The Preview 25/26: Grimsby Town (A)

Author: The Loathed Strangers April 24, 2026 Duration: 40:20
Episode 984: While the end of season accolades are flowing in, Swindon have to put the trinkets to one side as they prepare for a daunting full house at Blundell Park after Grimsby broke into the playoff pack midweek, and would love nothing more than spoiling the party for their old manager. Joe and JR discuss this, a title push for STFC Women and also a hint at the future of the academy. With a voicenote from Alex of the DN35 Podcast.

For supporters who live and breathe the red of Swindon Town, there’s a familiar, if sometimes pained, conversation that happens after every match. Loathed Strangers: Swindon Town Podcast is that conversation, captured in audio form. Since starting up in 2017, the independent fan-led podcast has been a constant companion through every high, low, and bewildering moment the club delivers. The hosts, simply known as The Loathed Strangers, don’t claim any special insider access-just the shared, passionate perspective of fans in the stands, dissecting performances, boardroom drama, and transfer rumours with equal parts humour and frustration. Tuning in feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair in the pub with friends who get it. You’ll hear honest, often unfiltered reactions to the weekend’s game, deep dives into the issues shaping the club’s future, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from following a team through all its trials. It’s a dedicated space for the Swindon faithful, by the Swindon faithful, where the only agenda is talking about the club they love, however maddening it can be. This podcast is hosted on Acast.
