team’s flying form, the lack of cutting edge up front, and how we’re still just 1 point off the top with the 3rd best form in the EFL.
With injuries piling up, the lads give credit where it’s due to the manager. Plus, Mike shares news of his upcoming trip to China with Steve Bellis and County fans. Honest, funny, and full of heart — this one’s pure TSBW.

We put Matt through the debut questions and, as always, his answers don’t disappoint. We also dive into Mark Stott’s appearance on the Hard Truth Podcast — definitely worth a listen if you haven’t already. It’s fascinating to hear him in such a relaxed setting compared to his usual interviews.
