https://audioboom.com/posts/8566673-06th-september-2024-fa-trophy-1q-and-chelmsford-city?playlist_direction=forward

The FA Trophy takes the limelight this weekend, 160 sides from Step 4 as the FA Trophy reaches the First Qualifying Round. Phil Annets is with us wearing his new @fatrophyfacts hat, giving us the lowdown and the knowledge you need to understand the weekend’s action and of course to impress your friends. 
My next guest is a new Chairman, just over a month in the role, it’s one he’s coveted for years but he’s been sprung into it quickly and in stressful times, but it’s clear Spencer Gore is enjoying his new role, and looking forward to building his childhood Club Chelmsford City again to challenge and even aim for the Football League. 
Matt Badcock is our man from the Non League Paper this week with thoughts on the week’s news, Managerial moves and what’s ahead in this weekend’s issue of the Non League Paper.

This week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Cup Second Qualifying Round ties:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8570149-13th-september-2024-fa-cup-2nd-qualifying-harefield-united?playlist_direction=forward

We celebrate The FA Cup reaching the Second Qualifying round this weekend, Step 2 Club's enter the fore and @FACupFactfile Phil Annets runs us through some of the most interesting stats and facts as some of the Club's taking part look for their fourth win of the season in the competition.
One of those is Harefield United, a Step 5 Club who have already dumped out the in-form Step 3 Club in the previous round, now looking for another scalp from that Division. Their boss is certainly no stranger to Non League both as a player and as a Manager and Wayne Carter is clearly loving the challenge directing his young squad to memories that will stay with them forever.
Matt Badcock is on hand again from the Non League Paper this week, more Managerial moves, more Club's facing unplanned problems and what we really should be reading into with the embryonic table standings.

Don't forget Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show this evening (Monday 16 September) between 6.00 and 7.00, Ollie is currently tight lipped on who and what will be featured on the show, and keeping us on tenterhooks, however all will be revealed later, Combined Counties League Premier Division North Amersham Town are sure to be featured following their FA Cup exploits in reaching the Third Qualifying Round stage where they will travel to Southern League Premier Division South Taunton Town following the draw made earlier today:

A bumper other Non League Show this week, previewing the weekend's FA Trophy and FA Vase Second Qualifying Round ties:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8573912-20th-september-2024-fa-trophy-2q-fa-vase-2q-flackwell-heath?playlist_direction=forward

It is FA Vase and FA Trophy Second Qualifying round time, nearly 400 Non League Club's from Steps 2 down to 6 take part this weekend in their respective competitions this weekend and Phil Annets is on hand to help us understand the most interesting stories behind the ties. 
One Manager leading his side into the FA Trophy for the first time in a number of years is Chris Ayres, his Flackwell Heath side took the Combined Counties League Premier Division North by storm last term and they have started off well at Step 4 too in the Southern League Central Division One. He thinks he may have the best dressing room around and we are not talking decor, but the camaraderie of a group of players, many of whom he has known for over a decade.
With the Non League Paper round up this week is Jon Couch, some big Managerial moves, some big cup games and the National League beginning to take shape.

Don't forget Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show this evening (Monday 23 September), between 6.00 and 7.00, Ollie is again currently tight lipped at this time of the day on who and what will be featured on the show, and keeping us 'in suspenders', however I assume he is waiting with bated breath for the FA Trophy and FA Vase draws to be issued shortly and all will be revealed later on prior to the eagerly awaited show:

This week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Cup Third Qualifying Round ties:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8578062-27th-september-2024-fa-cup-3q-and-winchester-city?playlist_direction=forward

It is the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round this weekend, 80 Club's, 40 ties in the penultimate Qualifying Round and the one where victory puts them in the hat to potentially face National League Club's. Plenty of stories, an array of stats and some interesting insights from our man in the know Phil Annets@FACupFactfile.
Craig Davis last came on the show this time last year before bowing out of the FA Cup in the Third Qualifying Round, hoping for a different outcome this time around, his side face second tier opposition so a cupset could be on the cards but there’s already reason to celebrate with his Club Winchester City, returning home to a refurbished stadium with a new 3G installed over the summer and they are all ready for this big weekend. 
Matt Badcock is on hand rounding up the news of the week from the Non League Paper, Managerial moves, tables taking shape and a non league rap. Usual non-league fayre.

Don't forget Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show this evening (Monday 30 September), between 6.00 and 7.00, the show will feature Bishop's Stortford, Potters Bar Town, Leighton Town and Harpenden Town as well as features on the weekend's FA Cup Third Qualifying Round ties, First Wins and New Managers. Ollie will also be able to discuss the Fourth Qualifying Round draw which was made this afternoon prior to the show that sees Biggleswade Town entertain Alfreton Town v Spennymoor Town and Biggleswade FC host York City, I believe everyone's money was on the two Club's meeting each other in the regionalised North section of the draw:

This week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round ties:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8582320-04th-october-2024-fa-trophy-3q-sporting-khalsa?playlist_direction=forward

We are in the Third Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy this weekend, the Step 3 Club's are the big boys and big scalps to be taken; 88 of those Club's and the 40 Club's from Step 4 have progressed from the last Round. Phil Annets is on hand with some thoughts and insight wearing his @FATrophyFacts hat.
Our Manager this week is another at a Club built on camaraderie and a place people want to be, Ian Rowe has been the gaffer of Sporting Khalsa for 10 years now but the Club is more than just the men’s first team, it’s very much about the people, as Ian explains.
Helping with the weekly news round-up Jon Couch is back, another packed issue of the Non League Paper ahead but first we discuss the FA Cup draw, Club's in trouble and of course, more Managerial moves.

This week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round ties:

The Non League Football Show / 11th October 2024 - FA Cup 4Q and Taunton Town (audioboom.com)

It is FA Cup front and centre this week, the Fourth and final Qualifying Round. The last full-on celebration of Non League before that other lot gets involved. Of course we look forward to that First Round draw and all the drama that will create plus Phil Annets is here with his @FACupFactFile hat on to guide us through the stats, facts and records ready to be set and broken this weekend 
Old fans of the show will know Rich Luffman is a Manager who still under 40, has learnt his trade in the lower levels of non league with much success. With over 500 games as a Manager under his belt, he admits having never been with a Club that doesn’t win most weeks. In his opening months at Step 3 with Taunton Town he has helped turn the Somerset Club around, progressing in both the FA cup and FA Trophy and currently on a 10 game unbeaten run, as ever he’s great value as a guest.
With the weekly news round-up and flagging some of the features of this weekend’s Non League Paper, Matt Badcock is another welcome returnee.

This week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Vase First Round ties:

https://audioboom.com/posts/8591476-18th-october-2024-fa-vase-1-and-ashville-fc?playlist_direction=forward

It is FA Vase First Round time and Phil Annests has his @favasefactfile hat on, detailing the debutants, the record breakers and the downright bizarre. He is the man with the stats for every occasion.
Those stats make for great stories but my next guest and his Club have more stories than most, they are the kind that make me love non league. Real football, run by real football fans. Founded by a D-day veteran who is now 100 and still plays a part in the Club he formed 75 years ago, they have a new progressive Manager who celebrates the Club, the people, and the ethos surrounding them. Steve Scott is an enthusiastic young Manager who has served his apprenticeship lower down the Pyramid with great success and plans to continue at Step 4 Ashville FC. With two massive games ahead he’s neither fazed nor over-confident, but ready to enjoy being part of a Club I think everybody will want to be part of when they hear his sell.
The Non League Paper’s Matt Badcock is our man in the know in and around the week’s news. There’s FA Cup, FA Vase, Managerial moves, Club departures and non league making inroads at the highest level. All in a day’s work for non league’s finest media gurus.
