Episodes
The last episode of the regular season of the Stacey West podcast, but the ushering in of a new era as we start to record live. Sadly, the play-offs were denied at the final hurdle but there's plenty to discuss. We're going back over the game, and looking ahead to the retained list. Who would you keep? Gary identifies a loan player who could have an impact next season, and we're even talking food. Obviously. This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West...

Well this has been a hell of a season, hasn't it?! With the final game of the regular season looming, and the champions coming to town, the Imps have something riding on it, and we couldn't be more nervous about it. Not that you'd know it, as we try and quash those fears with a bumper edition of the podcast this week! Before we get into the on pitch stuff though, we talk all about the new substantial investment in the club from Ron and Andrew Fowler, ponder who could be making a return based...

This week, we're dissecting the 2-1 win at Cheltenham Town, which leaves us in control of our destiny next weekend. We're trying not to look too far ahead, so after 30 minutes of Cheltenham chatter, we're talking about the FA Cup, and a presentation we saw last week by Logan Hughes. We're also talking a little about Gateshead, and the farce that is the National League administration. All this plus Chris's Spaghetti Bolognese, Wroot Rocks and more.

Just when you think it is all over, everything changes. Again. Gary and Charlie are here to talk about the win against Oxford United, which has left us back in the play-off hunt. We look ahead to Cheltenham, and then ahead still toward the final game of the season. Could we do it?

It's episode 292 of the Stacey West Podcast, and it's a tough one to record. Defeat against Wigan has brought our long unbeaten run to an end, and left our play-off hopes hanging by a thread. We discuss the key moments, but we do so after collectively completing the Lincoln 10k, a monumental effort by the team and one we're proud of. However, it does mean we're a little low energy. We're looking ahead to Oxford, more in hope than anything, and wondering if the ride really is over for a few...

It's Thursday, it's the Stacey West Podcast day, you know what to do. This week, we take it a little bit old school as Ben and Gaz talk all things Imps, looking ahead to Saturday's game against Wigan at the Bank. We also discuss the our top picks for possible Players of the Season, discuss a couple of transfer rumours, and look ahead with varying degrees of trepidation to the Lincoln 10k on Sunday! A massive thanks to everyone who's contributed to our phenomenal total, we're absolutely blown...

It's Sunday, and you know what that means. Time for us to have a look at the 1-1 draw at Reading, pick it apart and discuss the remainder of the season. Did it feel like a loss yesterday? Are the nerves kicking in? It's a question that's posed, and answered. With Oxford winning, it put a bit of doubt in everyone's minds, but we look back at the predictions that were made and realise things might not be as off track as we thought... We also talk about a couple of other bits of news and...

It's a bumper episode this week. We're talking Carlisle United (although Gary forgot we'd played until minutes before the pod was recorded). There's a preview of Reading, with Johnny Hunt from Talking Royals on the show. We've got a snippet of the excellent Colin Alcide podcast for you, just to tempt people to listen to that, and we're also looking at Lincoln United's remarkable run in the FA Vase, as they prepare to host Romford in a winner-takes-all game for a place at Wembley. Up the...

It's numbered 6, as we have previously spoken to Gavin Gordon, Mark Hone & Roger Holmes. However, this is the third in a new series hosted by Gary and former Lincoln City player Paul De Garis, following on from Matt Carmichael and Simon Yeo. Colin Alcide signed for the Imps in 1995, having to turn professional to do so. He had previously played for Emley (twice) and Altrincham, mainly as a defender. He was signed by John Beck, and pitched straight into a survival battle, which the Imps...

Another week, another win, and Lincoln City have cracked the top six. With six games to go, we're now the side looking most likely to finish in the final play-off place. As you can imagine, this has caused some excitement around the Stacey West Podcast, and you'll be delighted to know we're pushing an hour and ten minutes this week. It's a podcast special, a bonus hot on the heels of Thursday's show. Hopefully, it's worth a listen! Up the Imps! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by...

After a week of no football, the Imps have two games this week, so we're here to take a look at both of them! We take a look at Leyton Orient and briefly discuss Carlisle, before Chris dives deep into a stat-based rabbit hole. We also discuss whether "Pressiest" is a word (According to Chris, it is), get excited at a rare full house at the Bank, and discuss Ben House's return to the squad. As always, get yourself subscribed! We're not sure if we'll have a Sunday podcast due to it being...

With no Imps game to talk about this weekend, we're taking a look at a couple of talking points instead. First up, we take a look at our loanees and give their current situations a once over. Sam Long, Jaden Brown, Ali Smith and more all get a look in here! Next up, we're talking about the big thing. The run-in. We look at Oxford, Stevenage and Blackpool's fixtures, and have a little game of predicting where the four teams will finish! Will the Imps land 6th place according to us? We've tried...

It's the international break, which means no game for the Imps this weekend. So instead, we've got something a little different for you! Chris and Charlie sit down to talk about the past, present and future of Lincoln City's Academy! Charlie had the pleasure of discussing things with Jez this week, and he brings some of his newly found knowledge to all of you. Chris recounts some of his time spent in the Academy, before we take a look at some of the players who've come through the system, we...

Not that much to talk about on this St Patrick's Day if you're an imp, is there? Just the 16 goals in three games, another dismantling of a decent side, and within two points of the coveted sixth spot. The freight train that is Lincoln City's current run is at full speed, and we're here to ride it all the way! We are, of course, looking at the game yesterday, taking the positives (and the negative) away from it, and finding it increasingly hard to keep our feet firmly on the ground. You've...

Well, that was a fun week, wasn't it? Hot on the heels of the 5-1 away win at Barnsley, we're talking about another six goal thriller against Cambridge, and trying (while not succeeding) to keep our feet firmly on the ground with regard to the P word! We also talk about the international break, the reluctance of those above us in the pyramid to sort out a financial deal, and look ahead to Bristol Rovers. No preview in the podcast this week due to a tight turnaround time, but be sure to check...

Gary and Charlie discuss the 5-1 victory at Barnsley. Of course, it's all about the possible play-off push (again) despite last week's knowing denial of our chances. We're breaking down the goals, and looking ahead to Cambridge., Tom, from Under the Abbey Stand, joins Charlie for a chat to chew over that game. Gary is drunk throughout and signing off for a couple of weeks. That means a bit off swearing. This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Gary Hutchinson of the Stacey West...

Gary and Chris sit down to talk about Stevenage. Both are under the weather - but we still plough on to give you 70 minutes of Lincoln City joy. Perhaps, during the first 20 minutes, we're a little bitter. Still, it gets better. No, really, it does.

Nine games unbeaten has us in a solid mood to talk about the Imps this week, as we dissect the demolition of Shrewsbury, before looking ahead to Stevenage's visit on Saturday! Charlie is joined by Pat from the Boropod to get their take on things! We also talk about Ethan Hamilton's season ending prematurely, and maybe see some flickers of concern about the midfield for the weekend, after Michael Skubala revealed that another player is a possible doubt for the game... We also go into the usual...

It's that time again, when the Stacey West team talk about a game they saw. Or, in Gary's case this week, barely saw, despite being there. We're looking at Port Vale, and of course, picking at that little play-off thread once again. Then, because the game was a little bit tedious, we're off on a tangent, asking who we hate more; Forest Green or Grimsby. Then we're on the Golden Share, national news this week, before finishing on Shrewsbury, and how it's a winnable game that could bring us to...

It's Thursday, you know what that means... Time to talk all things Lincoln City!

We also talk about some of the contracted players who we believe are up at the end of the season, and who we should bust a gut to keep! Lasse features. A lot. And to round it off, we give a...
