THE CATFLAP CHINWAG WITH…

THE HOOSIERS

They're the band behind the impossibly catchy Goodbye Mr A. You know them as The Hoosiers. Funny that, because that's exactly what we know them as too. Meet Exeter fan Alphonso, Reading fan Irwin and, get this, Djurgarden fan Martin...

 

How did you come to support your respective teams?

Alphonso - I was born in Exeter, for my sins.

Irwin - I'm a child'O'Reading. You've got to respect your roots!

 

Indeed. So how do you see Reading's season panning out?

A - Relegation certainties.

I - Shut up, Alph. What you wouldn't give to be in a division you could get relegated from! After a shaky start (and middle) of season I think we'll cling on and get our act sorted for next season. You just wait!

 

Do you believe in the whole 'difficult second season' stuff?

A - You can't argue with the facts.

I - Like Coppell said, it's a lot to do with spending and few have spent as little as us on this season. I suppose I've got to agree with Alph, though I'd rather dip a toe in a toaster.

 

OK. Does it make you worry about your 'difficult second album'?

I - It would but we've already recorded it. In fact we recorded it before we recorded our first, just to get it out of the way. That's a lie. Expect a Greatest Hits for album two. That's also a lie.
