Play-Offs secured

We start this episode with a heartfelt tribute to Tony “Shep” Shepardson — the voice of Scunthorpe United for many years. Known for his iconic and perfectly timed catchphrases, Shep has been a huge part of the matchday experience for countless Iron fans, and we send our very best wishes.

This is Episode 55 of Season 4 .Barra is joined by Max Bell to reflect on a hard-fought 0–0 draw with Hartlepool United. There was no late winner this time, and it was the visitors who came closest in the closing stages — but the point was enough to secure the Iron’s place in this season’s play-offs.

The panel discuss the performance, the importance of getting the job done, and what it means heading into the final stages of the season — with talk already turning to whether a trip to Wembley could be on the cards.

Looking ahead, attention turns to Easter Monday’s trip to face Gateshead FC, a side in the middle of a remarkable turnaround as they battle to avoid relegation. With Scunthorpe’s play-off place secured, could this be an opportunity to experiment ahead of the big games to come?

We’re also joined by Dan Bell in our Spy in the Camp segment to get the opposition view ahead of the clash.

Plus, there’s a quick round-up of the National League (and National League North) and plenty more discussion along the way.
