With Non League Day just over a week away we catch up with founder of the whole shebang, James Doe’s seemingly simple idea has played a big part in revolutionising the way Club's think about fan experience and fan engagement and now 15 years still keeps getting bigger and bigger. We find out why from the man himself.
Our gaffer of the week sits atop the Isthmian Premier in a tough and tight Division but he's a wiley old contender who knows all about the highs and lows of Non League football Management. Gary McCann is more than ready for the battle of the final, 8 league games and if success comes, of taking on the challenge at the next level too.
Matt Badcock joins us from the Non League Paper in a week with some interesting talking points from Ballers League to Managerial moves and more non-moves notified in advance, there’s plenty in discussion and surely plenty to read in this weekend’s Non League Paper.

This week's other Non League Show, again previewing Non League Day tomorrow (Saturday 22 March):

https://audioboom.com/posts/8692395-21st-march-2025-non-league-day-and-whitehawk?playlist_direction=forward

It is Non League Day weekend and so we celebrate all that is great about Non League. To help us we head south to Whitehawk FC where their latest project I hope will inspire a whole new set of supporters indeed a whole new generation of supporters. I’m joined by three of those involved, not the Butcher, the Baker and Candlestick Maker, so often used to sneer at Non League but a Poet, a Visual Artist and a Vice Chairman. David Attree, David Shrigley OBE and Mr Kevin Miller, Whitehawk fans one and all, and big advocates for the magic of Non League.
Matt Badcock is on hand again from the Non Leagues Paper, there’s a agglomeration of sports sites, Managerial moves, and the business of football Club's all on the agenda as he also plans a bumper read with a mass of Non League Day initiatives set to headline the Non League Paper this weekend.

This week's other Non League Show:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8696021-28th-march-2025-fa-vase-semi-first-legs-afc-whyteleafe?playlist_direction=forward

This weekend the FA Vase Semi Finals get underway, they are two-legged affairs starting this weekend and we speak to Phil Annets with his @FAVaseFactfile hat on about who is in it and why magically, somebody new will win it.
One of those hoping to do so is AFC Whyteleafe and their story for sure will be magical even if they weren’t to progress into the Final. It’s less than four years since they were even formed, effectively as a phoenix Club but initially, they were a Club with no players, no sponsor, no league and effectively just an agreement to play at a ground. Now, under founder, Chair, owner, and joint Manager Kelly Waters they are just 180 minutes from Wembley.
Jon Couch returns to the show to help round up the news and give an insight into the big stories in this weekend’s Non League Paper, a tome that itself is celebrating 25 years in publication.

https://audioboom.com/posts/8700000-04th-april-2025-fa-vase-fa-trophy-semis-and-aldershot-town?playlist_direction=forward

This weekend the FA Vase Semi-Finals play their Second Legs to a finish and the FA Trophy have their one-off Semi's. The teams beginning with W take leads into the weekend and Phil Annets, our man with the stats, reveals the chances of a comeback and why Wembley way is never a straight road.
One of those dreaming of Wembley is Aldershot Town gaffer Tommy WIddrington, his Club has never been there but he’s experienced the magic and he wants his players, off the field team and fans to enjoy the same. 
Matt Badcock is on hand with the Non League Paper Round Up we have the big cup games and Chairmen stepping down adding to the Management merrygoround madness.

This week's other Non League Show:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8703422-11th-april-2025-eastbourne-borough-and-cleethorpes-town?playlist_direction=forward

As the season reaches a denouement we speak to two bosses in the mix.
Eastbourne Borough Manager Adam Murray said pre-season it would go to the last game of the season and in National League South it is hard to see any other situation even with 4 games to go, he’ll just take each one as they come though.
Some might say Cleethorpes Town are a shoe-in now for the title in the Northern Premier League East but not Gaffer Craig Rouse, he’ll celebrate when it’s title secure but until then there’s plenty to do and keep focused on.
Jon Couch is back to round up the week’s news from the Non League Paper. This weekend set to be full of more promotions and relegations.
