  • TESTIMONIAL WEEK: Super Danny Graham

    Our testimonial week continues with an interview the man who was the first star player when the podcast began - Danny Graham. In the first season of FTRE, Watford were punching above their weight. Off the field the it was a turbulent time with low budgets and cost cutting where ever possible. On the pitch, Malky Mackay and the players lead by John Eustace did an amazing to survive in the Championship. And it was Danny Graham and his 27 goals that gave the team that edge it needed.

    Jon. Mike and Jason caught up with Danny to talk about his time before, during and after Watford. His flame shone bright but brief at Vicarage Road but it burnt ever so importantly.

  • TESTIMONIAL WEEK: Youth & Old Age - Nick Cox & Barry From Watford
    In our second special podcast created to celebrate From the Rookery End’s tenth birthday, we talk to friend of the podcast, Nick Cox. Nick is currently Head of Academy at Manchester United and has also had a successful stint at Sheffield United, but here he talks to us about the 12 years he spent with Watford, including heading up the Academy at an extraordinarily difficult and turbulent time.

    If Nick is all about the youth, Watford’s favourite octogenarian is at the other end of the age spectrum. In a bonus interview, we talk to “Barry from Watford” about his views on the Hornets and a few other subjects too...

  • Watford FC in 100 Objects: 21 to 30

    From the Rookery End's search for 100 objects that define life as a Watford supporter and the history of the club continues, with this podcast featuring objects 21-30. 

    We hear about a sticker album, a beer, three objects relating to a footballers body (only one for aesthetic reasons and one is particularly very painful, a place you're not meant to go, the noisiest thing ever to enter a football ground, a fanzine and a very special team sheet. 

    Brought to you by the Athletic, this is Watford in 100 Objects by From the Rookery End!

  • LIVE COMMENTARY: West Ham v Watford (but not really)

    No, the football season isn't back. However, the football season hasn't stopped in this magical FTREland of Premier League football. This week, as they should have been, the Hornets are off to the London Stadium to face West Ham, for what many see as the last possible points of the season, Man City and Arsenal next. 

    The Golden Boys sit on 37 points and the Hammers are down in the relegation battle with us.

    Colin is back with full 90 minutes of commentary with a special French co-host. You'll recognise him straight away.

    We'll back back with real live football soon, but for now...

  • Success, Failure and The Future
    Being a football fan, especially a Watford one, is always surrounded by success, failure and the prospect of a bright future. So on this episode of the award winning From The Rookery End, Jon, Mike and the Athletic's Watford FC correspondent Adam Leventhal gather to discuss just that. Who would has been the player of the season, was Nathan 'Duke' Ellington really a failure and with hot talent like Ishmila Sarr, what is our future going to be like in the Pozzo scouting network?

    We also talk to the Club's Supporter Liaison Officer, Dave Messenger, to find out what's going on at Vicarage Road in a reverse of support and give help to the NHS and Watford General Hospital.

    With no football on the pitch you'll be surprised at how much there is to discuss!

    COME ON YOU ORNS!

  • LIVE COMMENTARY: Watford v Newcastle (but not really)

    It's another Saturday without football, so here we go with another imaginary commentary from Colin.

    We really hope these fun, some may say silly, commentaries give you some sort of feeling of there being a football match on the radio and it being a normal Saturday afternoon.

    COME ON YOU ORNS!!!
