The Stacey West Podcast: Recent Episodes
staceywest
It's a bumper one for you this weekend, with all four presenters and two guests on the show.
We're looking at the players City have out on loan, from Hayden Cann to Freddie Draper. We're going into the National League North, up to Scotland and back down to League Two.
It isn't just Gary and Chris either - Charlie is in the studio after being let down by a Falkirk fan, so his Sam Long research doesn't go to waste. He's also chatting to Callum Moseley of The Real EFL about Jay Benn. Our own Ben is on, he caught up with Rob from the Yellow Ribbon Podcast, who is talking about Freddie Draper.
We've got stats from Peterborough Sports, Solihull Moors, Falkirk, Dagenham, and Walsall as we attempt to keep you informed on how the young Imps are doing in senior football.

There's no match to preview, so we're all about Bristol Rovers this week.
We're talking injuries, 3-5-2 and a decent point that at first felt like a defeat. We're also looking at the new recruits, Jack Vale, who joins from Blackburn Rovers, and Jack Moylan, who will (eventually) join from Shelbourne in January.
We're also outlining what to expect from us in the coming days.

It's a fun one this week, as City manage to knock a Premier League club out of the League Cup.
Gary and Charlie are discussing the game, tactics and what a great night it was to be an Imp. We're talking West Ham, and Gary forgets the Champions League exists (it's all about the Europa Conference). We're talking about what might happen on deadline day (which for 70% of listeners will already have happened) and we're looking ahead to the weekend's fixture against Bristol Rovers.
To do that, Ben has been chatting to Charlie from One Rovers Vlogs for the lowdown before Gary and Charlie (our Charlie) make a ham-fisted attempt to give you their opinions on the game.

For your Sunday Special this week, Gary and Charlie are picking over the excellent 3-0 win against Blackpool.
We're talking about what went right for us, and what went wrong for Blackpool. In addition, we pick up on the investment announced over the weekend, and we're looking ahead to Sheffield United in the League Cup.
Can 3,000 travelling fans hope for an Imps' victory?
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
It's Gary and Chris this week, picking over the new third kit, amongst other things.
We're also talking about Jorge Grant, Tyler Walker, League One as a competition and much more. Find out which dead musician would play the afternoon slot at Gary's fictional festival and where Chris would like to see the Imps visit should we ever get to Europe.
SPOILER - There are at least three things Gary and Chris disagree on this week. What is wrong with the world?
Also, Charlie is on - Tom Mayne joins him from the It's Not Orange Podcast, talking all things Blackpool.
Is it worth your time? Let's hope so.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
Gary and Chris team up today to try and get an hour out of the Shrewsbury game.
They're going over the finer details of the match, but that's not all. There's some talk about the new boy, Alex Mitchell, as well as a look at Jey Benn and Freddie Draper, both doing good things out on loan.
The Sunday Special is meant to be quick, but as usual, there's an hour for you to feast your ears on.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
For the first time, Gary is joined by Charlie for the midweek show. We're a day early as well - three members of the podcast are out tomorrow night at a gig. We'd be in no fit state to record.
We're picking over the Northampton game with the clarity of a night's sleep and looking ahead to Shrewsbury this weekend. Charlie is joined by the excellent Ollie from Salopcast to give us the lowdown on our opponents.
We also look at Freddie Draper and Jay Benn, both of whom had a good midweek, as well as discuss the Paude O'Connor rumours you've undoubtedly heard. There's news of our player sponsorship as well - it's all happening this week.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
In our second Sunday Special of the season, Gary and Chris are all over the 3-0 win against Wycombe Wanderers.
It's not really a special when it's a regular thing, but it feels special with a 3-0 victory in the season's first home game. We're picking over the key incidents, and trying not to get carried away.
We're also discussing Jay Benn's move, and looking at quite a debut for Freddie Draper. Then its focus on Northampton - Charlie is joined by Danny from It's All Cobblers To Me to look at our game. Then Chris and Gary offer a little bit of deeper insight.
We hope you enjoy the show!
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
Ben and Charlie sit down and talk over the goings on at Lincoln City this week, with the Notts County win fresh in our minds. We go over our Second Round victory, talk about the Third Round draw, discuss the arrival of Jack Burroughs, and look forward to Wycombe at home!
Charlie is joined by George from the Wycombe Way to discuss their point of view on the game, and we discuss a couple of other bits going on at the club as well, including a small piece of news that broke during the record!

Welcome to the first Sunday special, where Gary and Chris are picking over the carcass of our 3-0 opening-day defeat against Bolton Wanderers.
There's chatter about how we played, what was good and what was bad. We're looking ahead to the cup tie on Tuesday, a trip to Meadow Lane, and Dan from Notts County Talk is with Charlie to give us the lowdown.
Also, we were beaten to the Ahui news by mere minutes on Thursday, so we're furnishing your ears with that as well.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
It's Gary and Chris in the hot seat getting you ready for the new season.
We're talking about our House, his new deal and what it means for the club. We're also looking at Ethan Hamilton, squad numbers, and the news Paudie will be the club captain. Who would be the vice-captain? Can a keeper be captain?
We've got Ed from LOVRBWFC chatting with Charlie and a breakdown of what to expect from the Trotters with Chris. There's a lot packed into this hour and six-minute podcast, so strap in because FOOTBALL IS BACK.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
This week, Gary and Ben go through their promotion and relegation tips, talking about strong teams, weak outfits and those who might surprise at one end of the table or another.
Will it be Derby to go up? Are Reading set to struggle? The lads put Fleetwood at opposite ends of the table, and struggle to agree on much at all.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
Ben and Chris are with you this week, going over the Boston friendly, rumours of new signings, and all things Lincoln City! We try not to get carried away after thumping the Pilgrims, muse over a couple of press stories, look into the Fair Game Index, and call some people scumbags.
We also take a good question from the floor, and have a fun new message from a certain someone! See, knew that would get you intrigued. Look, there's not been a ton of news this week, so we also talk about song lyrics. Hopefully as we barrel toward the new season, we'll be inundated with news and excitement from LN5, but until then, as always... Get subscribed, tell a mate, and Up the Imps!

Gary's in his bar and it's a bit echoey. Chris is in his lounge, and off air, he was singing to himself not realising his new mic could pick it up.
They're both talking Lincoln City, just for you. There's a little Tyler Walker chatter, a lot of squad discussion, and a few disagreements about who we might sign for which position. I know, Chris and Gary disagree on something. What next?
We're also looking at possible problems for Barnsley, covering the spat on social media with some Portsmouth fans, and discussing the new away kit. We planned for 30 minutes, you've got an hour.
All this, and the alluring sound of Gary's voice making you want a McDonalds. How good is life now this has dropped?

We're on the cusp of pre-season starting properly and it's been a quiet week in the world of the Imps.
Does that mean we're quiet? No, it does not.
This week we're talking about Sean Roughan, who has committed his future to the Imps. We're talking Jaden Brown, and we're joined by Terry Hibberd Owls Online (https://www.owlsonline.com/) who is giving us the lowdown.
Then, it's over to you. What to do with Charlie Kendall? What's the right price for Ben House? Are we happy with our right back? What formation should we play? What's the correct protocol for wishing a friend a happy birthday? Would you rather have Angel Rangel, or Emilio Butragueño playing for Lincoln?
All this and more. It's a cracking episode, and if it gets too interesting, you've always got Gary's McDonald's advert to bring you crashing back down to earth.

This week, the boys were set a task. Go and pick one striker you think would be a good fit for Lincoln City this summer.
We know we're in the market for a striker, but who would each of our contributors pick? Is it a loan? Is it Tyler Walker? Is it someone for a fee?
The rules were they had to be feasible, and you had to have a compelling argument for your player.
Hear Gary, Ben, Chris and Charlie discuss possible names, how they'd fit in, and why the other contributor's players wouldn't work.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of theStacey West Podcast.The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
We're deep into summer now, and many people are talking overs and catches, not goals and assists.
Not us.
We're talking about Lukas Jensen, Sam Long, Max Sanders, and Charles Vernam. We're talking fixtures in the league and the cups, and we've even taken a couple of questions from the floor.

It's time for a Dog Walk Special, as we await proper news to discuss from the summer.
I'm looking at rumours around four players, Cole Stockton, Aaron Wightman, Reeco Hackett-Fairchild, and Josh Dacres-Cogley, discussing which i think might sign and why.
As the walk goes on, I'm also talking free agents, returning heroes, and next year's squad.
Be aware - this was recorded as a live feed, on location in the Lincolnshire Wolds, and as such, you may hear birds singing, and some lower audio quality than normal. Unless you were at our live show because that audio quality was horrible!

Ben, Chris and Charlie are here this week to discuss the highs, the lows, and the in between bits of the imps' season, looking back at Mark Kennedy's first term in charge. We pick out our favourite (and least favourite) games and moments, talk about the unsung heroes at the club, who we'd like to see more of next time out, in the typical Stacey West fashion!
Join us next week when we'll have a very special episode, a competition, and some talk with a Drogheda fan about how our loanees are getting on!

The Lincoln City retained list has been announced today, with three departures from the club.
This live chat, hosted originally on YouTube, sees podcast host Gary going through the list, talking about those leaving, those staying, and those who have been in on loan.
It was intended as a 20-minute broadcast, but as more than 100 people got involved online, it turned into something you might find listenable!
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
It's Gary and Chris scanning their memory banks this time out, trying to piece together the events from Morecambe.
From missed goals to hazy recollections of moments, they stumble through so-called analysis, before moving onto future projections, something they can speak about with a degree of clarity. We're also looking back at our favourite dead rubber games and waxing lyrical about the future, as we always do.
There's the odd stag night tale as well, from seeing oursevles to a member of the podcast wanting to kill another podcast member. Who could it be? Listen on to find out.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded byGary Hutchinsonof the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
It's another fine morning in the Wolds, and that means Gary talking at you about Lincoln City.
This episode is all about the players who have disappointed the most this season. There are seven names, all of whom Gary expected more from, or who were hit by runs of bad luck that stopped them from reaching their potential
Who are they? Do you agree?
This podcast was originally recorded on our YouTube channel and has been turned to audio at Stacey West reader's request.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
It's the penultimate 'normal' podcast of the season, the last where we preview an away game, and it's a cracker.
We're talking Wycombe, a bit, and going on a deep dive into the Burton game. We're differentiating between Luke Plange and Mide Shodipo, and looking ahead to Morecambe. Charlie is joined by Dave from Beyond Radio to discuss all things Shrimps, and we use that as a springboard to jump into the League One relegation battle - who goes down? We have our say.
We'll also name an XI of players we own right now, likely to stay over the summer, that could stay in League One with zero additions. Yep, that's how we manage to get over an hour. Again.

Welcome to another Stacey West Special, this time recorded in the hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
We're talking Most Improved Imps today, players, and otherwise, whilst walking the trails near my house. The sound quality is rustic, and there's little planning, but many of you do prefer to listen in rather than actually see my face. Therefore, when the sound quality is acceptable, it's going up for your enjoyment.

It's late, but it still arrived on Sunday!
This is a special given that we have a game on Tuesday. Gary chats a bit about Wycombe, on his own because it's late before introducing Charlie's preview. He's been chatting to Ed Walker from the D3D4 podcast all about the upcoming League One fixture at the Bank.,
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”

It's another episode of the never-won-an-award Stacey West podcast, Lincoln City's premium media show.
This week we're talking Sheffield Wednesday away, Cheltenham at home, and wrestling. Charlie is back with a preview, he's got Joe from The Robins Report with him. We're not looking ahead to Plymouth, you lucky people get another podcast this weekend with that joy, but somehow we've still dragged it out for an hour.

It's Gary and Chris this week, looking back at a horrible game against Peterborough.
We get 20 minutes out of that, more than the paying customers got in terms of entertainment, but we don't stop there. We're talking guilty pleasures, Fleetwood (not a guilty pleasure) and Chris's Sunday League exploits. The lower league legend that is Knappers is on the pod, joining Charlie for the preview.
Like, subscribe, and enjoy. Hopefully.

We're also chatting callups, transfer gossip and season tickets, as well as outlining our favourite recent small victories we enjoyed way too much, and our death row meals.
You'd be mad to miss it. Probably.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
With Gaz out on assignment (or, y'know, at a gig), it's Ben and Chris this time out, talking all things Imps. This week, we take a look at the Cheltenham game, look ahead to Exeter, and discuss the recent financial news from the club which has some worrying connotations for football as a whole.
We also discuss our dubious claims to fame, while Charlie has a chat with Dan from the Big Bank Theory podcast to get an opposition point of view on how Saturday might go.

We're back on a Sunday with something a bit different.
Part one is Gary and Chris in the Ivy, sharing a post-match drink and chewing over the Oxford United game. Part 2 is Charlie B (I have to add the B as my dog, Charlie, came first), and he's got Cheltenham Town fan and Real EFL journalist Chris O'Brien talking all things Tuesday night.

It's Friday, and you know what that means... Yep, more wittering from the Stacey West Podcast crew. It's Ben and Gaz this week, as we look back at Forest Green and MK Dons, before looking forward to Oxford. Are things as bad as we're seeing online? Was there justification for the boos on Tuesday? What do we expect from the newly manager-less Oxford? Does Curry Sauce wash out of hoodies easily? All this and more are answered right here!
As always, get us shared, get subscribed, tell a mate, all that stuff, and we'll see you on Sunday as Charlie looks ahead to Cheltenham!
And of course, Up the Imps.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
This afternoon we're trialling something a bit fresh.
As you know, Jake is leaving us at the end of the month, so Charlie (a real person, not Gary's dog) is stepping up to the podcast. he's here with MK Dons fan Jonathan Harries, discussing the upcoming game. Gary also waffles a bit at the start, just to give you a full podcast experience.
How do we feel about a Sunday podcast? Worth it when there's a Tuesday game? We're interested in your feedback as we try to freshen up the approach for next season.
"This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West Podcast. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.”
Ben and Chris are with you this week to bring the power of positivity to you all after another solid result for the Imps against Portsmouth! We also look ahead to the Forest Green game and talk through some of the other big news, including a brief look at the news around the much-needed independent regulator being confirmed!

Then we're talking investment before finishing with a Pompey preview. With so much to go at you'd be forgiven for fearing a three-hour epic, but at 68 minutes, you'd be disappointed. Or not.

Time for the second part of our 200th episode live spectacular! Ben and Gaz sit down in the Legends Lounge with Liam Scully to discuss a bunch of club matters, and then finally we talk to Paudie O'Connor about his career so far!
Once again, thank you to everyone who came along - it was a fantastic evening and we had a blast. Thank you to everyone that pitched in, helped out, and made it a night to remember!
In the first part of our Episode 200 Celebration, Ben and Gaz are joined by Mark Kennedy and Danny Butterfield! An excellent evening, marred slightly by some technical issues, meaning the "Direct Feed" for the microphones didn't quite work for the whole night. As such, as an emergency solution, we had to record the podcast as a voice note on Gaz's phone... Ben's cleaned it up as best as possible, but apologies for it not being quite up to snuff!
With that being said, a huge thank you to everyone who came along on the evening, we had a great time, and it was pretty humbling!
Part 2 will be up soon enough as well, where we sit down with Liam Scully, club CEO!
Ben and Chris take you through the gentle closing of the Transfer Window in LN5, with several incomings, a few outgoings and a lot of opinion!

Ben and Chris host their first podcast together this week, and what a week it is... Poor displays against Charlton and Accrington provide the majority of the fodder, as we pick the bones out of them. We also look ahead to MK Dons, and hope the Imps can get back to winning ways. Jake is joined by Liam Connolly of the MK1 podcast, and we also talk about the transfer window. As you listen to this, we may have a new player announced already! What a time.

It's Gary and Ben this week, trying to squeeze fifteen minutes out of the Wycombe game, going hard on Everton Under 21s and picking up the rest of the week's news. That includes Accrington, Soiuthampton, Mike Garrity, San Diego, and a major podcast announcement. Of course, there's the weekly banter, an appearance from Jake Tpdge and Jon Palmer from Gloucestershire Live, and some other witty banter.
Ben and Jake with you this week, as we dissect Shrewsbury, look ahead to Wycombe, pay tribute to Johnny Johnson, and have differing dates with our MOTs.The preview this week was brought to you by Marcelo, aka @wycombemexico on Twitter!As always, do the sharing, subscribe, tell a mate etc, and we’ll see you next week! Up the Imps.
Genuinely, it's better than it sounds. Gary and Chris are on this week, discussing the upcoming fixture with Shrewsbury and doing a SWOT analysis of the club's current position. We're talking everything from the squad to ownership, trying to get a handle on whether we're in good shape or not.Plus, Gary changed the Wyscout password and didn't write it down, so there's no stats at all. No xG. No possession, passing accuracy or anything like that. Just raw, unadulterated football talk.
Ben and Gaz are here to go through the week in Lincoln City news, including 2 wins over Morecambe, an unexpected position in the table going into December, and the usual nonsense that has nothing to do with football!

It's Gary and Chris this week, so you know what that means. Excessive running time (70 minutes), in-depth analysis and stats, and some numbers and stats.
We're talking Plymouth and Morecambe (twice) as well as answering questions. There's also Tom from Shrimps Online chatting with Todge. It's all going off on the 188th episode of your third-favourite Lincoln City podcast.

There's also Jake, talking to Jake from Talking Wednesday. You'd be mad to miss it.
On the show this week, we welcome a bona fide legend - with 307 appearances for the Imps and 40 goals, Roger Holmes spanned two distinct eras; he played under Bill Anderson and alongside Andy Graver and was at the club when Dave Smith signed, and the embryonic 1976 team were being put together. He spent 12 years as a player with City and is a rare breed of one-club player. Even rarer was his feat of playing in three different divisions with City, all in the Football League.
He was voted 36th in the 2007 poll looking for the club's best-ever players, and in 2020 he reached 41st in our top 100 players of a generation poll. We're honoured to have him talking about his career here on the podcast.
Ben and Gaz are back this week, and we look back at a dull Saturday against Charlton, look ahead to a difficult trip to Ipswich, and talk all things imps! We discuss the 3pm blackout, the ‘return’ of Lewis Montsma to training, the imps programme fair, and the sterling work that the foundation do!

We have a Stacey West three-way this week, with Ben, Jake and Chris talking all things imps. Bit of a shorter one this week due to not having a game last Saturday, but we look ahead to Bolton, discuss Super Ted’s latest injury, and talk about the government’s impending decision to scrap the independent regulator in the game, which could have drastic consequences for clubs like Lincoln come 2024.

It's Gary and Chris again this week, as Ben takes a short break. There's no preview, Todge didn't get it sent over in time, but luckily Chris seems to know more about Accrington than John Coleman, so we should be all good.
It's a new combo today as Gary is joined by Chris Laming for a transfer special. How did we do on deadline day? Where is the squad? We're also looking at football games, Fleetwood, Barnsley and Cambridge United, plus Jules from the Under The Abbey Stand joins Jake Todge for a chat.
Gaz is out with the ‘vid, so Ben and Jake are back to talk all things imps - clouding the crushing loss at Peterborough, the win over Barrow, and looking ahead to the weekends game against Fleetwood. We also have Jake’s other wife Knappers on the get his take on Saturday!

It's the turn of Gary and Jake to talk about all things Imps this week. You know what that means; lower production quality.
The football chatter should still be sufficient though; we're talking Jake's misery at FGR, elation at the Oxford win and rumoured moves for Alex Gilbey and Jack Diamond.
Gaz is otherwise engaged this week, so Ben and Jake are in the hot seats, talking about another promising week for the Imps. A good away draw at Portsmouth, a thumping away win at Doncaster, and a new signing are on the cards this week. We also look forward to the weekend, and the visit of old foes Forest Green Rovers to the Bank!

A very special podcast for your ears this week, as Ben & Gaz got to sit down in front of a live audience at the football club and talk to the new Lincoln City head coach, Mark Kennedy! We discuss aspects of Mark’s career, his coaching journey, new signings and a whole lot more in this extra special episode. Roving reporter Jake also puts the fans’ questions to Mark, Liam Scully and Jez George in what was a fantastic insight into how the new gaffer operates.

Ben and Jake are joined this week by Mark Hone - Imp from 1996-1998, father of Danny, and current Radio Lincolnshire matchday summariser! In this episode, Mark regales us with stories from his time at Crystal Palace, the changing room under John Beck, what it’s like to go through a managerial change, as well as his stint in coaching, and his current spot as a pundit for local radio across the non league scene and, of course, trying not to swear while live on the radio covering games for the Imps!
Big thanks to Mark for his time, we hope you find this one as fun as we did recording it! And as always, Up the Imps.
Gavin Gordon played for the Imps between 1997 and 2000, joining for a reported fee of £30,000 from Hull City. He scored 32 times in 114 appearances, before a £500,000 move to Cardiff City.
He appeared for four different managers; John Beck, Shane Westley, John Reames and Phil Stant, winning promotion and experiencing relegation. In 2021, Stacey west readers voted him 49th in the Top 100 Players of a Generation.
Here, he talks about his beginnings at Hull, his Lincoln City career, and his current role as chairman of the Former Player's Association. What a great start to our summer series.
Jake and Gary are talking Mark Kennedy and what it means for the football club.
Recorded as a live video on Thursday.
A pod examining why Michael Carrick wouldn't be 'perfect' for Lincoln, and why other candidates shouldn't be discounted. There's also a Watership Down themed sub plot.....
Of course, there was some semi official news about the manager search just before we go live with it. Of course. But anyway, here’s Gaz and Ben talking about the potential candidates, looking back briefly at Crewe, before discussing Ross Burbeary, Jovon Makama and a few other bits, before being joined by Jake to discuss the moments of the season!
As always, a huge thank you to everyone who’s subscribed, listened, commented and generally interacted over the season, we’ll be back with a new one as soon as we’ve got some news, and then maybe a few more over the close season with some special guests!
Up the Imps.
Michael Appleton has left the club, so on today's dog walk, we're talking about his time here, and where the club goes next.
It’s the final game of the season on Saturday, so Ben and Gaz are here to talk about the Accrington game, look ahead to Crewe, and discuss the (admittedly slim) goings on in LN5 this week. Jake also speaks to Ant from The Railwaymen podcast to get his thoughts on Crewe’s season.
Thanks again for all your support this season, we’ll hopefully be live soon with an end of season review, and then over the close season, possibly have some interesting guests on… Watch this space!

This can’t be right… we’ve won, we’re safe, but Ben’s joined by Jake this week?! We go over the positive performance at Portsmouth, the thrilling display over Cheltenham, look ahead to Accrington, and discuss the budget “controversy”, the My Shirt My City campaign, and everything in between!

Gaz has been invited out for the night, so you’ve got Ben and Jake this week in a bumper episode!

As always, drop us a review, tell a mate, and we’ll see you next week! Up the Imps
Well… that was a game on Saturday, wasn’t it? Possibly the worst home performance in a very long time finds Ben and Gaz scrambling for something positive to say. We discuss the fallout, the grumbles, and everything stemming from it, as well as looking ahead to the weekend, and getting a bit of Jake’s preview with the SWFC Armed Forces Supporters group!

Ben’s poorly this week, so Gaz and Jake step up to the mic and deliver another dose of the Stacey West Podcast into your player of choice!
This week, we’re discussing the postponement of Fleetwood, the disappointment of Bolton, and the upcoming visit of Gillingham. Away from games, we look at the impact of the loan players this season, and ask the question “is it really their fault?”
As ever, stick arak under, get subscribed, and Up the Imps
Gaz’s internet has gone bonk thanks to the storms ravaging the UK, so Ben is joined by Jake this week, picking the bones out of the Wycombe game, looking ahead to Fleetwood with Knappers from CodsVlogs, and talking to Liam Scully about the challenges faced during the Doncaster game. Obviously all of our thoughts are with the gentleman who was taken ill during the game, and here’s to a full recovery.
As Liam mentions in the podcast, if there are any comments or queries, please email feedback@theredimps.com to allow a bigger picture of the views from the stands on Tuesday, and another big thank you for taking the time to respond to the initial comments coming from fans.

It seems that a podcast is your preferred way to consume content; the John Marquis dog walk got 150% more listeners in one day than the typical YouTube video does in a week!
Therefore, whetting your appetite for the proper podcast tomorrow here's this morning's dog walk looking at the possible capture of a 'project player'.
Bear with us here; as some of you may know, Gary does a YouTube video every so often, called the dog walk, because he films it on his, well, dog walk. It's Gary, talking about Lincoln into the camera for half an hour.
There have been some requests for it to be made available as a podcast as well, so let's see how it goes. There are no promises more will come after this, we'll see. Remember, this is a recording literally taken directly from a video.
The original video can be found here.

What a difference 4 days make, huh? A convincing set of back to back wins, a couple of new signings and hopefully a reset to the Imps’ season sees things improving all round! Gaz and Ben talk through the two wins, a magnificent performance from Chris Maguire midweek, and the rest of the depleted Imps squad for 180 minutes! We also look ahead to Cambridge and discuss everything else Imps related!
As always, get yourself subscribed, and we’ll see you next week - Up the Imps!
It’s 2022, which means one thing - The transfer window is open! Ben and Gaz discuss Morgan Whittaker, we touch on the MK game, run over Clive and Michael’s recent comments in the press, and discuss our top moments of 2021 - fair to say that a lot of them were from the first 6 months of the year!
As always, get subscribed, and up the imps!
Ben and Gaz are live and in person, sitting in Liam’s office and chatting with chairman Clive Nates, as well as getting to chat to the Imps’ newest investor, Harvey Jabara. You don’t want to miss this one, with Harvey providing a fantastic insight into his motivation for investing into the club, his relationship with Landon Donovan, and his thoughts on Lincoln as a city and a club. Liam also provides an update on the current situation around Covid and the club, while Gary asks insightful questions and Ben gets bullied. Standard Stacey West Podcast stuff, to be honest! Big thanks to Clive, Liam and Harvey for taking the time to speak with us, and hopefully provide some more detail on the behind the scenes picture at Sincil Bank! From Ben, Gaz and Jake, we hope you have a fantastic Christmas, and we’ll see you soon. Up The Imps!
Ben’s back, Football’s cancelled, so here’s a 3pm Saturday podcast for your delectation! We talk about the obvious situation, answer a bunch of questions and discuss whether we’ll see some football this side of 2022 (spoilers: we do not.)
Thank you for your continued support, and we’ll see you next week, hopefully with a very special podcast indeed!
It's time for episode 150, which isn't special, because we didn't get timings right. Still, what better way to celebrate than packing Ben off to his room and letting Gary and Jake run riot. What could be better? The other 149 episodes? yeah, you're probably right.
It's FA Cup misery, Crewe misery, possible Cheltenham misery and a bit of fun too. Enjoy
Another tough week in the Imps’ season, but Gaz is back, we’re dissecting November as a whole, as well as finding out that we’re in people’s Spotify Wrapped lists, which is a lovely little boost!

Well this has been a fun week, hasn’t it? “Indifferent” performances against Doncaster and Portsmouth see Ben and Jake licking their wounds a little bit, but previewing Accrington at home, as well as picking the bones out of the last two games.

Yep, it’s another episode of the Stacey West Podcast, with Gary and a much less poorly Ben! We discuss Wednesday, Wigan and look ahead to Shrewsbury, before drawing the Stacey West Redevelopment Raffle! The second part went out on a live video originally, so there may be some visual gags that don’t quite stick, but we’ve included it here for posterity! Congrats to everyone who won, and big thanks to everyone who got involved - over £2000 was raised to help redevelop the Stacey West Stand!
It’s Friday, it’s podcast time, but Ben’s poorly so it’s a shorter one this week. We’re joined by Gaz’s buddy Chris to preview the Sheffield Wednesday game, briefly touch on the Charlton game, and dissect the Wimbledon game!

It’s Friday, but it’s not 12 o clock… There’s a reason for the slightly earlier podcast, however. The Imps have just launched their brand new Third Shirt, and we’re here to talk about it! Appreciated, it’s an audio medium talking about a visual item, but… Y’know, exclusives and that.
We also talk Burton (yay!), Morecambe (boo), Plymouth (hmmm), and the raffle (wow!)

And yes, we ask about season cards, with a very interesting answer that explains a lot!

A surprise ast this week due to other commitments, Ben and Gaz talk all things Imps, including the triumphant return of TJ Eyoma, which Ben missed thanks to the queues, Fleetwood, Bolton, Wycombe, and a lot of ranting about cheap pubs that haven’t really done anything with lockdown to improve themselves!

League football is back! Ben and Gaz talk about Gillingham and the fallout from it, Shrewsbury and look ahead to a return to the Bank against Fleetwood. We also discuss music. We say discuss, Ben ends up defending his musical taste against a barrage of awful takes from Gary. And it can’t be denied, because Ben writes the descriptions!
See you next week, and Up The Imps!
Football’s back! With new signings, new teams and most importantly, new artwork! Ben and Gaz discuss the runners and riders in League One, as well as look ahead to the Gillingham game.
Ahhh, it feels food to be back!
The restart of the weekly pods begins, with Gaz and Ben discussing the new signings, wishing MA all the best in his fight against cancer, and answering a ton of “one per person” questions that were, as ever, incredibly varied!
Gary and Ben are back, with a little bit about England before diving into the latest news from the Imps. We'll be honest, we were going to drop a podcast last week, but we decided to wait until there was some actual news, and then the club dropped literally all of the news in a few days! Oh, there's also a bit where Ben's reminded about a story that's definitely not podcast-able about Batman.
Anyway, like and subscribe, all that good stuff.
We're back! We said we might do a bonus episode, but there wasn't really too much news so we didn't. Sorry about that, but we've jammed it all into today's episode!
We talk about Harry's departure, the first of 5 shirt sponsors, Gary's secret superhero alter-ego, and our close season pet peeves in another bumper Stacey West Podcast!
Well, 2020/21 is over. Ben and Gaz look back with mixed emotions on a day at Wembley, take a look at the new shirt, discuss the Golden xG award, and more in the final regular pod of the season!
As ever, like, share, subscribe, all that jazz, and a genuine & heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you beautiful people who download this podcast every week and make it a genuine joy to do. Up The Imps.
Gaz is 'on assignment' this week, so Ben and Jake take you through quite possibly the most ridiculous playoff weekend in history, the ticketing saga, and then look ahead to the biggest game in the club's history at Wembley! And, what's more, they're both incredibly positive! What a difference a few weeks makes, eh?
As ever, get on it, like and subscribe, share etc, and we'll hopefully see you next week for a dissection of the weekend.
This week's podcast is the best kind of three-way, with Ben, Gaz AND Jake talking all things playoffs, being back at the Bank, Josef Bursik, and previewing Saturday with an air of cautious optimism!
Will we be back next week? Yes. Will we be quite as positive? Well... Hopefully!
Like, subscribe, all that jazz.
Yes, it's Monday. But we were busy last week and wanted to see the weekend out before recording the preview.
Exciting times as Ben and Gaz get ready for the biggest games in the club's history - The League One Playoffs! Can we get to the Championship? Will we be able to cause yet another upset? Will your estimations of Gaz drop after he tells you about his underwear? Only time will tell.
A day late, but not a buck short, Gary and Ben are here once again to discuss the goings on at LCFC. We talk Charlton (and why it ultimately doesn't matter), Gary tries to convince Ben that THAT decision last week was a good thing, we look ahead to Wimbledon, then take some questions and have a discussion about problematic musicians.
You wouldn't expect anything less, surely?
In a one-off special, Graham Burrell, club photographer for more than 20 years, joins Gary in The Staying Inn bar for a chat about the Imps, his career snapping pictures and his time as an Imps fan.
Picking a headline was tough, but it was either this or 'Chris Waddle Thought I Was Paul Farman's Dad'. Not sure which is better!
There are 3 games to go and Lincoln City are still in with an outside shout of automatic promotion to the Championship. How's that for a first line? What a season.
A packed podcast this week, we talk about investment, season tickets, 3 games, and we're also joined by Kate Jackson to talk about the Lincoln Pride supporters' group! We also talk social media blackouts, dogs (again) and a bit of behind-the-curtain chat about how recording this week was like watching a Tarantino movie. Because of the editing, not because it's got a bunch of hyper violence. Obviously.
What a difference 2 weeks makes... Ben and Gary are full of the joys of spring and football this week, with discussion around the quietest week in football for a while... Yeah, we talk about the Super League, as well as the Bristol Rovers, Burton and Hull games.
We also talk about whether friend of the pod Jack should get a dog. It's a no brainer, really.
It's Friday, and you know what that means... After a slightly downbeat podcast last week, Gary returns with an abundance of joy and a little bit of a cold, as the lads look back over two very strong performances against Blackpool and MK Dons, and preview the Bristol Rovers game.
Over an hour of your regularly scheduled nonsense this week, with some apologies from Ben for a weird audio issue (I think it was picking up the wrong microphone so it sounds a bit 'harsh'!)
As ever, tell a mate, join us next week where we'll hopefully be looking at an even more improved league table!
Ben's joined by Jake this week, as Gary is another victim of the Lincoln City injury crisis... Of sorts. He's full of cold.
However, Jake deputises admirably, with a preview of Blackpool, followed by a discussion about Sam Long's call up to the England goalkeeper training camp, and we wrap up with some Wembley memories!
Something to brighten up your Monday this week... Well, kinda. Ben and Gary are here to discuss the Oxford game, and all of the associated fallout, as well as answer some questions and talk all about the current injury and illness criss that's hitting the Imps right now.
As ever, like and subscribe, tell a mate, and we'll see you on Thursday as we look ahead to the Easter Weekend!
Instead of your usual podcast, Jake Tonge is joined by Joe Cittrone to take you through the Imps' trip to Oxford in League One.
Ben and Gary will be analysing the game over the weekend and bringing you the usual eclectic mix of chatter, insight and xG before Monday.
After a bit of a tough week for the imps, Ben and Gaz are looking back at Gillingham and Sunderland, as well as taking your questions and going off on some tangents. It is the Stacey West podcast anyway!
Apologies for being a bit late this week, this is all explained in the pod. Enjoy, see you on Friday, and up the imps!
Friday. Noon. Podcast. You know the drill. Ben and Gaz talk about the week in Lincoln City, including the demolition of Crewe, the draw at Ipswich, and preview what should be 3 points at Rochdale. We also talk about perishing pants and resin. Yep, sounds about right!
If you already got this one, apologies! Ben uploaded the wrong file initially...
Friday. Noon. You know the drill. It's a Stacey West Podcast! We talk about a poor week in terms of results, look ahead to Crewe, and go off on a bit of a ramble about movies toward the end. It's your regular dose of nonsense from two blokes talking about LCFC!
As always, share, like, comment, all that jazz, we'll see you next week. Up The Imps!
Ahead of this year's AGM and Fans' Forum, Ben and Gaz talk about the big news of the night - new deals for Michael Appleton, Anthony Scully and Remy Howarth! Also, the Swindon game is dissected, Plymouth is previewed, and football stickers are mentioned yet again...
Well it's been a week, hasn't it? Some may say there were 2 points dropped on Sunday, but with the disappointment of getting dumped out of the Trophy still fresh, Ben and Gaz sit and talk about the Imps once more.
Also discussed: Wigan, briefly touching on Swindon, and injury talk!
It's Friday, there's football happening, so it's back to your regularly scheduled weekly podcast about all things Lincoln City! Ben and Gary are here once again to talk about the Hull draw, preview Accrington and talk about Sunderland, as well as the Season Ticket credit options put forward by the club!
As always, tell a friend, subscribe, stay safe, and all that good stuff.
A rare Saturday podcast with a 2-review content bonanza! Gary and Ben go through the memory of Doncaster, then go in depth into Gillingham and Hull in the trophy, discuss signings and talk about Hull in the League! A bumper one this weekend!
Catch you next week, and Up the Imps!
It's Friday, the Imps are top of the league, and we've got some massive games coming up. Only one thing for it, two blokes sitting and talking nonsense, as well as some relatively in depth coverage of the goings on at Sincil Bank!
As ever, give us a subscribe, tell a friend and most importantly, don't be a d*ck. We'll see you next week!
It's Friday, we've got some football to talk about, so let's have it! Ben and Gary discuss all things Lincoln City once again, looking ahead to the Northampton and Portsmouth games, while also discussing the departures of Robbie Gotts and Zack Elbouzedi.
As ever, get subscribed, tell a mate, and help the pod grow! Does anyone read these?
It's Friday, so here's a new episode of the Stacey West Podcast for you all! This week, you can find out answers to the great questions in life, such as:
Will Brennan Johnson be staying at Lincoln? Will we get round to all of your questions? Will Ben's autocorrect change Gaz to Gas this week?
All this and more!
Gas provides the podcast title this week with the most Lincolnshire thing anyone has ever said to anyone, ever. We also recorded this shortly after the Peterborough game, which was analysed, before we took a look at the Accrington game and debated whether to discuss Shrewsbury or not (we didn't).
Here's to 2021 being another banger of a year for the imps!!
It's the live Christmas special, recorded on video and featuring visuals (you can't hear), body language (you can't hear) and Jake Tonge (you can't hear). Also, special guests from Newark, the United States and Sheffield. It's worth a listen if you have a couple of hours to spare.
It's that time of the week, where 2 blokes talk Lincoln City, except this week we're joined by Jake for the preview section! Ben and Gaz dissect the Sunderland and Shrewsbury defeats, while we then look forward to Northampton with a slightly more positive attitude, but not without discussing Ariana Grande, plans for our Christmas Party, and a bunch of other topics...
As ever, subscribe, tell a mate, all will be well with the world. Maybe.
Ben and Gaz are back again to discuss all things Lincoln City, previewing Sunderland and looking back over the comprehensive wins over Rochdale and Shrewsbury, before turning their attention to the game next Tuesday against Shrewsbury again!
As ever, like and share the pod, get subscribed and we'll see you next week
Gary's back! We sit and talk about the Wigan win, preview Rochdale, discuss the bailout and "The Tommo Trouble", as well as touching briefly on the pizza trophy game against the Shrews next week.
As ever, subscribe, tell a friend, all that jazz. We'll see you next week!
Gary is tied up with other commitments this week, so Ben is joined by Jake on the podcast this week (to add to the sterling work he's been doing on the preview videos for the SW!)
We discuss Accrington, Swindon, the dangling carrot that is fans returning to Sincil Bank, and eventually remember that we've got a game next Tuesday against Wigan!
It's Gary's birthday! Or at least it was when this was recorded... What better way to celebrate than to sit and talk about the imps with Ben, eh?
We talk about the fallout from last week's podcast and the government's bailout, addressing why the headline isn't all it seems, as well as discussing Man City, Accrington and Swindon!
After a week away from talking football, Ben's back! He and Gaz sit down to shoot the shh... breeze about the Forest Green game, the FA Cup draw, the extended break, and welcome Connor Casement of the 617 Squadron onto the podcast to talk about the boys' new campaign, "Shed Light on the Plight of English Football"
As ever, subscribe to the pod, tell a mate, and keep crossing your fingers that we'll all be allowed back soon enough.
Due to Ben's commitments, Gary takes over for one week only and talks FGR, Portsmouth and Gillingham cancellation (eventually).
He also might call it episode 103. Which it isn't.
It's almost the weekend, so Ben and Gaz are here to talk nonsense about the imps, discuss the phenomenal display against Crewe, preview the Doncaster game, and put some things into an Imps Room 101... Will your pet hates be cast away?
The audio from our celebratory live show, filmed on October 22nd. Over 2500 votes, more than 130 players and we're down to the last 25. Gary and Ben take you through the list, with special guests including Simon Yeo, Grant Brown, Gordon Hobson, Alan Marriott and Harry Anderson. NOT TO BE MISSED,
Another hour of Imps-related rambling from Ben and Gaz is hitting your ears a little later than usual this week. Of course, it was entirely planned and nothing to do with illness...
We talk about Bristol Rovers, Fleetwood, an incoming and a few outgoings at the club, as well as look ahead to the live special next week for episode 100!
Time for another Stacey West Podcast! Ben and Gaz battle through technical issues and noisy neighbours to bring you the latest news and preview the Bristol Rovers game. We also discuss Blackpool, Mansfield, Jamie Soule, Brennan Johnson and more!
We discuss three clubs with premier league experience this week... And Mansfield. We look ahead to Blackpool, dissect Charlton and briefly mention Liverpool, before we're joined by Liam Scully to discuss the current uncertainty around football in general, the ideas behind the Season Ticket plans, and the future of the club. Enjoy!
It's Thursday, it's the date of one of the club's biggest fixtures in recent memory, and it's only right that Ben and Gary give you the rundown!
As ever, drop us a review, leave us a like, tell a friend, do whatever. Does anyone even read these?
Ben and Gary are back once again, like the renegade masters. Talking all things Lincoln City, we discuss the start to the league campaign, the start to the Carabao campaign, and look ahead to our fixtures with MK and the Premier League Champions... Bit of a daunting one!
Ben and Gary are back, to discuss some ACTUAL LEAGUE FOOTBALL! Yep, for the first time since March, the Imps are playing some competitive games, and we're here to talk about it all. We also spend the second half of the pod talking about who we think will end up in the top 6 and bottom 4 of the league, with some interesting picks!
As ever, like, share and subscribe if you haven't, we'll see you next week! Up the Imps!
Day follows night, the Pope wears a hat, and Lincoln City announce some news in between us recording and the podcast releasing. Some things are just facts of life. Either way, we're here to talk about new signing Remy Howarth, some potential other signings, iFollow and a bunch of other bits, including our first competitive game since March against Crewe!
As ever, do the social stuff, like us, follow us and tell a friend. We'll see you next week for the season kick off!
It's a Saturday release this week (we'll get back to normal when the season kicks off, promise), so Ben and Gaz get talking about the imps once again! In this week's pod we say goodbye to Cian Bolger, hello to Theo Archibald, and discuss the pre season friendlies, as well as the new retro shirt!
As ever, drop us a comment, share us about and review us on iTunes, we'll see you next week!
Ben and Gary are once again in your lugholes, this time nice and early to hopefully get ahead of some rumoured news!
On the docket this week: Some more new signings, some news on when we might be able to get back into Sincil Bank and the procedures we'll need to follow, and an actual 90 minutes of actual football to talk about. Admittedly it's a friendly against Salford, but still... FOOTBALL!
As ever, drop us a like and all that jazz, leave us a review and we'll see you next week!
A little later than usual, thanks to some blazing heat and an exciting new signing, Ben and Gary talk through the arrival of Liam Bridcutt, the nail in the coffin in the "potential returns" hopes, and discuss a couple of rumours, in the ninetieth(!) episode of the Stacey West Podcast!
As always, drop us a review and a comment, we'll see you later this week for more Imps chat!
Another one, so soon?! Ben and Gary are back after a gap of a week, it's just like old times... Anyway, this week it's time to talk about new signings, as well as taking a bunch of questions, and discussing some late breaking news at the end of the recording!
As ever, leave us a like, comment and review, subscribe to the podcast, tell a friend and we'll see you all next week! Probably.
It's that time again, we get together and talk about all things Lincoln City and League One! This week, we talk about the new kit, the new teams coming down from the Championship, and the new signings!
Thank you for sticking with us during this incredibly weird time, we hope you're all enjoying it as much as we are doing them. Much love, Ben and Gaz
Ben and Gary are still in some form of lockdown, so we're bringing you the latest news from Lincoln City FC in the best way we know how - slightly grumpy and in audio form!
We know it's been 4 weeks since the last one, but we'll make damn sure that the next one won't take quite so long... All will be revealed soon, I guess?
Ben and Gaz are back again to discuss the decision to curtail the League 2 season, and what it could mean for the imps. Also on the docket today are the Season Ticket renewal options, and Gary's bacon sandwich/peanut combo which causes him a bit of trouble!
As ever, drop us a like and leave us a comment and a review, we'll be back soon, and hopefully with some special guests! Up The Imps.
Ben and Gary take a break from uncontrollably sobbing at the loss of Michael Bostwick to bring you the reaction to what has to be one of the most disappointing retained lists from the club. Of course, we all know it's not going to be football related, but it still stings.
We also talk about Eventbrite, and discuss the bizarre goings on in the skies over Gary!
Don't call it a comeback. But we're back! There's still no actual football to talk about, so instead we mull over the possible endings to the season, talk about the situation in general, then devolve into some utter madness involving stickers, for some reason. Also, Gary's recording from his shed-in-progress, so there's a little bit of birdwatching going on as well!
Hopefully everyone's staying safe out there, don't hesitate to hit us up on social media if you're feeling the pressures right now, as it's incredibly hard for all of us right now. Imps as One, and all that.
Much love, B&G
A little later than normal, here's episode 83 of the Stacey West Podcast!
Big thanks to Liam Scully for joining Ben on this week's episode, where we spoke about adjusting to the new normalities of life, and the discussions that are happening behind the scenes at the club to ensure that things are going as smoothly as they can. We also chew the fat over the situations with player contracts, the Supporters Board minutes, and an absolutely epic bike ride from Harry Anderson!

Don't call it a comeback, but Ben and Gary are back with another podcast! 82 episodes in, and we don't think anyone saw this situation coming.

As ever, stay safe and give us a review on iTunes, we'll see you next week.
Well the last week's been a bit weird, hasn't it?! Ben and Gaz are back to talk about... Well... Anything and everything, seeing as there's not really any football. We put the call out for questions and discuss everything from new grounds to toast, and from dinosaurs to the league finishing!
In all seriousness, please do keep yourselves safe, we know it's difficult right now but we're all imps, aren't we?
Give us a review on iTunes, send us your questions on Twitter, and we'll see you next week. Much love.
Yep it's the subject on everyone's lips, but we try not to let it get the conversation as down as it did last week. We talk about the Coronavirus briefly, a bit about mental health, and then discuss the weekend's bizarre game against Burton, the upcoming clash with Tranmere and a bunch of other stuff in-between!
As ever, drop us a review, subscribe and tell a friend, and we'll see you next week!
(Oh, also, we know it's a Friday release again. See, when it's Gaz's fault, we don't make a big deal out of it ;))
It's a day late, but it's here! This week's SW Pod is a discussion around Jason Shackell, Tyrees John Jules, Burton and finding ourselves sounding a lot more negative than we'd like to be... Still, we're all imps, and we've made sure our season tickets are renewed! Have you renewed yours? Do let Mr Pearson know on Twitter ;)
