Stonescast

Mark Hyde hosts the youthful panel with Tom Marshall, Luca Rosetto and (at times) River Dobson-Wallace to chew over the worst kept secret in football following the second-coming of Sam Cox as Wealdstone manager. The guys also look at the retained list which was published shortly after the Cox announcement with a few towards next season.

In the final episode of the 2024/25 special, Hillsy and Sudhir sit down again with (acting chairman) Dominic Whyley and Darren Linden from the Stones board.

We look back at the season to assess its merits, reacting to the news of the departures of Neil Gibson and Lee Jones and whether the move to a hybrid operating model has been a success.

There is a long discussion about the current situations with the lease at Grosvenor Vale and progress of a new ground and the associated and required investment.

As always it’s an engaging and insightful 90 minutes and we’re hugely thankful to Dom and Darren for their time.

Up the Stones!!

It's time to bring the curtain down on another rollercoaster ride of a season as Hillsy, Jez Albert, Sudhir Rawal, Paul Cooke and Mike Renny chew over the fat of a turbulent 9 months at Grosvenor Vale. 

There's a guest appearance from Max Kretzschmar who kindly joins us whilst on his holidays in Greece and the fabled end of season awards including best away day, best pub and best limbs of the season.

Well well, do we have a coup for you! 

In this special episode of the cast we are honoured to be joined by Neil Gibson and Lee Jones, AKA the Wealdstone FC Management team to discuss the season that's just passed, the future of the club, where we go from here and their philosophies regarding the way they want the club to progress and the way we play the beautiful game. 

It's an absolute treat for our listerners to hear the candid, open and honest opinions of both Neil and Lee, and to discover what the future holds for the club. It's very rare to be allowed such an insight into what goes on behind the scenes at a National League club, and the trial, tribulations, and wranglings that have to happen for it all to work, especially at a club with relatively little resources compared to it's peers. 

Is this a "must listen"? You shouldn't even need to ask! It's a stellar episode if we say it ourselves. Asking the questions are Adam and Sudhir.

Just 48 hours after the most dramatic of conclusions to our National League season, the panel of Hillsy, Alex Kilroy, Dave Reader and Mickey Kane reflect on Wealdstone retaining their National League status by the skin of their teeth. There's even a little cameo from Stones legend Jack Cook who joins to share his experience with the final weeks of the season.

There's poetry, technical issues and the general nonsense spoken...but who cares...

WE ARE STAYING UP!!!

In episode 76, the panel is hosted by Mark Hyde with River Dobson-Wallace, Paul Cooke and Ashley Fairman (making his cast debut) chewing over the Barnet, Boston and Maidenhead games and then looking ahead to the pivotal final fixtures at Southend and then at home to Halifax.

Chris Lane is in the chair for Stonescast 75 and is joined by Leo Werin, Luca Rossetto and long time Stones fan and once player (of course he mentioned that) Don Cross in his debut on the Cast. Brilliant wins against Boston and Forest Green followed the injury ravaged loss to York and the casters reflect on the impact of goal machine Alex Reid as he reaches 20 goals for the season. Overall everybody was optimistic about the Stones' chance of staying up, with the upcoming Easter weekend matches against Boston and Maidenhead likely to be season defining. We lost Leo for a bit but he came back so it was very much like a standard Stones away day!

In this latest StonesCast special, Hillsy sits down Stones legends Jonathan North, Sean Cronin, Wes Parker and Jonny Wright to look back at the evolution of Gordon Bartlett's Wealdstone side following the move to Grosvenor Vale in 2008.

We discuss what brought and then kept the players at the club, the amazing FA Trophy run of 2011-12, two bouts of playoff heartache and then finally reaching the promised land of the National League in 2013-14.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with some dramatic games and crucially some points on the board. Yet it still hands so finely in the balance and with a tough run of fixtures coming up...not to mention a hugely depleted squad...the panel of Adam Hills, Dave Leech, Dave Reader and Alex Gordon run the rule over our chances of survival.

In this episode our panel discuss the games against Tamworth and Rochdale, the recent "Meet the Manager" night at the Vale, before looking back at Gibson's time in charge at the club, before closing by looking at our upcoming fixtures.

Frankers hosts, with Tom Marshall, Chris Cone and debutant Warren Ladd giving their opinions.
