Game's Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast - Royal Oak Star Scouted as Fans Rage at Wynney's Return

Download Royal Oak Star Scouted as Fans Rage at Wynney's Return

The backlash over Matt Wynne’s re-signing at Royal Oak FC rages on, with fans split down the middle over his return. Has Carpet Dave blundered by not offering a discount to the whole squad and will Wynney's initiation song be enough to win over the dressing room?

Elsewhere at the Oak, scouts are sniffing around Whylie, and the lads put their heads together to drum up trade for beleaguered landlord Terry. Supper club? Bingo? Nikki's ladies night? Nothing is off the table.

In the wider football world, we dissect Liverpool vs Arsenal, Dorking Wanderer's manager Marc White’s viral dressing room outburst, and Jamie Carragher apologises to Aston Villa - will Steve also make amends? Plus, we hear from you on half-time team talks and terrace chants.

Alexander Isak, Kylian Mbappe and Diego Maradona all feature in another packed edition from the dressing room of the Royal Oak FC.

All episodes will now premiere at 7PM on Thursdays - and don't forget you can watch along with Steve and Bob in the live chat on the Game's Gone YouTube channel...

Catch up on our brand-new series Touchline Shouts, featuring bonus Royal Oak drama and footballing chat with Steve. Episodes are released every Tuesday, only on BBC Sounds.
