We travel from Siberia to Yorkshire in this edition of the Football Travel Podcast:

Russia (00.36): With the Russia 2018 World Cup on the horizon, we catch up with Siberia-based football writer, Andrew Flint, and discuss the domestic scene, groundhopping for foreigners, and the elephant in the room – hooliganism.

Leeds United (22.41): We catch up with freelance journalist Jon Mackenzie to get the lowdown on one of England’s perennial “sleeping giants”, Leeds United. Note: This was recorded before Garry Monk left Leeds United.
