This week, comedian and Spurs fan Joey Page joins Piers and Woody for one of the wildest Away Days yet. Joey is the other half of the Got A Problem Mate podcast and arrives with what might be the worst away day story we have ever heard, a truly hellish trip to Madrid via Zaragoza that goes rapidly downhill.
Thankfully, there is balance too. Joey relives one of his best football trips, travelling to the Euros in Germany in a camper van with his mates, and shares a brilliantly filthy coach journey up to Newcastle.

This episode, stand up, writer, actor, Pro Evo twitcher and Arsenal season ticket holder Bilal Zafar joins Piers and Woody for a chat.
Bilal co-hosts the brilliant Got A Problem Mate (GAPM) podcast, and although he has not clocked up loads of away trips, the ones he has done come with brilliant stories from Ewood Park, the Etihad and beyond.
The lads also get into the awkwardness of seeing the people you sit near at football out in the real world, and they try to decide once and for all whether a tonking is bigger than a mauling.

This week, broadcaster and lifelong Wrexham fan Bryn Law joins Piers and Woody for a heartfelt and funny trip through his years on the road. Bryn talks with real passion about following Wrexham long before Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney made it cool, reporting on Leeds through their highs and lows, and the time he got carsick on the way to the City Ground for a match that ended up being postponed anyway.
He also shares tales from a weekend in Amsterdam with a brutal final result, and reflects on what it means to back your club when nothing else in the city seems to be going right.

Away Days welcomes its first ever double guests as Ross McNae and Sam McTrusty from Twin Atlantic join Woody and Piers. Ross is Celtic, Sam is Rangers, and somehow the two of them manage to keep things civil as they trade stories about football, touring and beyond.
Piers recalls travelling to Oldham with a stranger he met on the internet, Sam reveals the extreme lengths he once went to during a Twin Atlantic show to avoid hearing a Rangers result, and the lads compare derby loyalties with life on the road. Plus, there is another update from our listeners at Brantham, currently making a strong case for being the worst club in Britain.

Football (and Gladiators) commentary legend Guy Mowbray joins Woody and Piers for a proper away-day chat. A lifelong York City F.C. fan (living within walking distance from his club), Guy opens up on the realities of commentating from old-school stadium gantries (and his strong bladder), why taking his daughter to a 0-0 can still feel like magic, how his garden ended up with stadium seats and the moment José Mourinho surprised Marine during an FA Cup tie.
Plus we hear from our resident Brantham fan.
