FA Trophy Round 1 this weekend and we speak with Phil Annets wearing his @fatrophyfacts hat, to find out the interesting, the unusual and the downright bizarre facts about the 32 ties and the Club's involved.
One of those Club's hoping to make history and match their best-ever Trophy run is Brentwood Town. it's 6 months since we last spoke to Chairman Jez Dickinson and lots has gone on since then as he reveals, ahead of their Trophy tie.
Jon Couch is back with us offering insight in the Non League Paper round-up this week, Trophy, Vase, FA Cup Managerial moves and plenty of reasons why we love non league.

Don't forget Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show this evening (Monday 28 October), between 6.00 and 7.00, Ollie is keeping who and what will be featured on the show under wraps until later in the day however I assume Saturday's FA Trophy First Round ties involving local Club's will be one of the topics of conversation:

So who heard it then, yesterday's brilliant Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show featured St Albans City, Dunstable Town, Welwyn Garden City and Buckingham FC with an interesting interview with Scott Reynolds who returned 'Podigal Son style' to Stratford Fields recently and is already, albeit unsurprisingly, turning round the Club's fortunes. There were also features on the FA Trophy, First Home Wins and Podcasts:

The FA Cup hits the First Round proper, no replays but hopes and dreams for 32 Non League Club's this weekend.
Phil Annets is back with his @FACupFactfile and helps guide us through the stats, facts and records and the chances of a cupset this weekend.
One of those Managers setting up to try and achieve an FA Cup upset this week is an old friend of the show and he’s preparing for a trip to one of his old Club's, Micky Mellon takes his Oldham Athletic side to Tranmere Rovers in this weekend’s FA Cup First Round. Whilst there’s much excitement and just a handful of places in the Pyramid between them, he admits promotion would probably be a priority over an FA Cup run.
Rounding up the news of the week, Matt Badcock  of the Non League Paper is back ahead of another busy weekend for his team.

Don't forget Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show this evening (Monday 4 November), between 6.00 and 7.00, Ollie is currently tight lipped as to who and what will be featured on the show however all will be revealed, I assume the weekend's FA Cup First Round tie involving Boreham Wood will be heavily featured and this evening's interesting looking tie between Chesham United and Lincoln City:

So who listened to it yesterday evening then, Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show featured Chesham United, Newport Pagnell Town and Penn & Tylers Green and there were also features on the FA Cup, League Wins and Women's Football. Unfortunately Chesham United couldn't live with Lincoln City in their televised FA Cup First Round tie following the show, going down 4-0 at The Meadow however 'made a fortune' from their exciting Cup run:

Again, belatedly, this week's other Non League Show, previewing the weekend's FA Vase Second Round ties with special guest Phil Annets:

We’re back on the FA Vase trail this week and what a bumper show we have, the FA Vase hits Round 2 and there are no more exemptions - the winner of this year’s competition will be competing this weekend. Phil Annets is back with his @FaVaseFactfile and helps guide us through the stats, facts, records and the downright bizarre. 
Then I get to speak to one of those Managers looking to make history with his side in the Vase this weekend, Myles Hook is a bit different from most Managers in National cup competitions and plying his trade at Step 5 however, hands on doesn’t give justice to the work he and the small team at Spelthorne Sports put in week in and week out. A Club born from the Community still with that Community at its very heart, his tale is heartwarming and a contrast from some of those from the top level of over-inflated budgets and egos. A win against fellow Step 5 Club Holmesdale at the weekend would not only see the club’s best FA Vase run but also put the Club on the map and bring in some essential funds. 
Rounding up the news of the week, Jon Couch  of the Non League Paper, he’s back with news from around the beautiful game ahead of another bumper weekend of non league football.

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

https://audioboom.com/posts/8608764-15th-november-2024-fa-trophy-2-macclesfield?playlist_direction=forward

The Step 2 sides enter the FA Trophy as it hits Round 2, wearing his @FATrophyFacts hat Phil Annets gives us the insight, the knowledge, and all the things we need to know about the 40 ties taking place this weekend.
One of those in the Trophy with an away tie at a Club a level higher are Macclesfield. The in-form team in the non-league Pyramid with a current 16-game unbeaten run in the league and the now Gaffer Robbie Savage explains he doesn’t see his side going into the game as underdogs. Promotion is the main priority but a Club formed from the ashes of a former two-time winner of the competition, and who made last term’s semi-finals, he knows how important an FA Trophy run could be and what it means for those so fundamental to the Club. 
Matt Badcock helps round up the week’s news at the end of the show, including more bizarre results, a goal-scoring legend and the ever-spinning Managerial merry-go-round.
