Turnstiles & Touchlines Podcast
Turnstiles & Touchlines is where English football’s passion meets perspective. From the Premier League’s global spectacle to the grit and charm of the EFL, we go beyond the scoreline to explore the tactics, history, culture, and characters that make the beautiful game what it is.
Each week, we break down the matches that matter, share lighter moments in The Halftime Pint, and bring you voices from The Away End — fans, journalists, and local storytellers who live and breathe their clubs. From the terraces to the touchline, we examine how stadiums, neighborhoods, and supporters shape the heartbeat of the game.
Whether you’re standing on the terraces, glued to Match of the Day, or learning why a Tuesday night in Stoke is a thing, this is football from the ground up — connecting the sport’s past with its present and its lasting impact beyond the pitch.

Groundhopping & Pilgrimage: Football’s Travel Culture
Football isn’t only about home turf — it’s about the journeys that take you there. In this episode, we dive into the culture of football travel: the challenge of completing the 92, the loyalty measured in miles, the motorway service stops turned into rituals, and the away ends where a few hundred voices stand against thousands.
From ticket stubs and programmes to chants on train carriages, this is football as pilgrimage — every mile part of the match.
