FOOTIE fans will be able to see one of their favourite podcasts in action as The Football Ramble prepares for its live tour.

The chart-topping show is coming to Bournemouth Pavilion on Thursday, October 10, before crossing the pond for a handful of gigs in the US and Canada.

The Football Ramble was founded in late 2007, when Marcus Speller and Luke Moore met at university and decided to record an episode in their student kitchen. In the 12 years since, the podcast has jumped to the top of the iTunes sport podcast chart, with biweekly shows and more than 65 million downloads.

Marcus and Luke were joined by comedian Jim Campbell and Absolute Radio DJ Pete Donaldson, and the foursome have made their success discussing the highs and lows of the footballing world, offering a genuinely refreshing outlook on the game and everything football-related.

It is now the largest independent football brand in the UK.

In The Football Ramble Live, planned by Pete himself, audiences can expect a wealth of football-based chats, as well as games, videos, and a whole bunch of laughs.

Of the new tour, Luke Moore said: “I’m absolutely delighted to take The Football Ramble back on the road for our biggest tour to date, and I can’t wait to play my part as sidekick to The Pete Donaldson Experience.

“I don’t know what he’s got planned but it’s sure to be explosive.”

n The show kicks off at 8pm. Tickets can be purchased from website mickperrin.com, from the Bournemouth Pavilion website at bhlivetickets.co.uk or via the box office.
