9yrspodcast

The clue's in the title ... Indeed, Lee Brown joins Nick and Stu on this week's show. We had a great chat about his life since leaving Wimbledon, beating, and celebrating beating, you-know-who, relegation, Ollie Palmer, Ali Al-Hamadi, Harry Pell, and life at the training ground. Lee also has a crack at My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and selects some highlights from his playing career. A really entertaining and insightful interview to get us in the mood ahead of this Saturday's circus.

Well this ended up being quite the podcast. What felt like a fairly low-key review of a low-key win over Fleetwood, with some discussion about a couple of stadium issues, turns on its head when Nick discovers how much we charge for matchday admission to League Two football. We actually delve into a few ticket issues this week, from the good of box office staff, to the bad of prices, to the ugly of fake and digital tickets. We also have a hilarious edition of My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and somehow end up back on Stu's favourite subject: Geography.TIMINGS01:20 - Fleetwood Town review21:25 - Ticketing and stadium issues29:25 - Newcastle ticket, and general, pricing38:25 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker43:50 - Geography with Stu48:00 - Women's team and close

Only one real topic of conversation this week: our fantastic victory over Premier League Ipswich Town. Nick and Stu discuss the key points of the game, including evaluating the performances of messrs Goodman, Reeves, Ogundere, Stevens, and Biler. Oh, and there's also some consternation about the reaction Ali Al-Hamadi received. A quick look back at Cheltenham, a look ahead to visits of Fleetwood and, further afield, Newcastle, some Plough Lane logistics, and My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker round off the show, with a special guest appearance from, of all people, Daley Thompson.TIMINGS01:10 - Ipswich Town review16:52 - Ali Al-Hamadi27:50 - *Infuriatingly long-winded* League Cup Draw31:55 - Cheltenham review34:05 - Plough Lane logistical issues40:15 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker47:10 - Fleetwood preview and predictions

There's a lot of noise around these Dons Trust resolutions and the call for an SGM, and it's all quite confusing. So Nick and Stu invited two of the people involved in raising the members' resolutions, Jane Lonsdale and Charles Williams, on to the podcast to offer some clarity around the issue. What are the resolutions, what do they mean, why do we need an SGM, and why now? An interesting and helpful chat. Alongside that, it's classic podcast: we review the defeat at Bromley, including the TV coverage, look ahead to the weekend, touch on the fixture that didn't exist, and play our brand new game. Also, an old feature makes its return ...TIMINGS01:35 - Bromley 2-0 Dons, including Sky coverage12:00 - Interview with Jane Lonsdale and Charles Williams re.

A good start to the season with two come-from-behind wins, with all four strikers getting off the mark. What observations did Nick and Stu make to the games with Colchester and Bromley, and what will we take forward into the rest of the month? There are also more off-the-pitch matters to think about as well though, and the push for a Dons Trust EGM, under the slogan of 'Broken Trust', has caused some disquiet around Plough Lane. The second edition of My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker includes a cryptic clue that is unlikely to be topped, and we finish up with a glance around League Two, and a look toward our return to Hayes Lane on Saturday.Timings00:55 - Bromley 1-2 Dons14:20 - Dons 4-2 Colchester Utd, with added matchday notes31:25 - Dons Trust resolutions and EGM47:00 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker50:22 - League Two round-up54:15 - Bromley preview and predictions

WE'RE HERE. After a longer-than-usual absence, Nick and Stu return - just in time for the new season too. We're discussing all the changes on and off the pitch, from Dons Trust issues to digital advertising, the transfer window to pre-season, before looking ahead to the League Two campaign and making our picks for promotion contenders and relegation candidates. We look ahead to the opening day visit of Colchester United, the return of Lyle Taylor, and next week's cup tie at Hayes Lane ... and we also have a BRAND NEW GAME because we can't not have a game. It's good to be back.Timings02:40 - Off the pitch (Managing Director, Stadium, TV, kick-off times, Dons Trust)26:48 - On the pitch (transfer window, squad, pre-season)45:02 - League Two predictions54:22 - NEW GAME!58:10 - Colchester preview01:03:55 - Outro, including a message of hope

Nick and Stu catch-up to discuss recent defeats to Ipswich and Wrexham, the postponement of the Crawley game, football finances, Reading, the trip to MK, and the signings of Ronan Curtis, John-Kymani Gordon, and, most interestingly, Joe Lewis ...

In the first episode of 2024, Nick and Stu discuss whether the loss of Ali Al-Hamadi and Omar Bugiel for a few weeks is purely full of negatives for the side, or whether there are some silver linings to the clouds. We also look at the games with Colchester and Forest Green; the rearranged date for the trip to Buckinghamshire; and the upcoming FA Cup tie with Ipswich. Kamikaze podcasting.

The podcast returns for the final time in 2023 to review the last few games, including excellent wins over Swindon and Crawley, and a disappointing damp squib of a defeat at home to Sutton. However, Nick doesn't believe the Boxing Day loss will do us any harm in the long run - but the upcoming loss of Ali and possibly Omar to international duty is a concern.

Nick and Stu return to review the win over Ramsgate, the FA Cup Third Round draw, TV's picks for said round, the Premier League's new TV deal, and some of the ills afflicting the match-going fan, including ticket on-sale dates, digital advertising, and fixture rescheduling. There's also an ICONIC EDITION of the Aarson Sasupermatch Game, ahead of a bold Swindon prediction.
