#CreweAlex
fan to be blasé but 21 academy players playing for the first team this season is bonkers!
I can not believe what I've just seen!
This team deserves this, not for the last two months, but for the rest of the season.
Two things for you all to get
#CreweAlex
fans -1. your thoughts over to us for the pod. 2. Your wembley tickets!
Clear your schedules for tomorrow! This is a big one! We sat down with
#CreweAlex
manager Dave Artell.
It's close to 2 hrs of measured, calm questioning, holding him to account about what's gone wrong this season. Make sure you listen in tomorrow!
Ladies and gentlemen your 2023/24 Railwaymen Podcast Player Of The Season- Mickey Demetriou!
Congratulations to
@Mickeyd_09
!
Well done as well to;
2nd - Elliott Nevitt
3rd - Luke Offord
4th - Rio Adebisi
Also thank you to everyone who voted, around 3000 votes cast over the week
That one hurts, it's gonna sting for a little while. But I saw Crewe at Wembley with my family and my mates.
There will be a different sort of pod out tomorrow, full of our day at the game. So no intro this week
I'll leave with this - it's amazing to do this with these legends!
🚨100,000 Downloads🚨
It is simply ridiculous for me to say that we, a podcast of fans, talking about
#CreweAlex
have just had our 100,000 download.
Thank you so much if you've appeared on, contributed in any way, or you simply just listen to the pod.
🚨New Competition🚨
We've got this print of Nick Powell's iconic goal for
#CreweAlex
to give away!
To enter just follow us +
@sporting_iconic
and like this tweet before midday Saturday!
And if you've another classic moment in mind then just reply + they'll design it for you!
People of Liverpool and Manchester. Are you in the market for a new locally owned, traditional football team to support in the English football league? You'd do a lot worse than looking just a short distance down the train line!
🚨 New Competition🚨
We are spoiling you
#CreweAlex
fans this week as this is competition No.1 of 2 over the next few days!
To win this copy of Gresty Road all you need to do is retweet this tweet and follow us &
@matthewjiwood
The winner will be announced in the next few days!
In a season of outstanding performances and far exceeding expectations that is far and away the best of the best by a country mile. So proud to be a red tonight!
Whisper it quietly - we may be in a promotion race!
Thoughts for this wks pod anybody? 👇
Can't really believe I'm typing this but we have made it to the
@The_FCAs
finals! Thanks everyone!
As
#CreweAlex
are one of the smallest fanbase in the final, we need everybody to get behind us+ vote!
Go to best podcast - football league + vote for us👇
Absolutely disgraceful. Not only are we expected to accommodate them in this, now, joke of a competition. We're also expected to rearrange league fixtures around their U21s too.
The sooner they all clear off to a European 'super' league the better.
Such a shame for Notts County fans conceding a goal for the first time in their history. Hope the journey home is ok for them.
Let us know know your thoughts for this wks pod 👇
🚨New Pod🚨
I still can't believe we managed to get the
#CreweAlex
manager - Dave Artell, on to our pod! I do wish we could have asked different questions than we did.
I hope you enjoy it, I hope it helps give you some of the answers for this season.
Thank You.
Today saw
@eddienolan1988
released by the Alex. Here at the Railwaymen Podcast we'd like to thank Eddie for his brilliant contribution over the past few years. He was an instrumental part of our club's turnaround.
'We've gottttt EDDIE NOLAN, we've got...'
Let's all remember that he captained us to promotion, playing with a broken foot! He then had us top, and ready for our first ever title win before Covid.
I reckon that's worth a pre-game clap of recognition, before backing the boys to get it done for
#CreweAlex
today!
New pod coming Monday
With no game Saturday this Monday's pod will an ex player pod and I'm delighted to announce it will be with
@DeanGreygoose
. Dean was part of the 1988/89 promotion season, as well as some memorable cup games for the club and it is a fascinating listen!
Out Tomorrow!
Delighted to say that tomorrow we will have our latest player pod.
We sat down with current
#CreweAlex
midfielder
@JackPowell4
to go through his career so far, his time at Crewe and an update on when he'll be back.
It'll be with you all in the morning!
🏆Player Of The Season🏆
Big congratulations to the 2022/23 Railwaymen Podcast Player of the Season - Rod McDonald!
Well done as well to
🥈 Dan Agyei
🥉 Arthur Okonkwo
Thank you to everyone who voted, we'll be presenting Rod with his trophy after the Swindon game
This year's winner of The Railwaymen Podcast Player of the Season Award with a grand total of 232 votes over twitter and fb is Chris Long!
Thank you everyone who took part in the process!
Well that was a superb return to glorious South Cheshire. 3 points, clean sheet and an updated pod photo. Let us know your thoughts for this wk's podcast 👇
What a result!
You can not fault any of those players out there today. Every single one of them put in 100% for the full 90.

Well! Well! Well!
You got a home record to keep intact? If so then don't invite Lee Bell's

4/4 in 2024 so far
If you saw it then do let us know for this week's pod 👇
Congratulations once again to
@Mickeyd_09
for winning this year's Railwaymen Podcast Player of the Season Award!
Much deserved and thank you to everyone who took part in the voting process
Just rewatching the goals again and noticed that someone must have given Big Old George Ray a nudge off camera meaning he was out of position for the tap in!
Better luck next time George!
10 years ago these three played @ anfield , 10 years on Tabs Lewi Leigh & Billo will be gracing the hallow turf of Wembley Stadium 🏟️ in the league two playoff final vs Crawley
This season had been a disaster, and based on that alone it's inevitable
However, he was the captain who got us promoted with a broken foot, and as a manager of a great team.
I hope he gives himself a well deserved break, and if I see him around S. Cheshire I'll buy him a pint.
🚨New pod🚨
We're joined by
@MattTootle
as he takes us through his journey from
#CreweAlex
academy, to first team captain and winning at Wembley. We then move on to his time at
#salop
&
#Notts
giving a full and Frank opinion on his time off the field too!
Best game of the season
Best Crewe performance of the season (by some way)
Some absolutely outstanding individual performances tonight.
Get your thoughts in for this wks pod 👇
🚨Coming Tomorrow🚨
We are delighted to announce that we sat down with Alex Morris for a special podcast going through the start to his time as
#CreweAlex
manager.
It'll be with you in all your normal places Thursday morning!
Whilst the "big 6" have been making plans to leave we've been stuck with their B teams in our cup competition to "help out the national team". Can we now all accept this was a lie, the experiment has failed and let us go back to the old format?
Very rare a player leaves with the absolute backing and well wishes of an entire fan base but
@harrypickering_
deserves it. Fully convinced he's going to smash it in the Champ, and Harry if you ever fancy coming on to talk about your time - you know where we are!
🚨What Crewe Means To Me🚨
I love this series and I'm so glad I've finally managed to get Steve to write his story. There's not many people who care more about
#CreweAlex
than him, and this is a cracking read!

@GMcGarrySport
on Sunday, so get voting. You have until midnight!
#CreweAlex
This has firmly got me in the mood for tomorrow. 👏
Can't deny it's pretty cool, on a personal note, to have my voice played over the top of some tremendous moments in
#CreweAlex
season as well.
Crewe Alex stealing wins and breaking hearts! Finishing the season as THE home form team in the league.
Let us know your thoughts on that one for the final pod of the season
🚨What The Podcast Means To Us!🚨
As we approached the 100k mark I reached out to a number of people to give their thoughts on what we do,
Some people who are very familiar to
#CreweAlex
fans wrote some lovely things, I hope you give it a read!
2023/24 will always be the season that Dave Artell's Grimsby were the only team to have done the double over the Alex.
That's about all I've got to say about the game today.
Let us know your thoughts for this week's pod!👇
It's easy to come out and say the right things after a win, but every single answer here is music to a
#CreweAlex
fans ears.
You're right Mickey is a leader, so follow his lead and get signed up for next year
@ElliottNevitt
!
Last year as a Christmas thank you to our listeners we brought you the Neil Baker special.
This year we are delighted to announce that our Christmas day episode will be with
#CreweAlex
record breaking goalie and Trinidad & Tobago International Clayton Ince!
Thank you once again to each and every one of you who voted in our Player of the Season Award.
Here is Chris Long with his award, and he even got to meet two of his favourite pod regulars as well. What a day!
Massive day for the club yesterday, to which we, the pod, (rather I) was completely silent. I'm aware this might seem odd to people.
The reason being, we lost a family member yesterday, and football was the furthest thing from my mind.
Thank you!!
Whata brilliant player and model professional he's been at Crewe Alex. Its been a pleasure to watch him grow and develop into the top full back he is today.
He departs with the gratitude of everyone at the club and we all wish him the best at Blackburn.
Cheers Pixie!
Tomorrow we will be releasing our episode with
@AdiMoses5
. Adi was great to have on and took us though his journey from Barnsley being in the Premiership to his time at
#CreweAlex
and (the weight room!) via Huddersfield. Look out for it tomorrow in all the usual places.
Been a while since we dusted off the player pods, but make sure you refresh your podcast feeds Thursday morning as we have a cracker.
Last season's top scorer
@Dan_Agyei
joined us to talk about his career so far, his time at
#CreweAlex
and who taught him to take penalties!
150!
Our next episode is in the can and ready to go for tomorrow.
Unbelievably it is episode 150, thanks to you all for listening, supporting, engaging and getting involved.
I may be biased, but I reckon this week's is up there with the best ones!
🚨Pod News🚨
We thought we'd break the news of our latest pod, before everyone heads down to today's
#CreweAlex
game.
It'll be out Monday, Luke was an absolute gent, very generous with his time. Look out for it in all the normal places
Photo credit as always -
@amomentinsport
Tomorrow we turn 100!
To help us with our landmark episode we welcome
#CreweAlex
chairman Charles Grant back to the pod.
We talk about the season just gone and the lessons that were learnt for the coming campaign.
It'll be with you in the morning, in all the normal places!
Well, that was an unusual way to end the game. Some incredible performances tonight, for what, I believe, is
#CreweAlex
first ever league win over the other cafc. Get your thoughts on the game over to us for this wk's pod!
Waking up to this made me both sad and happy.
Sad because I think it's too early and also because it's undeniable it will affect us negatively this season
But happy and proud, what a player he's become, what a player he will become, and proud once again of
#CreweAlex
- my club!
Connor O’Riordan has tonight completed a permanent transfer to Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
Wishing you the best of luck,
@connor_oriordan

#CreweAlex
What's better than one half of the
#CreweAlex
commentary team?
How about both halves? Delighted to say we were joined by
@GMcGarrySport
&
@ThePeterMorse
who took us through their thoughts on the season so far. It'll be with you in the morning, in all the normal places.
👏👏👏
I'm now firmly of the belief that the sooner those clubs are the top end go off to a super league to support their TV audiences around the world the sooner the greater game would benefit in England.
Well done to the club for this, I think we're all behind you!
Are you a team in relegation trouble that hasn't -
Won in 19?
Won in 13?
Scored in 5 games?
Don't worry, you've got Crewe next week. That'll sort it.
This is crap!
🚨New Pod🚨
No game this wk for the Alex, so we thought who would people like to listen to?
The best answer seemed to be the
#CreweAlex
manager Lee Bell, who was very gracious with his time, and gave us some very honest answers and opinions to your Q's!
Our last regular pod of the season is done, it is ready to go for the morning.
I mention on the pod, but worth saying here too - A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us this season, guests, oppo fans, ex players, and listeners. We look forward to continuing to grow!
What else can you say about this squad of players and coaches, absolutely loving this season!
Another tough away tie in 2024, another comprehensive away win for
#CreweAlex
.
Let us know your thoughts for this week's pod 👇
Another terrific
#CreweAlex
home performance. I imagine Rio may win Motm but great to see Dale back and doing what he does well. Let us know what you think to get in to the next pod!
Great move to the PL
@JustinCochrane8
, shame about the club, but you can't have everything. One more step on the road to becoming Crewe's next manager after DA takes over England.
YESSSSS! Christ it's been a while since we saw one of these on a Saturday. Let us know your thoughts on
#CreweAlex
's win(!) at Cheltenham for this wk's pod!
With no game this wk we are thrilled to have another ex-player pod for you. Who better than league Cup winning, Premier league stalwart,
@higs8
? He talks us through his time at Crewe, and subsequent career beyond.
Out tomorrow in all the usual places.
This week's pod was an easy one.
Get
@GMcGarrySport
on and ask him about his time watching and reporting on the Alex.
It'll be in your usual places Monday morning and is the last one before we take a few weeks off (plenty of time to catch up on any)
Thanks to

Delighted to say we were joined by

@alexirani90
& I released our first pod. We had no idea what we were doing and thought maybe a few mates would listen.
Where we are now in terms of panelists, guest and listeners is amazing. Thank you to everyone that has supported us!
Thank you!
We'd like to thank
@olly_lancashire
for the great service he's provided for the Alex. The way he battled back from injury to feature many times this season was brilliant, and he proved many doubters wrong.
I just did a podcast with
@RailwaymenThe
about my journey into football, time at Crewe then into my coaching journey. I enjoyed it, maybe more podcasts in 2021? 😃
Well deserved awards for
@_rioadebisi

@owenoddale10
cleaning up this season. On a personal note, I do find it insane that our podcast is including in this! Thanks again to all who took part in the voting!
🚨An Call To End The GRE Ban🚨
Adam looks at his early days of supporting

when he was in the GRE as a teenager which hooked him on to coming back time and again.
Echoing the pods thoughts - if we lose them now, they're gone!

@Pigeonisland
As a player he was possibly underrated by some on the pitch and as a presence within the club. I think I speak for lots of

We might not be getting the VHS of that game released in the club shop any time soon but that was richly deserved for the grit and determination of the men in red (and yellow)!
Get your thoughts on for this week's pod 👇
Pods all done nice and early! Don't ask me how our podcast has achieved this, but, we've managed to get a producer/editor on board who knows what he's doing! Look out for the newer, slicker pod in the morning.
#CreweAlex
We've received word from the club that our player of the Yr award is going to be added to the other player presentations and awards after the Shrewsbury game, which is fantastic. It does mean that we are going to have to do 2 votes tomorrow to find out our 4 finalists in time
