This time on the pod Lindsey and roving reporter Ed take you behind-the-scenes at a Manchester Thunder home game. Recorded live at Belle Vue, Lindsey speaks to new Thunder Captain Amy Carter about juggling her job as an NHS Doctor with the roles and responsibilities of leading the team. Amy gives us the gossip from inside the team as well as opening up about the challenges Thunder have faced coming into the Super League 2025.

FANalysis goes out into the crowd to soak up the atmosphere on game day and well as delving into the tactics on court as Thunder chalk up a decisive win over Nottingham Forest Netball. Thundercast producer Ed Heaton takes charge of the mic, getting an exclusive interview with a very special guest…the fastest human on the planet - Usain Bolt - is in the house.

Completing the game day experience, Lindsey chats with Thunderdome ‘MC’ James (Ginge) Phipps about his relationship with the crowd and why the atmosphere at a home game is so special.

Tickets for Thunder’s next Arena Home Game on Sunday 18th May at the M&S Bank Arena are available here: https://bit.ly/panthers-2025
