All Wakey Aren't We

In this episode, Rich invites special guest Austin Ainsworth, the official WAFC match reporter, to discuss all the matches which have been played since AWAW episode 5. These include a club record 15-0 against Fieldhead, a 4-0 home victory against reigning champions North Gawber Colliery, and a heartbreaking 1-2 home defeat against league leaders Swinton AFC.

In this Halloween themed episode, Rich and Si reflect on the mysterious cancellation of all recent WAFC fixtures, worry about the hex cast on star striker Jake Morrison, and look forward to confronting the dark side of the force, aka Swinton Athletic. They also reflect on the 2-3 away win at Penistone, revenging the previous week's home defeat. 

In this episode, Rich and Si reflect on the disappointing defeat to fellow title contenders Penistone Church FC Reserves, and (dare we say it) the first signs of fan discontent. In a week where Newcastle have been bought by Saudi owners, Rich interviews Richard Irving from the Football Supporters' Association https://thefsa.org.uk/ to discuss fan ownership and why many fans are turning away from Premier League football.
