Thanks to the hard work, dedication and persistence of Blackpool FC supporters, they Oystons have at long last been ousted. 

Nearly two years after we recorded the first Who Are Ya, we joined the Blackpool fans again - as the Bloomfield Road turnstiles welcomed back so many old friends.

Here is a short episode, where th...

This episode is different from our usual club-focussed approach as we explore football’s relationship with tragedy. The history of football has unfortunately been littered with tragic events, but has football changed how it deals with death? Can football be a force for good in dealing with grief, or has the media turned death into spectacle?

Ben flies to Rome in the latest episode of Who Are Ya to see Lazio in action.

After the game, every time he tells people about his football experience, it always gets the same response.

"That's the team with the fascist links?"

Tuesday nights, freezing cold winds, and a football club on the up. We ask Fleetwood Town... Who Are Ya?

Brentford are not a football club that you'd expect to be in the top flight. The last time they were there was in the 1930s. But thanks to an innovative owner, a young, exciting squad and a team of management staff who all share the same beliefs for taking this club forward, the fans at Griffin Park are buzzing - and are ready for a long-awaited return to the top of the English football pyramid.

This is a club we expected to be j...

Queen’s Park FC are Scotland’s oldest football club.

A truly unique beast, Queen’s Park are not your typical Scottish League Two side – not only do they play at Hampden Park, they’re also the only amateur side in Scotland’s professional leagues.

But their future at Hampden, and thus their amateur status, may be under threat due to circumstances beyond their control.

We travelled to Glasgow to find out from fans of The Spiders...

Who Are Ya Podcast has covered struggling sides in the past. In this episode we’ve done something a bit different, and gone right to the top.

Manchester City are a team that, in the past, were known for disappointment and mediocrity. Now they ooze excellence in every department. And if there’s any way they aren’t already the best, they aspire to get their soon.

But what do their fans think of all this? Are the fans losing their...

Hello and welcome to Who Are Ya, a monthly podcast about the football clubs of Great Britain. 

Well, that’s what it was. We’ve decided to change it up a little, shower you with more content. 

An episode every month isn’t as frequent as we’d like, so we came up with the idea of additional episodes - outside of the usual Who Are Ya pod format that we know and love.

We’re going to be introducing an additional podcast every month...

In this episode instead of sticking to one club, we are discussing a few - but they've all got something in common - these are the protest clubs. Formed, for various reasons, in protest against another club, these fans were forced to make a horrid decision when they started a new team.

We talk to FC United fans about life as a non-league protest club, to AFC Liverpool's founder, to a once disgruntled now happy Northwich fan and t...
