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.

Faith, Folklore & Football
Every supporter’s got one — a lucky scarf, a ritual walk, a pre-match pint that can’t be skipped. They don’t change the scoreline, but somehow, they make the game feel right.
In this episode of Turnstiles & Touchlines, we explore the strange and beautiful faith that runs through football — from the routines and superstitions of fans and players to the folklore that turns ordinary matches into legend.
The matchday rituals that make football feel sacred.
The superstitions that keep hope alive.
The folklore that connects generations of supporters.
Plus, this week’s Premier League and Championship results and a trip to the Away End, where loyalty and belief meet on the road.
Because in football, belief isn’t just in miracles — it’s in moments, memories, and the small acts of faith that make us keep coming back.
