This week sees us do a ‘Wellington Special’ Pubcast at the Backbencher will our panel made up from members and organisers of the Wellington Phoenix Ýellow Army’

It was certainly cold down there with temps never above 18 but the warm welcome we recieved from both the fans and the pub certainly made it into a fantastic trip

Our friends at @FFDU are back with episode 12 of their own Austalian based Pubcast…

Well Ep 12 in the can and we talk our UK team Gillinghams superb run, the farce that is the new body ‘Football Australia’, Johnny returns with his ‘on this day if it was yesterday’, Gold Coast exit so who will Jane now go for, Chelsea have a shocker and we get Arsenal totally wrong, forget the Euro’s as Lee wants Olympic victory plus plenty of other football banter etc from the team fueling up on Miller at Cheers Bar, Sydney – gotta love a Sunday afternoon!

The Football Pubcast celebrated its Platinum Jubilee in style this week… with a few pints and some lively chat about all things football. It’s a packed show and as the sun came out one Pubcaster struggled to keep his cool, resulting in some very dirty looks from a near-by restaurant. Also making the show this week

• Midweek International round-up

• Race discrimination

• North London derby

After Ep10 got recorded then lost in techno heaven we are pleased to be back, at last the food challenge met it’s match in Celtic’s Paul Lygate, Johnny goes awol but does submit his Gillingham stat, Jess makes a return and Matt’s choice of clothes are somewhat strange, we discuss Gold Coast, Gillingham, Europa, SPL with Paul, Ryan Giggs hits 900, Newcastle plus the usual banter in between

This week the show had a special visit from Jon Mawer, a young man who’s studying for a Business Management degree at Southampton Solent University. After recovering from the shock of a student actually getting a round of drinks in, the Pubcaster’s settled down to take part in a special focus group. The official remit was “To investigate supporter attitudes towards commercialisation in English professional football”. A normal service will resume in next weeks show… for now we’ll let you decide how closely we managed to stuck to this official premise

This week the Pubcaster’s braved the cold with an alfresco recording in the shadow of Canary Wharf. An early revelation from Stuart certainly put a cat among the pigeons, as he told us his pet sat down to watch Blackpool v Pompey on Saturday evening. A tail he even provided photo evidence of! There was hardly time to paws for thought in a packed show that includes…
