The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast With Nick & Dom
A non-partizan football discussion Podcast hosted by Nick Bramley & Dom Hanrahan. Two "Men of a Certain Age" with years of experience as fans of the live & televised game in England and around Europe..... Both long-standing season ticket holders at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough, where we met over a Bovril and a Pie, with Dom also, almost uniquely we guess also being a long-standing season ticket holder at Everton with his daughter, as he lives in the Wirral. But it's not a podcast about Boro or Everton, but about Football Dom would not be seen dead in a half & half scarf though, rest assured....... This entertaining weekly Podcast is for ANYONE with a passing interest in football, whether an on the terraces fan, an armchair fan, a fan of the Premier League or the National League and anything in between. Each week we will discuss and explore all that we think might just be worthy of two "average Joe" football fans giving their time over to consider and discuss - and hopefully entertain, or even annoy you. Football, is after all a devisive sport of opinions and we LOVE it........ It's not a moaning session, it's not just a hankering for heavy pitches, flying tackles and laced up footballs, but we think that our audience will certainly agree with a lot of the topics we intend to discuss. Either way, we hope that you will be engaged in a thought process that might just keep you entertained. Please don't forget to like and subscribe and ideally share the episodes and get your weekly fix of the Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast directly to your favourite Podcast Platform. Thanks for your support. NICK & DOM
