Under The Abbey Stand Under The Abbey Stand

Are you not entertained?! A decade since his Russell Crowe impersonation on the sidelines of the Abbey, Dickie Dosh, the legendary United manager who masterminded a promotion-winning season out of non-league after nine long years, sits down with Tom and Jules to discuss that iconic season. How did he build the team, what were his hopes going into the season, how long did the 10 minutes of stoppage time feel at Wembley.

As well as going through his memories of 2013/14, we touch on his under recognised playing career and the first year in the Football League with the U's. Sit back and enjoy.

Next up: Kwesi Appiah...

Pods don't come more special than this one. And teams don't come more special than United's legendary 2013/14 promotion-winning team. To celebrate a whole decade since Delano day, "Are you not entertained?", "Donaldson with a curler" and 10 minutes of stoppage time that felt like an hour, we've put together a two-part special looking back at that season month-by-month.

Alongside Julian, Jack, Tom and Jordan reminiscing on their memories of that year, we had the pleasure of speaking to key members of that team that finally took the U's back into the football league after an agonising 9 year absence.

Episode Two starts at the turn of the year, as Luton had just overtaken the U's in the league. We go through the poor run of form at the start of 2014, how the FA Trophy run helped us prepare for the play off, and then go in-depth for a few of the biggest moments in the club's history as we finally win promotion back to the Football League on that glorious afternoon in the sunshine at Wembley.

Well, that was some season, wasn't it? Three managers, not many wins, and one striker we'd all like to forget in a hurry, it's been a year of change and upheaval in CB5. 

But some things always stay the same. For the third year running, join Jules, Jordan, Swindle and Tom as they recap all the highs and lows from the 2023/24 season with the UTAS End of Season Awards ceremony. We dish out awards for the best goal, player and match as well hero and villain, and best and worst moment, with the help of trusted friends of the pod Matt Ramsay, Doug Shulman, Matt Gooding and Max Rushden.

Thank you for all of your support this season. It's been a bumper year for the pod and we hope to continue that next year.

We made it harder than we needed to, but in the end it was all quite easy for United. They cruised to a 0-0 draw at Vale Park, giving them the point they needed to confirm survival for a fourth season in League One, no matter what results elsewhere were. Jules, Matt and Tom get together for the last review show of the year to talk a little bit about the very little that happened in the game, and touch on Monk's time at the Abbey so far and the imminent retained list.
