Review of the Year (Pubcast)

Brighton Rock — Sat, 30 May 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Well that was an interesting season! Plenty of high and lows, a historic second season of European football secured, Fab under pressure mid-season,, Spurs under pressure ALL season, another delicious double over Chelsea, Pep leaving and that’s without getting to Worthing’s triumphant promotion season and The Shegulls making it to their first ever WFA Cup Final.

Reviewing this momentous season are Russ, Pete, Alan & Andy Bass

Stand or fall! UTA! Come on you Shegulls!!!
