EPISODE 10: Yes, a final podcast looking at the mish-mashed 2020-21 season for Elgin City, completely FREE of Euro 2020 chat! Och, come on, it's too much too soon in hyping up Scotland - not while there's a chance to reflect on the Black & Whites... another season of perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

EPISODE 9: from the Elgin City super-yacht moored off Hopeman, we debate the European Super League, we look ahead to the League 2 post-split fixtures (crazy!?) and also bemoan the staggering loss of form since our return following the New Year Covid shutdown.

EPISODE 8: Back again for 2021 & hopefully soon Elgin city will be back in business on the pitch, with no doubt another re-jig to the season, oh AND the Scottish Cup - in March!? Crazy!! It's a welcome back in so many ways, and yet many things stay the same.

EPISODE 7: Such a shame to see the end of 2020. We look ahead to the first match of the New Year with the game at Brechin, as Elgin City look to continue their recent decent form. Also, further ahead with the Scottish Cup, where does that particular piece of silverware feature on your footballing radar?

EPISODE 6: Looking forward to another home match with Stenny the visitors. Also delighted so far with the fantastic home support - in stark contrast to some in Level 1. #Zone1Loyal #Zone4Loyal #ElginCity

EPISODE 5: thankfully everything off-field went without a hitch at Elgin City and fans can look forward to a second (gasp!) match this weekend when we welcome Annan. #StayOnYourSpot

Episode 4: We look for better days, as Elgin City's League Cup campaign is put to bed, with the focus firmly on League 2 now. Stirling this weekend. And further ahead, potentially fans back in to Borough Briggs.

EPISODE 3: After four straight wins (or 10 from the last 11 games if you like!) hopefully Saturday's result is a minor blip for Elgin City ahead of the Spiders' visit to Moray. Also, taking the current situation in England aside, is it time for fans to get back in to games?

EPISODE 2: We've the return of COMPETITIVE ACTION for Elgin City (albeit in the BetFred). Joined by Alex from @93_champions where we're talking about last term's abrupt end, the positives to take from that, and the way ahead for football, as well as his own campaign #TrueChampions93

EPISODE 1: It's a new season (kind of) although the brakes are still on for League 2 Elgin City. Ever hopeful for the return of a game perhaps come October, and who knows, maybe with some fans. Well... We'll see...

Podcast 23: Joined by special guest, goalkeeper TOM McHALE who speaks about Elgin City's high points last season in their push towards the play-off places, his former experiences in English football, and the secret society to which he is a member of... Hmmm... Oh, and also his hopes for success at City if/when we all get back to the football once again!

PODCAST 22: Ahead of what should have been the culmination of Elgin City's season (obvs. before our imminent success in the play-offs!) glad to have STEPHEN BRONSKY on the podcast for a wee chat. So if you've got a spare moment... it's worth a listen.

PODCAST 21: Joined by special guest Elgin City defender Matthew Cooper. Messi or Ronaldo? Burger of Pizza? A postmatch splash of Brut... or a spray of Lynx...? We'll be discussing none of these topics, but hey, if you've got a bit of time on yer hands - have a listen! One thing we're not looking forward to is the weekend match at Cove Rangers.

Podcast 20: Elgin City still out of action... erm, like much of the country. hope everyone is safe and well. BTW - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQOG5BkY2Bc&t=0m13s in case you want to see the man himself do the proper version(!)

PODCAST 19: Yeah, safe to say it could be the last one for a while - if everything football-wise goes on hiatus. What happens to Elgin City (and indeed the rest of League 2) if everything's put on ice or played behind closed-doors. This week it's Brechin. Let's enjoy things while we can, both the game and THIRD PLACE.

Podcast 18: A slightly abridged look at Elgin City (given the lack of action). This weekend it's Albion Rovers (fingers crossed). Also, how concerned are you about the urgency to get games-in-hand scheduled ASAP during February and March? Must make sure the season's over by the start of May!

PODCAST 17: League leaders humbled at Borough Briggs, the sights are set on form side Queen's Park. Also, how does a club like Elgin City get some filthy lucre amid the rest of League 2 where every pound's a prisoner. Perhaps it's down to buying bricks...?

PODCAST 16: How's the squad looking for the rest of the season? How's about the chances of a play-off? How's about Elgin City improving that home form...? We also look back on the recent wins on the road at Forthbank and Glebe Park.

PODCAST 15: ever eager to be proved wrong (that Elgin City's season MIGHT actually amount to something) we continue to find new and interesting ways of messing things up. It's the start of back-to-back away days. Your guess is as good as mine as to what fresh nonsense the trips to Stirling and Brechin will bring.

PODCAST 14: It's Galabank this weekend and since Elgin City won 4-0 against Annan at home, here's the tale of the last quarter in the nine games since. Elgin - 7 points (W 1, D 4, L 4) and Annan - 15 points (W 5, D 0, L 4). So much for kicking on!  Time to begin again.

PODCAST 13: Season's greetins (and it literally is) when looking back on recent lapses. Ahead for Elgin City is the Brechin City match at Borough Briggs and also Cove in the post-Christmas game away from home. Aye hopeful - as ever - of an upturn in fortunes in January.

PODCAST 12: From a rosy glow at Borough Briggs to total dog-plops over the course of just two-and-a-half games. What a fascinating (but disturbing!) turnaround in fortunes. Answers on a postcard to pinpoint why Elgin City have really hit the brakes of late.  Any ideas...?

PODCAST 11: Pah! Elgin City move on to the ever so slightly more prestigious Scottish Cup after last weeks exploits. Alloa travel to Borough Briggs, and looking at the League Two standings after sitting out last Saturday, things also not-too-shabby for the Black & Whites domestically as well.

PODCAST 10: It's five-star Elgin City, but is there more joy to come? Edinburgh this weekend (bring your red cords) and then the LAST-8 of the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Cup for afters next Friday. We hope to see the rest of Autumn go with a bang, but it appears some aren't happy enough!?!?

PODCAST 9: Elgin City eye fourth in this weekend's only League 2 fixture, following back-to-back cup victories which point to a bit of an upturn in fortunes. Also hi-viz pedants and Bible tales from New Broomfield - who knew!

PODCAST 8: Double-cups! The Tunnocks caramel whatever nonsense first at Air-D-Ree and then the Scottish Cup at home to former foes Berwick. Also on the domestic front, how's the opening quarter been for Elgin City given an up-n-down spell in League Two.

PODCAST 7: Lucky number 7, and boy do we need some luck, it's Brechin this weekend. A look back at the Cove game and also a certain individual within the Elgin City squad, ooh who could it be!? Both he, and us, need to get back on track in League 2.

This weekend it's SPFL League 2 basement club Stirling, but hey, not forgetting the victory over Dundee in the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Cup. Hard to tell what the feeling was postmatch at Dens Park, as it's not a sensation felt very often by long-suffering Elgin City fans. And please don't remind me we once got to the Scottish Cup last-8 in the sixties!

PODCAST 5: Edinburgh City this weekend after another draw on the road, but are we needing a bit more patience at home? Also, among the many men to have pulled on the gloves for Elgin City over recent seasons, who are among the best we've had between the sticks...?  It's 5pts from a possible 12 after the early season stresses and strains.

PODCAST 4: Elgin City going well despite the early season rigmarole of the various cup competitions (some good ones, some bad ones), also a look back at recent form from our two League Two outings.  This weekend it's Stenny who head to Borough Briggs.

PODCAST 3: We talk about Elgin City in the Hibs game (BetFred) and the Hibs game to come (Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Cup!) and also the start of the domestic season PROPER with Cowdenbeath at Borough Briggs.

PODCAST No.2 - Feeling hot, hot, hot! As Elgin City warm-up nicely toward the start of the League Two campaign proper, we look ahead to how things are shaping up for Hibs at home in the BetFred Cup.

Podcast 1, vol. 2: BACK AGAIN for another glorious season, but when does the season start proper for you? Elgin City prepare for (yet another) season in Scottish Football's bottom tier by going through the rigmarole of the BetFred Cup shenanigans - what fun!

Elgin City Podcast no.39 - IT'S THE LAST ONE! We've reached the end of another stellar season in the bottom tier of Scottish Football. Come, let us reminisce about all the great times. This weekend it's Berwick who head north, eager for a lift ahead of the relegation play-off.

Yes, be sure and turn out this Saturday Elgin City fans, just to prove that despite having a mediocre side, facing a seventh defeat in a row, set to host someone else's title party - that we're still here - which is more than can be said for most fans facing a 20th season in Scottish Football's bottom tier.

Elgin City set off for Forthbank following four (count 'em - FOUR) straight defeats. But hey, at least we have the Under-20s to celebrate, so what are we doing to help them make the next step? Nothing. Sticking with the same squad who've lost the last four games.

Oh no - what a disaster(!) It's another season in League Two for Elgin City. Such a shame we now have hee-haw to look forward to. Is it time to experiment a little in the last seven games? It's been a week of disappointments, and that's not even including Scotland!

Off to play they Spiders at they Hampden which'll hopefully alleviate our wind problems (parp) of the last two weeks. Also, any thoughts on who might be joining Elgin City in League Two next season - should we still be down here(!)

20 odd points in the next 10 games(!?) Highly unlikely. It's mid-table mediocrity for Elgin City now. Or is it? This weekend it's part 1 of the Clyde sandwich.

A big month of March kicks off with the trip to Balmoor for Elgin City. Five unbeaten, it's time to keep up momentum ahead of a mad time for fixtures, hopefully culminating in a (potentially) pivotal game on the 30th???  

Podcast 32, not as good as podcast 20. But then nothing is these days. Elgin City prepare to cross the border (I hope their papers are in order) and we look back at the scintillating win over Stirling.

3-0 may have seemed like a shock earlier in the season for Elgin City but now Stirling are a transformed side, can the Black & Whites find some form to get back into play-off contention?

We take a moment on the sad passing of Shane (excuse the language, but he's now 'dead' to most fans) - what's the truth? Safe to say the Elgin City will never say. There's also the Queen's Park match upcoming, and also sans Shane, how or when are we going to muster some sort of run of form, can February offer that?

With the dust settling on the Hibs game it's now back to the far more appealing prospect for Elgin City of welcoming former League 2 leaders Edinburgh. Also, following on from all the Scottish Cup excitement, is that all the Black & Whites have ever got to look forward to? The occasional big match against a Premiership opponent?

The Black & Whites vs Cowdenbeath this weekend looking for a third win against them this season, although safe to say consistently inconsistent Elgin City are seeing their season fizzle away as the limitations of the squad bite. Will there be anything to freshen up the campaign...?

WHO WANTS IT THEN? Fourth place that is. Elgin City head to play Annan this weekend in arguably a bigger game than last weekend's match against Peterhead. Can the Black & Whites go one better than the 1-1 draw on the opening day of the League Two campaign?

I'm dreaming of a (Black &) White Christmas.  No, all I want for Christmas is some fresh players. Elgin City offload more of their squad because things are going well for us sat atop the League Two table. Plus we look ahead to our fixtures pre-Christmas and pre-New Year. Seasons greetings folks!

Off to the Ainslie Park Leisure Centre and Sports Complex to play the League Two leaders this weekend, having defeated the Citizens wayyyy back in August. A look back at last weeks win over Rovers, could it have been more emphatic? And it's the season of goodwill, but also the season for taking the p*** out of fans.

It's Elgin City v Albion Rovers this weekend, bidding for a Black & White win to quickly get over the misery of last weekend. Reflections on last weekend's Forthbank collapse as well. ALSO, with a mind to Christmas, a look at what many lovely stocking fillers are littering club shops up and down League Two.

Back to Forthbank and back to League Two action for Elgin City with the hope that the Scottish Cup and our impending Fourth Round tie may provide some bounce to get us back up into playoff contention. Also, anyone want to join the Loveland love-in in bidding for him to start at Stirling?

After the disastrous defeat to Berwick, this weekend it's the Bully Wee at Borough Briggs for Elgin City. Three points would've really done the trick last week after so many shocks in League Two. Consistently inconsistent Elgin continue to disappoint.
