Meet the hosts

Chris "Woody" Wood

Long before the days of touring the world playing drums in Bastille, Woody was indoctrinated by his Dad into Plymouth Argyle's 'Green Army’. Having been a season ticket holder from the age of 8 until leaving Plymouth for University, the move away from home meant a move into away days. Since then, Argyle's rollercoaster moves between the 2nd and 4th tiers of English Football have taken Woody to all corners of England's footballing pastures. Now working to indoctrinate his own young sons into the Green Army, there are many more away days to come.

Piers Hewitt

Piers Hewitt has been obsessed with football and music his whole life. Decades long support of Southend United has followed hand in hand with playing drums in The Boxer Rebellion. As a result, he is not averse to travelling, having toured and gigged in over 30 countries and watched football in 159 grounds (and counting), up and down the leagues and abroad. He knows his way around more than a few lower league toilets, and has spent more time than he would care to think about queueing for a half time pie.
