    UTAS En España: Day 3

    It’s the third and final instalment of UTAS on tour in Spain. On this episode Tom and Jules report live from the Preston friendly, trying and failing to stay out of the baking temperatures, chatting about the 1-0 win and reviewing their time in Murcia.

    Thank you everyone for listening, it’s been brilliant to be able to bring people along for the ride who couldn’t make it and get some great insight into the club along the way.

It was far more ups than downs though, and Part Two takes us from December through to the promotion-winning end of the season, and includes the panel’s nominations for their awards for the season.

    The 25/26 Season Review (Part One)

    What a season that was. The numbers do all the talking, but how does a two hour review of every month of the campaign sound? That’s what UTAS are here for. Jord, Jules, Jack and Tom braved the heatwave for a long recording session in the Portland studio, looking back over the season month-by-month and handing out some awards. Part One takes us from pre-season to the end of November, just as our form starts to turn for the better.
