Reading through and through. Matt Thomson from The Amazons joins Woody and Piers to talk hometown loyalty, away days and why Michael Owen still lives rent free in his head. Matt explains how Reading walk out to The Amazons’ “Black Magic,” and compares an away end to a Springsteen gig. There are stories from Stoke, Watford and a soul-sapping Coventry 0–0, ground-ticking rules, Barcelona dreams, Boca v River and a chat about old stadiums versus new.

The band are on tour now, with dates including London’s Roundhouse, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and more. Check out their website for more details.
