Nick Knowles: Pirates, Pasties & Prem Dreams

This week, DIY SOS TV star Nick Knowles joins Alex Payne, James Haskell and Mike Tindall and he’s got some great stories to tell.

Now part-owner of the Cornish Pirates, Nick talks about his Welcome to Wrexham-inspired documentary and his ambitious 10-year plan to take the club all the way to the top of the Prem. He also opens up on the realities of making it happen, from the stadium and budget to the challenges of travel to and from Cornwall.

From American investment and pirate-themed stadiums to pasties and cannons, this episode is top drawer.
