The Scarf Bergara Wore

The end of an era.We sat down with Ben Hinchliffe in front of a live audience at The VITA Bar as he prepares to leave Stockport County after an incredible ten-year spell at Edgeley Park and begin the next chapter of his career.This isn't a podcast about appearances, clean sheets or league titles – although there are plenty of those. Instead, it's a chance to get to know the man behind the gloves.From goalkeeping techniques, mindset and bouncing back from mistakes, to dressing-room stories, favourite memories and some of the more important questions in life... Sunday roast or chippy tea?It's funny, reflective, emotional and, at times, genuinely moving. There were plenty of laughs along the way, but also more than a few watery eyes in the room.Whether you've watched Ben from National League North to League One, or simply want to hear from one of the most important figures in County's modern history, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Enjoy.Don't forget to get your County vs Preston testimonial tickets via the club.Golf day enquiries, email BHTestimonial@hotmail.comThe BeeU charity: www.beeualways.com (website not live yet, coming soon)Gin Launch is SOLD OUT!

It's all about Wembley, as we prepare for the League One play-off showdown this weekend. Russ, Andy and Steve are joined by Ben Robinson (aka Elite Ginge) to chat all things County, ticketing, travel plans, weather and anything else related to the big day. PLUS, there's an announcement of what lies ahead for the podcast, including news about a certain player who's got a testimonial this year.

In this high-stakes edition of The Scarf Bergara Wore, host Steve is joined by Dan from the Bolton Fanzone Podcast for an all-North-West battle royale to preview Sunday’s massive League One Play-Off Final at Wembley. With a coveted ticket to the Championship on the line, we lift the hood on both camps to dissect everything from the frantic local ticket scramble and brutal dawn travel logistics to the massive tactical talking points shaping the match. We dig into the major injury concerns surrounding Bolton skipper Eoin Toal, how the Wembley pitch alters both sides' styles, and how the opposition views County from the outside looking in. Turn it up as we debate squad depth and lock in our definitive score predictions ahead of Sunday's monumental clash.
