Please Don't Take Me Home

This episode, stand up, writer, actor, Pro Evo twitcher and Arsenal season ticket holder Bilal Zafar joins Piers and Woody for a chat.

Bilal co-hosts the brilliant Got A Problem Mate (GAPM) podcast, and although he has not clocked up loads of away trips, the ones he has done come with brilliant stories from Ewood Park, the Etihad and beyond.

The lads also get into the awkwardness of seeing the people you sit near at football out in the real world, and they try to decide once and for all whether a tonking is bigger than a mauling.

This week, broadcaster and lifelong Wrexham fan Bryn Law joins Piers and Woody for a heartfelt and funny trip through his years on the road. Bryn talks with real passion about following Wrexham long before Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney made it cool, reporting on Leeds through their highs and lows, and the time he got carsick on the way to the City Ground for a match that ended up being postponed anyway.

He also shares tales from a weekend in Amsterdam with a brutal final result, and reflects on what it means to back your club when nothing else in the city seems to be going right.

Away Days welcomes its first ever double guests as Ross McNae and Sam McTrusty from Twin Atlantic join Woody and Piers. Ross is Celtic, Sam is Rangers, and somehow the two of them manage to keep things civil as they trade stories about football, touring and beyond.

Piers recalls travelling to Oldham with a stranger he met on the internet, Sam reveals the extreme lengths he once went to during a Twin Atlantic show to avoid hearing a Rangers result, and the lads compare derby loyalties with life on the road. Plus, there is another update from our listeners at Brantham, currently making a strong case for being the worst club in Britain.

Football (and Gladiators) commentary legend Guy Mowbray joins Woody and Piers for a proper away-day chat. A lifelong York City F.C. fan (living within walking distance from his club), Guy opens up on the realities of commentating from old-school stadium gantries (and his strong bladder), why taking his daughter to a 0-0 can still feel like magic, how his garden ended up with stadium seats and the moment José Mourinho surprised Marine during an FA Cup tie.

Plus we hear from our resident Brantham fan.

Writer, musician and "Scottish internet man" JJ Bull joins Woody and Piers for an Aberdeen-flavoured Away Days. JJ talks about the benefits of working the food stalls at Pittodrie, gets defensive about half and half scarves, and discusses the craft of turning niche football references into viral smashes, and the beautiful nonsense of quickfire red cards.

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.

Comedian and presenter Charlie Baker joins Woody and Piers for a gloriously chaotic episode of Away Days.

A proud Torquay United fan, Charlie reveals his campaign to get Torquay reinstated at Wembley… inside a local model village. He also explains why he no longer eats gluten (spoiler: it involves a wetsuit), swaps wild West Country stories with Woody, and recalls an unforgettable week in Argentina with England legend Peter Shilton.

This episode, the lads are joined by broadcaster, DJ and presenter James Threlfall MBE. Known for his work with the BBC, 433 Football and Formula 1, James has travelled the world covering some of the biggest events in sport and culture.

He chats about how his love for Tottenham Hotspur came later in life, the time he lost both his luggage and his dignity on an away trip, and why Carnival mixed with football in Cologne is one of his all-time favourite experiences.

The trio also dive into James’s inspiring new podcast Sports Greatest Underdogs, which celebrates some of the UK’s most iconic ‘sporting underdogs’, their personal struggles, their determination, and how they made sporting history against all odds.

This week on Away Days, Woody and Piers are joined by Faris from The Horrors, lifelong Blackburn Rovers fan and frontman of one of Britain’s most iconic bands.
