Please Don't Take Me Home

This week on Away Days with Woody & Piers, the boys are joined by Tommy, lead singer of Only The Poets and a lifelong Reading FC supporter. Tommy shares the story of his very first away day, when the designated driver left him badly out of pocket, and explains why he can’t stand it when fans (including his own bandmates) don’t back their local team. There’s also a rather gruesome moment where Piers reveals the time a straight red card left him caught short.

Broadcaster and writer Adrian Chiles joins Woody and Piers to share his lifelong passion for West Bromwich Albion and the emotional highs and (seemingly numerous) lows of being a football fan. From a nightmare away day at Reading to getting in lifts with celebrities, dad dancing with Royalty and why you should never leave a match early, Adrian opens up about the match day rituals, the psychology of supporting a club, and the friendships that make football more than just a game. A funny, heartfelt and relatable conversation about what it really means to follow your team through thick and thin.

It’s the Away Days end of season review! Woody and Piers are joined by Producer Will for a look back at the highs, lows, and chaos of Season One, and the football season that came with it. Will reveals what happened when he went undercover at West Ham, relives a deeply embarrassing moment involving Guestimators host Andy Bush and Jos Buttler, and shares his wishlist for future away days. The lads also dive into their own personal highlights (and horror shows) from the podcast season and the terraces, and somehow end up connecting Paul Weller to a notorious Surrey dogging site.

This week, broadcaster and football obsessive Caroline Barker (Sky Sports, WSL, BBC) joins Woody & Piers to share her deep love for Chelmsford City – the club she supports and helps run from the boardroom. From the time she celebrated six goals only to realise they'd lost the game, to her tales of groundhopping madness and what really goes on behind the scenes at a non-league club, Caroline brings passion, laughs and proper football knowledge in spades. If you've ever wondered what it’s like to be part of the heartbeat of your local team, or just want tips on where to get the best beer and food on the away trail in Chelmsford, this is the episode for you.

This week on Away Days, Woody and Piers are joined by the brilliant Jono Yates – the man behind Only Scrans and Scran Away.

Jono serves up stories from the stands and some epic food adventures, from devouring a frankly ludicrous amount of food in Rochdale to singing the praises of Marseille’s matchday meals and slamming Old Trafford’s pathetic paninis. We also get his unfiltered take on Manchester United’s decline, and why he reckons City fans struggle to fill Wembley.

Expect a very tasty episode.
