Under The Abbey Stand

Away days are back. And this one involved a mile-long queue, a fantastic goal, and a feeling that the U’s might just have come away with all three points on another day. United headed to Bromley for the second game of the campaign and left with a point after an entertaining 1-1 draw that left fans with positives from the game but seem urgent business to do in the transfer window too. Tom, Jules and Matt are on reviewing duties to look back over the game.

It’s the second Preview Show of the season, and a look ahead to the first away game of the season. That takes United to Hayes Lane to face Bromley in their second ever third tier football match. Jord and Matt are on this week’s show to look ahead to how United might line up to face a side we shouldn’t underestimate.

First game back in League One, first three points, and the first league Review Pod of the season. What a way to start the week. United beat Wigan 3-2 and made what could have been a very straightforward afternoon much more nerve racking than anyone wanted. Tom and Jules are on the pod talking over all the goals and talking points.

Welcome back! Did you miss us? The first Preview Show of the season is here, and Jules and Jack are on the case with plenty to talk about: the fans forum (famously not the AGM), United’s new goalkeeper, and the small task of the first game of the League One season. The legendary Barry Worthington joined to give us a preview of the Latics.

It’s nearly the eve of the new season, and that means predictions time. Tom, Jules, Matt and Swindle are on the bumper panel this week, looking ahead to a return to League One for United. They go through the current squad and discuss its strengths and weaknesses, before making a series of predictions from top goalscorer to how many points we’ll get versus Posh alongside the UTAS website contributors.

It’s not quite pre-season, and it’s not quite proper league action. But there’s nothing better than starting the season off with a win as United come from behind to beat a well-fancied Barnet side with goals from Knight and new boy Heath. Swindle and Jord have season debut duties of their own as they’re on the first Review Show of the 26/27 season to look back over the game.

Our Season Preview shows and articles will be rolling out this week, so make sure you’re subscribed wherever you get your pods to not miss an episode!

It’s the third and final instalment of UTAS on tour in Spain. On this episode Tom and Jules report live from the Preston friendly, trying and failing to stay out of the baking temperatures, chatting about the 1-0 win and reviewing their time in Murcia.

Thank you everyone for listening, it’s been brilliant to be able to bring people along for the ride who couldn’t make it and get some great insight into the club along the way.

Two and a half years after the first one, UTAS finally get their wish and secure the second interview with United’s Proper Geezer. Over in a sweltering Spain, Tom and Jules got the chance to sit down with manager Neil Harris to discuss the World Cup, last season’s success and look ahead to the next year in League One.

Day two is here, and if you haven’t noticed it’s hot. Today, Tom and Jules went down to watch the U’s train in the midday heat, and then got the chance to chat to Dom Ball, Kell Watts and Pelly Ruddock. They chatted about where the success of last season came from and what to expect from the next in League One. The Neil Harris interview will be live in the morning before the last part of the daily pods live from the Preston game.
