Our guest this episode is the announcer at a club that recently secured their status in League Two for another season, after a nailbiting final day that saw rivals Sutton drop out of the football league. - Colchester United's Peter Sleigh
He's been in the job since the late 90's and has worked at both Layer Road and The Colchester United Community Stadium as the announcer.
Rich Hurst of West Brom and Dom Walker of Burnley are your hosts this week and they'll be finding out amongst other things - how a baby monitor should be in every stadium announcer's kit list!
