Description

The Concourse is the home of independent Welsh football fan content, brought to you by Alternative Wales. Through a variety of podcasts, we bring you all the news, opinions and discussion around the beautiful game in Wales - from the grassroots to the international stage. If the Concourse was a football match, the Monday is the game and the Thursday is the pint in the pub afterwards. Every Monday, Ryan March and Greg Caine review the previous week and discuss the biggest stories in Welsh football. On Thursdays, the shackles are off, with regular features and casual Welsh football chat. The Welsh Football Shamble is the original Alternative Wales Podcast, where Ryan March, Tomi Caws, Rhodri Davies and Agent Phillips break down all the biggest stories in Welsh football with their trademark irreverent and light-hearted style. Plus much more - including Cymru Leagues specials and exclusive interviews. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A successful night in Llanelli, Bluebirds back on track & goalkeeper goals | THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE CYMRU

2026/10/19

Ryan and Greg take you through another wonderful week of Welsh football as Wales women book their place to a World Cup play-off final, Cardiff City & Wrexham get some much needed points on the board, Newport’s unbeaten run continues and the Swans stay on top despite a defeat. In the Welsh Cup, we had goalkeeper goals, late drama and some OAPs on the scoresheet. Just another normal week.

Welsh footballers as mobsters | JORDAN JAMES MINI-GAME

2026/10/15

Jordan James is at it again, and this week he’s been caught up in The Sopranos and other gangster content. Who are we to argue? So, he’s passed on a game to Charlie that will pit Ryan and Greg against each other once again. The aim of the game is to pick the best mobster nickname for a variety of Wales players past and present.

One small step closer to Brazil, Swans on top and Newport in nosebleed territory | The Good, The Bad & The Cymru

2026/10/12

Greg and Ryan are back on club duty after the extended men's international break. But the international football doesn't stop there as Wales women win 1-0 out in Albania in the first leg of the World Cup play-off semi finals. And it's a good weekend for Swansea and Newport, and not so good for Cardiff, Wrexham and Merthyr. We have FOUR (!!) Cymru Premier gameweeks to catch up and we discuss Lewis Koumas starting for Liverpool and squad dropouts going straight back in for their clubs. It's a stacked pod, where we try and cover as much Welsh football as humanely possible in around 60 minutes. A big thank you to our sponsors, Penybont Football Club.

"My wife was in a car crash - should I have left the match early?" | CONCOURSE CONFESSIONS

2026/09/04

The boys are once again donning their trusty dog collars to hear people's confessions and decide whether they go to Concourse Heaven or Hell. This week, we decide whether it's worth leaving a football match if your partner's been in a car crash (but nobody was hurt, of course). Can't see any issues with having this debate personally.
