Episode Notes
Episode 60 of Season 4 sees Barra joined by Gareth Holden and Max Bell as the panel react to a huge night for Scunthorpe United, with the Iron progressing after a gutsy 1–0 play-off victory over Southend United.
The lads look back on a tense and hard-fought win that keeps the promotion dream alive, before turning full attention to Sunday’s massive play-off semi-final away at Rochdale— with Wembley now just one result away.
Can the Iron build on momentum from the Southend win? How will Rochdale respond after final day heartbreak? And who really has the edge heading into one of the biggest games of the season?
There’s also reaction to the ticket chaos, as all 2,300 Scunthorpe tickets sold out within three hours, leaving many fans scrambling for seats for the huge trip to Spotland.
Returning guest Char joins us to give the Rochdale perspective ahead of the semi-final in our Spy in the Camp segment.
Plus, we’ve got score predictions, the latest FPL update, a quick round-up of the play-offs elsewhere — including Jimmy Dean’s Spalding United FC reaching the play-off final — and plenty of listener questions.
