  • Always a great listen

    Thought it was unusual when Ben started talking about how pro Donald Trump he is, but I’ll let the boys off.

  • Funny & Informative YCFC podcast

    Same Old City has become an essential listen for fans of York City. There’s a good mix of debate, analysis and input from York and other teams fans along with the dry humour required to follow a team like York, even when York hit rock bottom early in my listening experience. The dynamic between the hosts works well with both showing enthusiasm and passion with one being a little more outspoken which adds to the listening experience.

  • Another sunrise with my sad captains

    Same Old City is a modern day classic focussing on the statistical analysis of probably the worst professional football team in the country. The oft bewildered tone of the presenters matches perfectly the confusion and dismay of the wider fan base. In short and in the words of a famous boy from Bury ‘we’re plummeting like crippled crows’ (but we’re doing it together)

  • It’s getting better all the time.

    All YCFC should give this a listen and where else can you see Neal Ardley’s head photoshopped onto Britney Spears body! Genuinely excellent stuff.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Other Side: Tamworth (H) preview with Brett from TFC Social
Q: What would a successful season look like for Tamworth in terms of league position this year?
The goal is simply to stay up and maintain a sustainable approach in their current setup, with a focus on local players and keeping the club stable year on year, rather than chasing quick fixes.
The Other Side: Tamworth (H) preview with Brett from TFC Social
Q: In terms of the playing style and new signings, is there anyone else we should be watching out for besides the obvious names?
Brett mentions Harvey Sayer as a notable signing who has started to make a real difference with his crossing ability and rising trajectory, and notes that Manu Duku brings a different dynamic up front, even if he's still adapting to the system.
The Other Side: Tamworth (H) preview with Brett from TFC Social
Q: Firstly, how are you expecting Tamworth to set up away at York and what are you kind of hoping for from the game?
Brett explains that Tamworth will likely adopt their usual away setup—tight defensively and looking to avoid losing—while hoping for a competitive display and to avoid a tough start that could set the tone early in the game.
