What was all the worry about? United's unbeaten start continues as they record back-to-back wins for the first time this season in a Bank Holiday double-header - though the six goals scored weren't exactly evenly spread across the two games.

The narrow victory over Wealdstone followed by the battering of Braintree Town at Brunton Park leaves United in third place in the table after five games - can they keep up the momentum this weekend with a first-ever win at early strugglers Sutton United?

Lots discussed in this episode, including:

👍 Wealdstone win review

🖐️ Braintree win review

🔍 Opposition chat with Joe from Sutton United Talk Time on Podcast

After the disappointment of the draw with Boreham Wood, it was hoped that the visit of Solihull would get a response out of United, but it was a flat performance from the Blues as they were held to a draw by the Midlands side in an encounter that won't stay long in the memory with regards to entertainment factor.

Though as we've been saying, games are coming thick and fast at the start of the season and Mark Hughes' side have the chance to respond quickly this weekend as they face a Bank Holiday double-header against Wealdstone and Braintree..

A little bit of a bump back down to earth for United as their opening day win at Woking is followed by a draw against a decent Boreham Wood side - but having led 3-1 with twelve minutes to go, there's big questions over the return of defensive frailties that have dogged the Blues for the last two seasons.

But there's a quick chance for United to respond as the early season games come thick and fast, with Solihull Moors coming to Brunton Park for their first ever fixture against the Cumbrians.

One down, 45 (or 43 - sorry Morecambe) to go!

Things couldn't have gone much better for United as they picked up a comfortable three points to open the campaign in the Surrey sunshine last weekend - a professional performance that could be the blueprint for many away trips this season?

After the win over Woking, it's time to renew acquaintances with our friends from Boreham Wood in the opening home fixture of the season - hopefully there will be a lot less discussion about kettles and "orange" juice this time around.

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the 2-0 win over Woking before looking ahead to the first game at Brunton Park since April - lots discussed including:

After what has felt like a very long summer, proper football is back as United get their National League campaign underway this weekend at Woking!

That of course, means it's time for the first preview episode of the season and the lads are together to discuss the opening day clash in Surrey. Alongside chat about interest facts, including how H.G. Wells, KFC and Death all have a link to the town of Woking. Well worth a listen I reckon.

There's just a few days to go until the start of the new campaign, so it's time for our Season Preview episode! This time of course, we are going into a bit of the unknown, as United play in the National League for the first time in 20 years - so long ago, that it wasn't even called the National League back then!

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we chat about some of the main contenders for promotion this season, who will struggle near the bottom and who is destined for mid-table obscurity, alongside United's overall chances and our infamously bad predictions.

After enjoying a month off, the Bugle is back to discuss what's been happening at Brunton Park during pre-season as the Blues get ready for their first season at National League level in 20 years. Can Mark Hughes repeat what Paul Simpson did back in 2005, and get his side back into the league at the first attempt?

It's certainly been a busy month in July, with comings and goings at Brunton Park and other major announcements - plenty covered in this week's recording including:

⚽ Pre-season fixture round-up

It's been a few weeks since we last record, but it's certainly been a busy one for the Blues despite the season being over and the players having only just returned to pre-season training this week - signings, departures, staff appointments and the internal review - lots to cover!

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Dan and Nick - it's the last episode of the 24/25 season so we'll be taking a short break now and returning in a couple of weeks when the fixtures are released. Thanks for your brilliant support this season, UTBs!

It's been a while, but we're finally back with a post-season news round-up - and there's plenty to cover in this episode.

The big news of course was the confirmation that Mark Hughes would remain in the hotseat for United's first season at National League level in 20 years - can he build on the decent home-form at the end of the campaign and get United back to the EFL at the first attempt?

United brought their current spell in the EFL to an end last weekend with a valiant 2-2 draw against Salford City - a result that ruined the Ammies hopes of a play-off place. A solid end to a fairly wretched campaign for the Blues - with non-league football on the horizon for next season, what lies next for the club?

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we chat about the final day draw and discuss some of the news that has come out of the club this week, as we await news on Mark Hughes' future and the retained list. Lots discussed including:
