The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast - Episode 18

On Episode 18 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast we have a FIRST. We have a GUEST, and a very special one at that.  A man so recognisable at Boro and around the whole Championship scene that like Madonna & Pele, he only goes by a single name - welcome to the podcast YUSUF. This is not a podcast about BORO, it's about a genuine fan evolution to being a season card holder and an active away fan and we hope that any football fan will enjoy this and reflect on their journey to becoming a fan of their own club too. We cover a fascinating journey - starting with how and why an 8 year old kid living near Wembley came to recognise that a team from Middlesbrough even existed and then, with all of the Greater London options available to start his active follower to supporter to match going fan journey, he still chose a club over 250 miles away? We cover some great stuff with a really engaging guest including: What was the journey from a kid to a match going bloke? What does a typical matchday look like - Saturday & Midweek? How does he manage so much travel on public transport? What does Yusuf most enjoy about being an active Boro fan? Where is the most difficult stadium for him to get to for a game? Any travel or match day disasters to share? Being high profile, dealing with some of the "attention" from other fans What Is in a typical Yusuf match day pack-up? and much more..... We think any proper fan, especially match-going fans will LOVE this episode and we are delighted that YUSUF has been our very first podcast guest.
