With Aston Villa and Swansea coming up, we hear from Frankie from All Villa No Filler to see how things are going at Villa Park. Plus we catch up with Swans fans Alex and Sam ahead of the trip to South Wales. Also, what does it mean to be a City fan in 2025? The most-successful era has come just a stone's throw away from the worst ever period, so how does that affect or influence the fan experience? Then there's a whole host of other factors that are laid at fans' doors, like ownership, sportswashing, 115, "how can we compete with this?", plastic fans, oil club... How do you navigate that? We speak to Dom Farrell about his new book that examines the City fan experience. ========== If you'd like to buy Dom's book, here is the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glory-Days-Waifs-Strays-Manchester/dp/1785909681 And, if you'd like to come to the launch party, you can get tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/manchester-city-book-launch-with-author-dom-farrell-tickets-1731067432289 ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
