AFC Crewe - Full Steam Ahead

This week, we chat for the final time with the legend that is Mr Gary Taylor-Fletcher.

Our now ex-manager, who led us to 2 league titles and a cup win, with a double included in that. Helped shape the club for what it is now, leaving us in a great place for new boss Kieran to kick on and hopefully add to our trophy haul.

GTF reflects on his time with us, this season, his top performers, and his own future.

Thank you for the memories GTF - One AFC Crewe!

The 3 AFC Crewe-ateers return. Ben, Flat Cap and Rob return to talk about a big few weeks for the club, with talks or a merger and the season coming to a close.

We have no Flat Cap again this week, as he thinks he's too big for the podcast now he's captain of his snooker team once again. so you've got Rob & Ben singing praises of our Women's team, who are quite frankly on fire this season!

With an 8-0 demolition and a well deserved 4-1, we keep up the pressure on rivals Nantwich.

Meanwhile GTF winds the clock back again with a sublime double assist cameo appearance to lift the men to a hard fought draw.

We're a double act this week, with Rob & Ben on hosting duties covering the last 2 weeks of matches for the Men & Womens teams.

With a cup run firmly on track for the womens team, the men are focussing on moving up the table and continuing the solid performances.

The 3 amigo's back again, discussing a sublime hatty from Komo, but an outstanding performance from GTF, George of course! A MOTM performance from him to help the team to a solid win at the weekend.

The ladies continue their incredible form, with the league title still firmly in sight!

It's been a whirlwind week for the club across both teams, with feisty encounters in a bitter derby, and a sad loss of well loved players moving onto rival clubs.

It's not all doom and gloom though, as we have discussions and votes about our new home kit for next season well underway now!

It's well worth a sign up to see the exciting things that are starting to take place with next season starting to come into the forefront of peoples' minds.

After a delay due to work schedules, Rob & Isaac catch up with all things AFC Crewe, where winning runs are continuing!

It's 2025, we have a huge run of home games for the Men's team, the ladies are flying and could make a huge statement against a main rival this weekend.

We're just hoping the british weather doesnt halt the run both teams are having, with the men stringing 3 wins back to back, and the ladies still undefeated!

Rob's double win prediction game true, with the men's team pummelling FC 41 6-0, and the ladies beating Congleton 2-1 to maintain their unbeaten status in the league this season.

Flat Cap returns after a phone call to chase him up, but due to his internet quality we've no idea if he was talking, if we spoke over him, so apologies guys but this is Full Steam Ahead, and we continued on, FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Flat Cap is MIA, so Ben & Rob take the reigns this week. AFC Crewe men battled against top of the table Ball Haye Green, and came out triumphant thanks to a hattrick from Tom Wakefield, who seems to be settling in well in the team. The Mighty Brandon is back from injury now too, and with a vast majority of the remaining fixtures to be played at the legendary Wood Park, our climb up the table is surely inevitable.

The women face off against bottom of the table this weekend, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season, good luck ladies! Meanwhile the men face bottom of the table FC41, who are without a single point this season, fingers crossed for a double AFC Crewe win to finish the week perfectly.
