🎙️ HIGHS AND LOWS This week we are joined by Jon Campbell & RossiGTFC in Steve's (unapproved) holiday absence.

The episode delivers the full spectrum of football emotion: the high of the Carabao Cup win at Sheffield Wednesday to the sting of defeat to Barnet, and a powerful conversation about mental health in the game, and how we as fans can help each other.

Dean Gallagher from Brighton & Hove Samaritans joins us to share a new video produced by Brighton & Hove Albion FC and the local Samaritans — showing how football can help people speak up, seek support, and find hope during life’s toughest moments. It’s a moving look at how the beautiful game can break silence, build connection, and change lives. It's a must see, if just one person sees this and seeks help then it will have been worthwhile.

We are delighted to with the cheer brought to us this week by the launch of our partnership with Winner Winner Chicken Dinner as sponsor to the podcast, and welcome them into the 3 FISH story arc. More to come on them in the coming weeks. We thank them for their support and the work they do in the community.
