  • End of season wrap up, with Producer Will

    End of season wrap up, with Producer Will
    May 20 2026
    It’s the final Away Days of the season and Producer Will steps out from behind the laptop to join Woody and Piers for a chaotic look back at the year. There’s talk of Southend’s Wembley glory and managerial heartbreak, Plymouth away days in the spring sunshine, and whether seeing Wealdstone four times in one season should be legally allowed. The lads revisit some of the best stories from the series so far, including Joey Page’s hellish trip to Madrid, Charlie Baker’s Babacombe Model Village campaign, Terry Alderton’s unbelievable Marc Bosnich story, and the ongoing mystery of why Mark Bosnich was also spotted tenpin bowling on his own. There’s also football espionage, cancelled playoff finals, fake COVID inspectors, terrible hangovers, playoff heartbreak, and the emotional damage caused by loving football clubs. A fittingly rambling end to another season of Away Days. ⁠Please do buy us a coffee ⁠to help the podcast grow.

  • Jon Beer - Is this the bleakest away day of all time?

    Jon Beer - Is this the bleakest away day of all time?
    May 13 2026
    This week, Woody and Piers are joined by Jon Beer, Exeter City fan and co-host of You Don’t Know What You’re Doing, for one of the bleakest away day stories the show has ever heard. There’s plenty on lower-league obsession, Devon derby anxiety, Ollie Watkins pride, fan-owned football, why nobody needs a “Prem team”, and the strange burden of caring far too much about 11 men in shorts. Jon also explains why his family once travelled to Wembley during Covid to watch Exeter lose a play-off final on a laptop outside the stadium. A truly heroic low point. ⁠Please do buy us a Coffee ⁠to help the podcast grow.

  • From the San Siro to Penrith - Felix White (Part Two)

    From the San Siro to Penrith - Felix White (Part Two)
    May 6 2026
    Felix White returns for part two, taking Woody and Piers from the San Siro’s terrifyingly organised ultras to Penrith’s very accommodating chairman, via MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon, FA Cup romance, away goals, train etiquette, service station literature and why being a Fulham fan feels very different to being a cricket fan. There’s also playoff heartbreak for Piers, end-of-season maths for Woody, a cow-based football injury, David Platt appreciation, and a question every football fan needs to worry about: home games or away days forever?

  • Felix White Hates Man United, Loves Fulham (Part One)

    Felix White Hates Man United, Loves Fulham (Part One)
    Apr 29 2026
    Felix White joins Woody and Piers for Part 1 of a brilliant chat about Fulham, first away days, Craven Cottage, the strange comfort of supporting a club that lets you suffer properly, and why football can explain who you are before you’ve even worked it out yourself. Before that, Piers is deep in playoff anxiety, Woody is doing mathematical gymnastics, and the boys relive the chaos, limbs and full-body drama of Rochdale v York City, possibly the greatest away day of all time. Part 2 with Felix continues next week. ⁠Please do buy us a coffee to help the podcast grow.

  • The A to Z of Away Days - J - St Johnstone, Juventus and Jamshedpur

    The A to Z of Away Days - J - St Johnstone, Juventus and Jamshedpur
    Apr 22 2026
    This week, Piers and Woody take the letter J to some very interesting places. First up it is St Johnstone, where the chat includes Perth, purpose-built stadiums, questionable celebrity fans and the sort of away day logistics that can make or break a Scottish football weekend. Then it is on to Turin and Juventus, with grand history, glamour, Notts County roots, and the very real possibility of Piers accidentally planning an Italian minibreak entirely around pasta classes and Irish pubs. And then things head to India. Thanks to former player Peter Hartley, the lads get a glimpse into life at Jamshedpur, where football is huge, the crowds are massive, and the local wildlife seems fully committed to ruining your sleep. Geckos in wardrobes, ants on Dairy Milk and giant snakes make this one of the weirdest and most entertaining Away Days detours yet. ⁠Please do buy us a coffee ⁠to help the podcast grow.
