Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

The Word vs Carl goes international once more as we head off to the US of A to test Uncle Ron's knowledge from his 1000 plus games following Watford home and away! Can Carl compete against the Head of the Florida Massive! Carl starts by trash talking using apple based beverages, Andre Gray gets a mention in despatches, Uncle Ron struggles to chose between Perryman and Roeder eras and Carl reacts strongly to the words "Willie" and "Falconer" and finally we debate the great Dennis Booth - how Northern was he?

In a first for our podcast we commentate on a match LIVE! Here are a few highlights which include the price list from DD's Easy Diner, Carl befriending the assistant referees, a discussion about which areas of the ground to demolish and asking Helen Ward where our brownies are. Oh and Peter makes a decent fist of actually commentating before Carl has a warm down race with Jade Bradley and Peter descends the commentary gantry.

A month that saw only four matches for Watford means a slightly shorter round up than usual, doesn't it?!

Thats right we didn't just talk to Dave we forced him to take part in the utter nonsense that is the World vs Carl! Pete tries to flip a coin and cocks it up, Carlos complains a lot and relies on luck, Justin tries coaching Carl again to no good affect and Dave confesses to having made a wallchart in his youth! All agree that Steve Harrison's career is an excellent subject for discussion.

Plus how long does it take to remember that Alan Devonshire's first name was Alan?

 Justin, Carl and Pete talk with Dave Messenger (EDI Lead at the club) about supporting from the early days with his dad, the slow movement to underneath the scoreboard, the fanzines, the memories and to ultimately working at the club. We hear about the role of supporter liaison and more about his current role centred on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion which Dave feels echoes messages from key figures in the past. We discuss Ann Swanson and the Junior Hornets, the "G" word, racism and we get a better conversational understanding of what goes on behind the "We" campaign.

Two years in and some of the mentioned news comes out as the lads discuss the launch of their Patreon account, the forthcoming T Shirts which will be raising money for both The Peace Hospice and KitAid. All pods, videos and normal nonsense will continue to be accessed in the usual way and not placed behind any kind of paywall and they discuss something called the "Bumper Book of Nonsense". Once they get all that out of the way attentions turn to the World Cup and Pete starts to rant about FIFA and previous World Cups - Justin and Carl agree to not bring up FIFA again for Pete's health! Carl decides to make an impromptu offer - Pete and Justin wince!

Justin and Pete get to meet Ann Swanson, in her seat, in her stand. The lady that was the driving force behind Graham's vision of the family club by establishing the Junior Hornets in the early 1980's is back at the club - and the club is better off for it. We chat about the old days and the new era for the Junior Hornets, we hear tales about Ian Bolton and Steve Sherwood and the way that the modern football world makes it harder to do now, what was done in the 1980's but there appears to be no lack of trying. We hear that Rob Edwards short reign might have a legacy on match days and how Ann how Ann was introduced to the Aldershot chairman - but the thing that gives Ann the most joy is in trying to get us back to or continue to be "the Family Club". This lady has created such a legacy that it will be difficult to match moving forward but it is great that she is involved in helping Barry, Phil and Chris to try to do just that.

Also, Pete promises to swear less but nobody believed a word of that!
