From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC episodes

March 30, 2023 The one before Luton away
As the international break comes to the end Jon, Mike and Colin gathered to discuss all the build up to Watford trip to the Kennel. There are plenty of questions to discuss: How are we feeling before the game, is there anything to look forward to in the run in, which GT player do we need back, who's going to get sent off on Saturday and how are Watford fans going to get to meet Gino?

March 17, 2023 Be Lucky. A Podcast Tribute to Oliver Phillips
Welcome to a very special edition of From the Rookery End.

In February, Watford Football Club lost one of the most important men in it’s history. Oli Phillips covered more than 2,000 Hornets fixtures in his role at the Watford Observer, a career that spanned more than 40 years. This podcast is a tribute to Oli; a bona fide Watford legend.

We hear from friends and colleagues of Oli, as well as two of the players that he’d regularly write about in such a memorable fashion; Tony Coton and John McClelland. As you’ll hear, Oli was extremely well respected, both by those that knew him well, and those that pored over his very word, devouring his weekly work in the Watford Observer every Friday.

Oliver Phillips will forever be a name synonymous with Watford Football Club. This is our small way of marking his quite extraordinary contribution to the club and the town.

Be lucky.

March 14, 2023 Brum Brum Brum - is the handbrake off? - Watford 3-0 Birmingham City
Chris/Chrissy/Christopher/Mr Wilder's first game as Watford Head Coach was not a good game. His second game was a whole heap better. Jon, Mike and Jason (plus a fleeting appearance from DCW) discuss a 3-0 win, against a team lower in the league, with a performance and results we should have seen far more this season. They discuss the players who made an impact on the results and if Chrissy Wilder has lots of headaches in picking the team against Wigan.

They also reflect on your feedback and thoughts about the weekend podcast where they talked through the impact of the decisions of on Gino Pozzo.

Enjoy the win and COME ON YOU ORNS

March 13, 2023 What’s wrong with Gino Pozzo’s Watford?
The Hornets were on the end of another defeat, even with the new Head Coach Chris Wilder, but Jon and Mike do not discuss the 1-0 lose at QPR. This is an honest podcast, where we look back on and exploring the choices of club owner Gino Pozzo - the treatment of players, and their attitudes on and off the pitch, the financial side of the club, plus what are the exact roles of the different members of Watford FC's hierarchy?
We'll be back in the week to look back on two matches under the new Head Coach, but we felt it was too important to leave these topics alone any longer.

Is it a surprise? Is it the right call? Will it make a difference? We discuss it all in this, the latest From the Rookery End.
Take a deep breath, it’s onto the next one. Come on you ‘Orns.
