"Gone through some rabbit hole in space..."
We're back and there's a lot of misery to chew over the last couple of weeks.
In this episode of your favourite Wealdstone Podcast:
Part 1 00:00
We look back at the defeats against, errr, pretty much everyone. Wood in the FAC, Dorking, Notts and Daggers in the NL, and our change in fortunes away at Alty.
Not scored a first half goal in 12 games. Gulp.
Dyer in or Dyer out?
The latest additions to the squad and their impact.
Plus Tim's non-league football memoirs (part 1)
Part 2 25:25
Whoopie the games just get easier with Chesterfield and Wrexham on the horizon!
Speaking of which, who are the better side, Notts or Wrexham?
Oldham being moved, and other match scheduling nonsense during the World Cup.
Part 3 39:25
Fun on away coaches (fun being a matter of opinion here).
Staying resolutely behind the Management Team, and the uptick in our "shithousery" game.
Plus the usual off on a tangent stuff that goes around and comes around.
It's Tim back in the hosts hot seat, and he's joined by regulars Jez and Tom, plus the return of sensible talking Mark McMiserable to bring some level headedness to the debate.

"We'll edit it down to five minutes..."
Welcome to the next episode of the cast, and if we're being honest this might be one that takes two bites of the cherry to get through. Is it a bumper one? Oh, yessiree it is!
Mark is back in the chair, ably assisted by wingman Chris and we have two newbies along as guests, Chris Woods - the clubs media head honcho, and Pete Worby - long term fan and former "has done virtually every job at the club" hero.
Part 1 00:00
We meet Chris and here all about his background and what the media team are up to in the background.
Part 2 08:20
Pete takes the baton, and runs with it!
50+ years following the club, and in direct involvement with its running since 1982 in one way shape or form. Peter has been in some way involved at an official capacity in some of the biggest events that the club has been through in the last 40 years culminating in becoming Vice Chairman, and being one of the "Fantastic Four" who were instrumental in finally bringing us home to the Vale. He has a LOT of stories, and tells most of them here! Even if you think you know everything about this period of the clubs history you are sure to learn something new.
Part 3 38:20
To the nuts and bolt, we look back at the games at Aldershot (A), Solihull (A) and Wood (H) 
Part 4 1:07:15
We preview the upcoming FA Cup trip this Saturday away at Wood (and why just for once why we can perhaps be a little more optimistic about a run in the cup), then the following league fixtures at Dorking (A), Notts (H) and Daggers (A). Will this batch of games give us a better idea of where we actually are this season?
Chock full of the usual chat and nonsense as always! 

16 months ago, a chap with big ideas, bright eyed and bushy tailed, was brought onto the WFC Executive Board to drive our engagement. That gentlemans name was Darren Linden, and before he'd even got his feet under the table at the club we kidnapped him and forced him to appear on the cast and tell us all about what the role entailed (episode 3 and 3 Quarters if you want to go back and listen to it again).
Darren kindly offered to come back a year or so later and tell us all about what's been going on behind the scenes over that period, and give the fans an exclusive expose of what goes on behind the mighty oak doors of the Boardroom. Ok, the slightly flimsy glass panelled doors of the Aquarium Bar if we're being truthful about this.
This is an excellent episode where Darren is his usual open and informative self and we just haven't got the space to shoehorn everything we talked about into the episode description. Rest assured though it's chock full of content and he answers many of the questions that our listeners and Stones fans seem to be regularly asking. 
It's Adam and Sudhir that have him on the rack early on a Sunday morning down at the Vale, and there's sure to be something in here that will open your eyes or surprise you.
We should also at this point thank Watford Women FC for gracefully allowing us to record whilst they were doing their pre-match preparation today, so please forgive us any background hub-bub on the recording!
Pt 1 00:00
Reflection on the last year. We've done well with youth engagement and increasing those numbers, but are we losing the 30 Something fans? Some interesting thoughts on the finances come out as well.
Pt 2 20:10
How much of an impact the club has been making in the community, and why that's so important. Also we're really pushing back into engaging with schools in Harrow and perhaps are a bigger draw than a certain "other club" in the area.
The challenges ahead of us and a positive "new step culture". The "Sutton Model" is one we can definitely reference, whereas that's probably not the case of the other clubs in our division. We're unique so that's why we have to have a unique plan going forward that will work for us.
What do we do if we don't get a new lease that works for us?
Pt3 57:45
The Management Team, and why they're not going anywhere! However, does the Board have a succession plan in place for the time that their dream job does come knocking, with the money available to be able to spirit them away from our arms (God forbid!).
Darren finally explains in black and white how we calculate our attendances!
Absolutely full to the brim of super duper content just for your ears!

"I probably don't want to give this much airtime BUT..."

We're back with a brand new episode that's going to sneak into your eardrums like a fox getting home from a long night out with his mates, who's trying hard not to wake his vixen up.

In Part 1 00:00 we meet new guest caster Dave Leech and hear about his Stones backstory. Then we have a quick chat about the Managers Q&A session after the game on Saturday and worry about other clubs coming in and trying to spirit our lovely boys away from our loving embrace.

Part 2 13:55 It's review time, looking back at the last 3 games against Maidstone (A), Torquay (H) and Southend (H). We were feeling confident at getting a few points out of these only a couple of weeks ago, so why didn't they materialize?

Part 3 38:45 Those pesky Officials! Why are they so bad? Also why are they also so bad even when they've got some big decisions right? Once we've put that World to rights it's a question of atmosphere, or more like lack of it. Did someone mention a drum?

Part 4 56:00 We preview the upcoming games against Aldershot, Solihull and Wood. Are we as confident as we were last time? Then the Elephant in the room of the impeding embarrassing exit from the FA Cup and touch upon the ongoing "Streaming Saga" and the change in the highlights embargo from the National League.

A super scorhio! episode hosted by Adam, with Dave (the one who used to be a referee don'tcha know) , Sudhir (who supposedly used to be a goalkeeper in a previous life) and new guest Dave (the one who most certainly wasn't either a ref or keeper in the past and makes more sense than either of the other two).

"This reactionary nonsense you get..."
And (after an un-forseen break) we're back in the room!
7 games in and we're still in the playoffs. Halcyon days indeed!
In this episode:
Part 1 00:00
In traditional fashion we delve into guest caster Andy Stones backstory, and review, err, well Woking at home in front of the telly cameras.
Part 2 15:20
Looking forwards to Maidstone (A) and Torquay and Southend (H). And goodness the positivity is oozing out of the boys here.  Are we really now looking at game like these as genuinely "winnable"?
Part 3 44:30
Is now the time to re-evaluate where we think we will end up finishing? With the way we're playing is "anything above fourth from bottom" being a bit defeatist? Where do we think we are in the NL pecking order?
Part 4 58:20
With recent events, was it right to call off last weekends football fixtures when numerous other events carried on regardless? Then we ponder the quite strong possibility that the home game against Southend could be a record league crowd for us at the Vale. How the times have changed since we first moved in huh?
And all the usual guff and stuff.
Paul hogs the question masters chair, with sensible, level headed opinions from Leo, Jez and virgin caster Andy.
Yes, we said level headed!
As always, do let us know what you think and any subjects you'd like us to discuss in future episodes on Twitter - @Stonescast85

"I underwhelmed it did I?"
We're back with a new bumper edition! Lots to discuss in the latest show.
Part 1 00:00
We do our usual introduction, and welcome new inductee Will to the cast, find out about his media activities and all about his affinity to home town club Woking.
Part 2 08:30
It's review time, looking back at Halifax (H), Gateshead (A) and Yeovil (H). There's a sense of confidence in the squad with the additions over the close season that perhaps wasn't there in pre-season. Also, those flaming National League match day officials huh? Plus Guvnor is disappointed in missing one of the best goals we've ever scored apparently because of twitter.
Part 3 52:30
The preview section. It's Woking (H) in front of the Telly cameras on Sunday, and we have the lowdown on them from Will, our inside source. Then the trip to Greater Manchester for Altricham (A) - a proper non-league awayday to the former top dogs. Plus are we likely to be getting a couple more loanees in over the next couple of weeks? The boys seem to thing so.
Part 4 1:18:30
The spectre of the dreaded "Live Streaming" is back in the news. The boys have different opinions on the pros and cons of the proposal.
Mark is back in hot seat for this week with as always level headed debate from Gordon and Chris, and a fresh view on things from Will.
As always we'd love to hear your feedback on twitter - @Stonescast85

"There's an element of nerdyism..."
Welcome back Stonesfans it's time for the new episode of the cast hot on the heels of 3 games. In this weeks episode:
Pt1 00:00 The usual introduction and chat to guest caster and club photographer Sir Ronnie Raffle.
Pt2 07:13 We look back over the recent games. In other words we talk about Oldham away and make a passing reference or two to Bromley at home and Eastleigh away. Well there is "THAT goal " to talk about and with the upcoming World Cup how important it is we exploit the lack of top flight fixtures over the same period.
Pt3 39:25 Preview of Halifax and Yeovil at home and the long trip up the A1 to Gateshead.
Pt4 56:15 AoB. The squads development, players who are a conundrum or maybe an enigma, social media engagement and the rise of the WFC Discord which apparently all the kids are now using!
Paul is on the throne with Chris,  Sudhir and Tom Piffle or whatever his name is, making his debut.

"You don't play football on paper..."
Yes kids we're back for a new season and the fun and games start here.
So what bones do we chew over in this episode?
Part 1 - We talk to current Supporters Club Chairman and former Board Member Mark Randall about his work at the club and what the SC brings to the table.
Part 2 (10.15) - We look back over the pre-season results and the players that the MT have brought into the squad.
Part 3 (32.40) - Then it's onto a preview of the upcoming fixtures: Bromley at home followed by Eastleigh and Oldham away and how the SC are continuing to run away coach travel as a non-profit making exercise. We then delve into what  are our casters expectations for the season.
Part 4 (53.30) - Finally it's looking at the heady heights of the title and playoffs, and who do we think "will be right up there..."
It's Adam's turn to be in the hosts hot seat with opinions from Dave, Rob and newbie Mark.

It's time to close the shop, pull down the blinds on the season, and disappear on our holibobs, but before we go let's tie up the loose ends.
We have the usual review of the games at Home to KLT and Away at the Shots and have a few fond memories of our various highlights of the season.
Then it's taking a prod at next year. The retained/released list, and what we need to be looking at doing on and off the pitch over the summer to hopefully have as successful a season coming up as we've just had.
Adam is the ring leader and Mark, Dave, Sudhir, Jez and Chris will be squeezing their opinions into our clown car of debate as Circus Stonescast draws to a close.
Bonus content as Mark and Dave share their extensive knowledge of North West London Industrial Estates with everyone.

We are honoured to have the Stones management team, and Player of the Season in the lounge for this cast.
Tim is joined by Stuart Maynard, Matty Saunders and Jack Cook for what is an honest and candid chat all about last season and the next one that's already fast approaching.
The guys tell us all about the philosophy of what they're trying to do both on and off the pitch, and the process that they're trying to create, whilst Jack gives the player side view of the club.
It's a fantastic chat that every single Stones fan will want to listen to, to get an exclusive inside view of the changing room.
