Only The Poets’ Tommy on Reading FC, Straight Red Shockers and Local Loyalty
Please Don't Take Me HomeShow Notes
This week on Away Days with Woody & Piers, the boys are joined by Tommy, lead singer of Only The Poets and a lifelong Reading FC supporter. Tommy shares the story of his very first away day, when the designated driver left him badly out of pocket, and explains why he can’t stand it when fans (including his own bandmates) don’t back their local team. There’s also a rather gruesome moment where Piers reveals the time a straight red card left him caught short.
