How Football Friendship Led to An Award-Winning Podcast | Ale and the Vale Podcast
If you are a diehard football fan and have ever thought about doing something MORE with that passion, this episode is a great listen for you! In Episode 28 of the Because Football Podcast, we sit down with two of the founding members of the Ale and the Vale Podcast, Jonny Hancock and Stu Kerby. The Ale and the Vale Podcast is a fan-driven project about Port Vale FC, a football club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, that is currently in League Two, the fourth tier of professional English football.
Self-described as "3 fans talking absolutely relatable rubbish that you will have heard at any game at Vale Park", the podcast was named League One podcast of the year by ‘TheRealEFL’ awards in 2023, outperforming the team's on-field performance by some length! The podcast has also led and participated in numerous fundraisers for the community, fostering more concrete benefits other than serving as a rallying voice for what's in the head of many Vale supporters from week to week.
What began as a way to stay connected with each other and with their club during the pandemic has now grown into a weekly (sometimes more frequent) podcast that not only gives a voice to local supporters of Port Vale, but has managed to foster a close alliance with the club itself. This relationship has allowed the podcast to authentically bridge both groups, interview club personnel such as the club owner, Carol Shanahan, and even players and managers. It's the type of access and interconnectedness that is difficult to find among the mainstream modern football of today, and is a reminder of how important clubs are to their local communities, not only on the pitch, but off of it.
During this chat, Jonny and Stu explain us to the different types of match day experiences for English football fans, from home to pub to stadium experiences, the magic of away days, and their criteria for what makes a "big club". It's the type of conversation that goes beyond a simple man on the street post-match interview you may have seen on other fan-driven social media channels. We hope it offers more insight into what draws people to "smaller" clubs at lower tiers of football, away from the spotlight of today's mega-clubs and untouchable superstar players.
They also give their opinions on the Wrexham project by American owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, offering a perspective from a smaller club without the miraculous cash injection that has led to the Welsh club's "fairytale" story. And, finally, we end the pod with a discussion about what football has meant to their lives, and they offer their "Because Football...." answers.
We thank Jonny and Stu for their time and sharing their story with us at Because Football. UTV!

AMAZING PREGAME / PREVIA - Argentina vs Chile Copa America Match
มุมมอง 8K14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
What a special moment it was for me to attend the Argentina vs Chile match at MetLife Stadium in New York (well, technically New Jersey) at Copa America 2024! The "previa" or pre-game celebration was incredible! Asado barbecue, Fernet con coca (cola), singing and chanting, huge crowds of Argentina fans "hinchas".... the perfect ingredients for an unbelievable matchday experience. And all of it ...

Awesome video, Andrew! So many cool things in it. I loved the song they were singing and the lyrics, "Diego Maradona, we can see him watching from heaven!" I loved the double jersey too - half Messi and half Luka Modric. Just a great video that captured the love and excitement of the game. Well done.

Und die Schweitzer sitzen brav und speissen.
yes, much more chill. and also great :)
I wonder if the Scot’s know that each bottle has a deposit, I bet someone rakes in the money from left crates and bottles.
It is €3 deposit for a plastic EUFA beaker at all the stadia around Germany during the tournament. Although this just applies to the real fans..........the blazers and corporate get everything for free as usual.
yes in the streets there were many people collecting the bottles and getting rich. I'm sure they love the Scots as well :)

danke für die nette Nachricht!
'Full guns blazing' would mean they were 'giving it everything' probably to get drunk and have a good time.
Yes that is what I meant! Thanks for watching 😊⚽️
You asked what the flag said ( 16.42 ). " Going To Germany On My Wee Calf " It means he has the week off work or away from the wife etc. In English it would be " Going To Germany On My Week Off " and when said fast in Scottish it sounds like wee calf ). I hope that makes sense😅🤣
Yea that clarifies things! I can’t quite make it sound like that in my head unfortunately. Thanks for the explanation and for watching! 🤣
No many palestinian flags aboot there!!!
not many but I saw them represented among many different nations

Thank you bro 💪💪
Scots was not any nasty to us Germans , comparing to other people , scots you are welcome, ❤
i'm glad you had a wonderful experience of the Scots. Thank you for your hospitality, too!
My lovely Scots ❤❤❤ i know why i love this country so much!!! Always visiting the Braemar Highland Games, of course i wear a Kilt with proud ❤😂 as a German. Take care Scots and my warmest greetings to Alba, Carsten
Beautiful message! Thank you for sharing.
200,000 Scottish fans drank 8,000,000 litres of beer in Munch, is the statistic I heard, but German beer is far better than we get in Scotland, I love the Haffeweisen
That's 16 million pints in one city, divided by 200 000 - that's 80 pints per person. Entirely believable
Apparently the Scots drunk Germany dry lol😂
@@jazzx251 I would say an underestimate!!!
@@jazzx251 over a few days, absolutely!
Unbelievable.! Need to find the statistics for Cologne. Honestly might be more! Thanks mate.
I'm glad you liked our hometown, we were glad having you, the scots, the swiss and everybody else (except the Leverkusen guys in the end). It really is the best city in Germany 🔴⚪
Was soll der negative Satz gegen die Leverkusener? Ist total unnötig. Immer noch angepisst, dass Leverkusen das Double geholt hat, während Köln in die 2. Liga abgestiegen ist?
Thank you for hosting all of us! Wonderful city.
@@beateeer4787ne, juckt mich nicht, dass Leverkusen ausversehen Meister geworden ist. So wie es niemanden mehr juckt. Aber wenn du Ahnung hättest, dann wüsstest du, dass die Pillen hier einfach nicht willkommen sind.
@@Cologne.1948 die Pillen , wie du sie nennst, sind nicht aus Versehen Meister und Pokalsieger geworden, sondern durch harte Arbeit und den unermüdlichen Einsatz kein Spiel verlieren zu wollen. Das war beim FC genau andersrum, wenn man sich die Spiele, die so wichtig für den Klassenerhalt waren anschaut. Sind ja nicht versehentlich abgestiegen. Dass ich Ahnung habe, das kannst du mir glauben. Dafür bin ich schon lange genug auf der Welt. Woher nimmst du dir das Recht raus für alle Kölner zu sprechen? Es gibt sehr viele Kölner Fans, wie mein Mann, mein Neffe und viele Kölner Bekannte und Freunde (ich habe 31 Jahre in Köln gelebt und bin da aufgewachsen, wohne jetzt seit vielen Jahren an der Stadtgrenze zu Köln) die den Erfolg neidlos anerkennen. Da mein erwachsener Sohn von Kind an Leverkusen Fan ist, bin ich als Mutter schon immer neutral gewesen. Im Übrigen gehe ich davon aus, dass bei vielen Leverkusener Fans die Kölner auch nicht willkommen sind. Das juckt mich zum Beispiel nicht.
@@beateeer4787 leg dich wieder hin, das liest eh niemand ganz 😂

💙💛💙
one of these days the England team will live up to the hype and their fans. They should have an easier time achieving that than the Scottish team.
“Achieving is easier for England but Living up to the hype is harder. Achieving success is harder for Scotland but living up to the hype is easier.“ - (Football) Lao Tzu, probably
@@BecauseFootball_ the difference is, english hype is self made. By the team, the media and the fans. And then they end up booing their team off the field. There is no second gear.
Scottish fans have won our hearts by their good cheer, easy going attitude and sheer joy at being welcomed warmly. No matter how their team plays, the Scots will always be favored over the English in Germany 🇩🇪
well you could argue that fast connections are usually more expensive than however many slow connections for the same distance.
In this specific case, the first flight was the same. ADDING two additional flights made it cheaper. That’s why it didn’t make sense to me.
Thanks for watching btw 😂
Would be nice to see Scotland care a bit more about scoring goals, but glad they had fun
Just doing their best 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Other countries keep pinching their best players.
Brilliant summary of a day we people from cologne will not forget. Still getting goosebumps looking at your video. I know so many people from here who are still emotionally touched. Thank you so much Scotland. Greetings from Cologne
Wow that is so amazing to hear!! Great to hear a local perspective on the celebrations. Thank you for watching!
