The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 151: Who’s Ready For Relegation Royals?

We’re out of the Cup and well away from the play-offs, so best get ready for the reality of a Championship relegation battle as Reading take on two crucial fixtures in the week ahead.

After losses to Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday, Marc and Handbags pick up the pieces and work out how the Royals will fare away to bottom club Burton before a no doubt feisty encounter versus Millwall.

We also answer your questions in the mailbag, check up on the youth and women’s teams, and discuss the coming and going that took place on Monday with the transfer deadline looming.

As always The Tilehurst End Podcast can be taken in via PodBean, YouTube or iTunes.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 150: The Amazons Interview

On February 10, Reading natives The Amazons take to The Hexagon for a sold out hometown gig to see out their February tour of the UK, off the back of their hugely popular debut album.

As the band are Reading fans, and as we are the Royals’ No. 1 Podcast, it was only natural to gather around on a cold January evening to chat about their memories of supporting the team and growing up in the area.

Vocalist/Guitarist Matt Thomson and Drummer Joe Emmett join Marc for TTE’s own landmark 150th episode, which you can take in via PodBean, YouTube or iTunes.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 149: A Bit Of A Chore

Sometimes football is fun and fanciful, other times it’s like Reading over the 2017 Christmas period: a bit of a chore.

Luckily there is still plenty to discuss away from the intricacies of passing it slowly from one defender to another and that’s what Marc and Handbags got stuck into for episode 149 of The Tilehurst End Podcast.

From angry fans to stubborn Jaap, ignored youth to how we’ll match up against Hull, strap in via PodBean, YouTube or iTunes.
