Claret & Blue Podcast

From Reach Podcasts Soccer, Sports

Welcome to Claret & Blue - a podcast about all things Aston Villa. Hosted by Dan Rolinson & John Townley, we'll be covering every step of the way as Unai Emery takes the club on another Champions League adventure.

John Townley brings insight and opinion from the press box as he follows Aston Villa home, away and across Europe whilst also attending Unai Emery’s press conferences.

Joined by Dan Rolinson, a Villa season ticket holder for almost 20 years, the duo breaks down every match, transfer story, or anything of a claret & blue persuasion in multiple episodes a week across YouTube and podcast platforms.

Along with collaborations with some of the voices of the many Aston Villa podcasts, Claret & Blue is your home for passionate Aston Villa coverage, and a dollop of nonsense on the side.

So, get subscribed, turn on your notifications and join the conversation in the comments or the Mailbag.
