I see that Caroline Barker has deservedly won a prestigious Online Media Award for her popular Non League Show on BBC Radio London which is now into its fifth season, who said it wouldn't last! Caroline is quoted as saying 'I am extremely proud the show has been recognised but it's not for me, it's recognising all the tireless work that the thousands of volunteers do at Non League Clubs up and down the Country, without them we wouldn't have the stories to cover and topics to discuss on a weekly basis'.

[Rhodes]

I see that the Grass Roots Football Show in Birmingham last month was an unbridled success, did anybody attend:

[NeutralFan]

A number of SSML people were seen there. Our guys saw the ex Colney Heath Manager as well as the Royston Chairman and manager.

[Rhodes]

I have it on good authority that, under the BBC’s so called ‘Delivering Quality First’ programme, the Non League Show is sadly due to be cut as part of the removal of sport from BBC London 94.9.

If anyone would like to voice their opinion on the disappointing proposals please visit this website:

Has anybody been listening to the amazing show recently with Caroline still at the very top of her game week in week out, if not here is a link to the last five Podcasts:

[Rhodes]

I see Caroline Barker was all over the Non League paper like a rash on Sunday with numerous letters about Non League football's golden girl such as this one:

'I am writing to express my sincere disappointment at the potential loss of the three finest broadcasters the Non League football World has ever had. I am an avid Non League fan and my enjoyment of these games is supplemented by the media coverage provided by the NLP, Premier Sports and the BBC. Firstly Caroline Barker and the BBC Non League radio show. Caroline is passionate about the whole Non League Pyramid and presents her show with a passion for football at this level, the shows are funny, informative and newsworthy. How can the BBC justify spending money on some of the other dross they fund and not support this brilliant (and relatively cheap) show'.

The writer then goes on to mention Premiers Sports however he clearly makes a good point about Caroline and her amazing Non League show.

[Rhodes]

Who has been reading Caroline Barker's riveting guest column in the Non League paper, this week she looks into so called 'Wembleygate' and the Vale Farm Club's PR stunt, if that's what it is, to play the likes of Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Brian McBride, David Seaman, Graeme Le Saux and Claudio Caniggia in the FA Cup this season with, wait for it, Terry Venables as Technical Advisor.

[Rhodes]

The brilliant Non League Show, hosted by, that's right, the amazing Caroline Barker has moved to BBC Radio Five Live and here's a link to the first three shows of the season if you missed them via the Podcast, Dave Watters (remember him) was a guest on the first show as well as the value for money Russell Grant!:

[Rhodes]

I see that Caroline Barker is hosting the Breakfast Show on Radio Five Live this morning, she's really going places isn't she

[Rhodes]

Who heard Caroline's interview with Max Clifford earlier this morning, he showed his true sinister colours and she really took him to the cleaners like I've heard no interviewer do before!

[Big J R]

Max Clifford is a nasty piece of work that tries to exploit others for his own gain !!

[Eastside Urchin]

And makes sh1t loads of money out the thick twats
