Over The original Chiang Mai is Blue

In 2023-24 Simon Wise and Rob Scott started this podcast to cover Chiang Mai FC's season in T2 under new local ownership. The season was undiluted soap opera. Coaches were fired, staff not paid, players not paid, suppliers not paid. At the end of the year, with the club in massive debt and the owner in hiding, the club, despite finishing fourth, was relegated to T3 for failing to meet licensing requirements. The club's very existence was in doubt. A deal orchestrated by the Sports Authority of Thailand tried to bring together Brazilian investors with an amateur team and sports academy - Christ FC - based in Mae Rim in the North of Chiang Mai. This partnership would adopt the name of Chiang Mai FC. Half way through the T3 season the Brazilian investors and sponsors were removed. Christ FC took over the management and operations of CMFC. Ichiban arrived as a welcome new sponsor.In the meantime our podcast evolved to a broader coverage of Thai Leagues 2 and 3. Phil Williams joined the podcast in the 2024-2025 season. Following T2 is great fun. It is the most competitive, unpredictable, diverse, occasionally brilliant and often bizarre, league in Thai football stretching from Nongbua Lamphu in the North East to Chiang Mai in the North, to Trat in the East and down to Pattani in the South. Simon decided to leave the podcast midway through the 2025-2026 season. One of the lessons from last few years is not to take our Thai football too seriously - it is a great way to avoid disappointment. But it is also a great way to see and experience Thailand.Thank you for listening. If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know. All the best, Phil and Rob Hosted on Acast.

Phil's twenty question T2 quiz!

Phil and Rob wrap up the Thai League 2 season with Phil's twenty question T2 quiz. We review the T3 playoff semi finals that saw Uttaradit FC and Nara United promoted to Thai League 2 and preview the 3rd place play off final between Muang Loei United and PT Satun FC. Many thanks for listening and for your support and encouragement throughout the season. Phil's question on the likelihood of the 3 relegated teams going straight back to T1 made it clear that I know nothing about betting! My decimal point was wrong 2/1, 2/1, 5/1 in an accumulator is 53/1 - an implied likelihood of 1.85% - that might be a reasonable call ! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
