January 09, 2025StonesCast Episode 68 - January 2025"I'm well known around the club..." Happy New Year folks and welcome back to the cast. Let's get down to business! Part One 00:00We kick off this episode with the famous Wycombe FA Cup ticket wind-up that our caster Alex endured earlier this season, and it's a gold plated wind-up that everybody should know about. Then we get down to the nuts and bolts as we look back at Oldham away, Daggers at home, and the Magpies away. We discuss the Eastmond Factor, the Boston PP on NYD, and pay homage to Alex Reid and the impact he made during his loan period with us. Where do we go from here? Part Two 55:30 Then moving on we discussed our centre back partnership, and we wave goodbye to a few players either leaving or returning to their parent clubs after their loan are up. We look back over the first half of the season and discuss if we're happy or not with where we are, and then look back at our highlights of 2024. There were some humdingers to reminisce about. And finally a quick look forwards to Alty and Sutton away, and to Hartlepool at ome which is our designated Her Game Too fixture of the season, a campaign we feel strongly about and completely support. This time it's Sudhir as the ring leader of the circus featuring Alex, Dave and Jez....more1h 40minPlay
December 12, 2024StonesCast Episode 67 - December 2024"He's one of those players who gets better when he isn't playing" It's a middle-youth take over Xmas cast that we have for you this time, featuring a bunch of young scallywags. Well we say "young" but it's quite plain to see using the word "youth" to describe this lot is somewhat of a mental leap of faith. But anyway, they've got things to say, and it isn't the usual bunch of old fogies and their tales of the 50's or other ancient periods of our clubs illustrious history. It's straight into looking back at the FAC game against Wycombe, the NLC game against Derby, exit at the Shots in the FAT and the six goal NL thriller under the lights against our old sparring partners Alty. Once again the keeper situation gets an airing, and it's frankly bonkers how this seems to be coming up every other episode this season. What on earth is going on? And then we look forwards to the trip to Oldham this Saturday and the upcoming festive fixtures against Daggers, Magpies and the Pilgrims do get your turkey juices running. It's a packed room as we squeeze 6 (six) oiks into the room and try to get some sense out of them. It's Chris doing his best to keep order of Akhil, Tom, Nikhil, Rob and Leo. ...more1h 14minPlay
November 28, 2024StonesCast Episode 66 - November 2024"In my fantasy wet dream..." Cup fever hits the cast with the hotly anticipated FA Cup 2nd Round fixture against high flying Wycombe Wanderers hoving into view on the horizon. But first, it's a quick catch up on our recent games against Rochdale and Eastleigh and our much improved points tally and performances. Then the bulk of the cast gets understandably onto the subject of Saturday as the excitement builds. We look at the huge task ahead of us as we face a Wycombe side that is in impressive form. What makes them tick and so dangerous, and what do we do to counter that. Also there's mentions about previous early morning kick-offs deep from the clubs history. And in closing there's the much more important fixture against Derby in the NLC and Aldershot in the Trophy to get you all salivating in anticipation! Tim is in the chair, aided and abetted by Adam, Rio and River. They're all buzzing for the weekend, but then again, who isn't?...more1h 3minPlay
November 12, 2024StonesCast Episode 65 - November 2024" A few precious gems set in amongst the impenetrable quartz..." Which, let's be fair, sums up most of our casts if we're honest. We're back, and there's not much to really talk about so this should be a quick one. So let's not beat about the bush and get a wiggle on! Part 1 00:00 First up it's meet the newbie as we get good old Cookie (no, not that one, everyone's second favourite Wealdstone related Cookie) to open his heart and briefly tell us his backstory. Then onto the nuts and bolts. The away FAC game at Grimsby which started out on paper as a bit of a damp squib, and turned into one of the great Stones away days, And then the trip to Shots last Saturday and our well deserved 3 points there. Plus there's the NLC game midweek against Fulham. Exciting stuff! Part 2 35:00 Onto the previews with matches against Dale at home, Eastleigh away and then Tamworth at home. We have a look at recent player developments as Dreher departs, Hutch and Scotty go out on loan, and Dion is recalled. Also, what's the situation with Sam in the sticks? Questions are asked about the clubs communication when it comes to such matters. And finally, it's looking forwards to Wycombe at home in the cup, on the telly, at stupid o'clock in the morning. What do we all think about that then? Also, Pete reminds us all about the elephant in the room. It's been a year since the new stadium plans were announced, and there's been scant news? Is anything happening? We assume it must but it would be nice to hear something official from the club just to reassure the fan base, and something with more reach than a small post on the fans forum. More comms please! Hydey is back in the hot seat for tonight's episode, with regulars PA Pete, Rob and fresh blood Paul giving their take on things. Oh, and what sounds like Bob Fleming in the background chipping in when he should be googling instead. We just can't get the staff....more1h 17minPlay
October 31, 2024StonesCast Episode 64 - October 2024"It's a results business..." We're back in the Captains Lounge for another episode of Wealdstone related cosy fire side chat! In this cast: We look back at the highs and lows of the recent games against Gosport, Yeovil, Braintree and Ebbsfleet and ask questions about our game management abilities.Are we now seeing what we think is our strongest 11, and are the dynamic duo of Reid and Ashford going to be the catalyst to a resurgence in our fortunes on the pitch? Then it's all eyes North as the lure of the Cup pokes its head over the horizon, and the Stones faithful hit the road to Grimsby. After that a quick look towards the upcoming fixtures arriving in the next few weeks including the mouth watering game against Fulham U21's and who we're almost certainly going to draw in the 2nd and 3rd round as it's written in the stars obviously! It's a combo of axe wielding and happy clapping this episode, as Chris is chief justice of our kangaroo court of Luca, Jez and Dave. But who is on which side of the fence?...more1h 19minPlay
October 08, 2024StonesCast Episode 63 - October 2024"I feel physically sick just thinking about it!" It's been a testing couple of weeks for everyone, so let our chaps take you back and remind you just how testing it can be following this club, eh? Who wouldn't want that fun? In this episode: Part 1 00:00 Tim is actually a first time guest on the cast, so as a newbie he has to fill us in on his Stones credentials. It's the law after all. Then it's on to business as we look back at the last 3 games against Southend, Halifax and Gateshead, and in particular how late goals are killing us so far this season. Part 2 47:00 The somewhat sticky subject of how Matt Taylors tenure at the club so far has gone, and is it understandable that in some corners of the fanbase there's rumblings of the guillotine being mentioned. Are the justified? Does he stay or does he go, and if he does stay how long has he got to turn things around? There's also the reasonable statement that not scoring goals is as big a problem for us as conceding them late on, so what do we do about that? Plus we look forwards to the next 4 fixtures, which we all think could be pivotal for both the club, and the managerial team. Sudhir is in the hot seat hosting for the first time since Season 1, with every mum's favourite teacher Alex, everyone's favourite Rawal Akhil, and everyone's favourite Fleet Street hack Tim giving their thoughts on everything Wealdstone....more1h 31minPlay
September 26, 2024StonesCast Episode 62 - September 2024"Non-sensical ramblings" We've loads to chew over in this episode as the early season scramble of games carries on relentlessly, so let's get straight down to business. Part 1 00:00 Our traditional review of the games we've played since the last edition. It's the disappointment of York (H) and Woking (A), the fun and games at FGR (A), the derby day defeat against Barnet (H), and finally the highs and lows of Southend (H). The question gets asked, it the "down the hill" thing an actual thing, or not a thing? Part 2 49:45 It's onto the previews of the elite away trip to Halifax, and some what less epic Gateshead (A). We welcome back Sam Howes and cast an eye over the new addition of Elliot Thorpe. Then it's the arrival of the National League Cup, of which some are less welcoming than others, especially with the way the competition came into existence and with what the underlying motives of the Premiership clubs might be. Closing out we discuss what Georgiou has to do to get a game, is Taylor too much of a tinkerer, and just like the "down the hill" thing, is the "midweek under the lights" thing also a thing? There's a lot to "thing" about and it's down to Mark Hyde to heard the cats this week, with Hillsy, McMiserable and Riv the ones having the kittens....more1h 33minPlay
September 04, 2024StonesCast Episode 61 - September 2024"Sorry Freddie..." Another chocker episode of every single person in the Worlds favourite Wealdstone podcast is coming right at ya! Let's see what we've got in store for you this time. Part 1 00:00It's a welcome back to one of our once proper youth casters, Sammy Ellis who gets his first senior cap in the big leagues, so we briefly catch up on his back story, then it's onto business. Reviews a plenty as it's a look back to the games against Sutton, Hartlepool, Fylde and Solihull, and there's an understandable positivity in the air. We celebrate two "500 ups!" in our ranks, discuss the latest loanee signings and ask whether there should be more transparency regarding the injury situation of our squad. Part 2 50:40 It's onto the previews as a chock full of games are coming up. It's a deeper delve into York, Woking and FGR, before looking further ahead at the games against Barnet and Southend. We celebrate hitting 1,000 season tickets and close out by looking at the lows and highs of our fans away from home. It's Tim holding the fort despite his obvious dementia starting to kick in, with Dave, Leo and Zac (or is it Freddie?) having all the opinions. ...more1h 32minPlay
August 20, 2024StonesCast Episode 60 - August 2024"Tuesday, under the lights..." Your super soaraway Stonescast is back for episode 2 of the new season, and the games now start coming thick and fast. In this episode we look back at the opening two games at Daggers and home to Oldham and discuss how our points tally could look a lot different if it wasn't for small margins. Then, coming over the hill we've got Sutton, Pools, Fylde and Solihul is quick succession in a tough open passage of games which could see us in a happy place, or easily looking down the barrels of the relegation zone. Missing players are a problem, but what about our striking options, and is our keeper up to the task? There's very much a difference of opinion in this episode which ring master Paul keeping the peace (or not in some cases) between Cameron, Alex and newbie Aaron. ...more1h 16minPlay

Part 2 39:15 It's time to preview the new season, who do we think will be the genuine title contenders, who will be relegation candidates, and where we think we're going to finish. Then we look forwards to the away game at Daggers on Saturday, followed by Oldham at the Vale a week later. And closing it's the new TV deal with DAZN and what's been happening locally over the summer and ask what progress has been made, if any, on the new stadium. It's Chris in the chair with Jes, Riv and Sudhir coming atcha with all the hot takes....more1h 18minPlay
