Beyond the 90 is a football podcast hosted by Tom Garratt, covering the clubs, stories and talking points shaping the EFL across the North West, as well as a focus on AFC Fylde in the National League.

From results, managers and players to rule changes, finances, play-offs and the decisions being made away from the pitch, the show looks beyond the scoreline to explore the wider world of the Football League.

    Tom Garratt is back with another edition of Beyond the 90, looking back at a huge week of football across the Fylde coast and the wider North West.

    Fleetwood faced Championship opposition in a major EFL Cup night at Highbury before returning to League Two action against one of the division’s strongest early sides.

    AFC Fylde had the chance to reach the very top of the National League before returning to Mill Farm at the weekend, while Blackpool looked to stop a difficult run after such an encouraging start to the season.

    In the Championship, Preston travelled to QPR with the managerial situation still unresolved, Blackburn looked to build on signs of improvement, and Burnley continued their search for a first League victory.

    There was also a seven-goal thriller involving Bolton, while Salford aimed to extend their recent unbeaten run.

    With Cup drama, managerial pressure, late goals and plenty of early-season talking points, there’s a lot to get through.

    Sep 8 2026

    After a Bank Holiday break, Tom Garratt is back with a packed edition of Beyond the 90, catching up on two busy weeks of football across the Fylde coast and the wider North West.

    Blackpool experience the highs and lows of an early season run, with a huge 4-0 win over Peterborough followed by tough away defeats at Barnsley and Reading.

    Fleetwood continue their superb unbeaten start, including a 4-0 EFL Cup win over Shrewsbury and another League victory against the same opposition.

    AFC Fylde enjoy an excellent Bank Holiday double-header, beating Forest Green Rovers and Solihull Moors before being denied another win by a late Worthing equaliser.

    Elsewhere, Preston finally get their first win of the season in the derby against Blackburn, while Rovers battle through injuries and a difficult run of results.

    There's also an update on Salford City, as they start to get their season back on track, with early season stories begin to take shape across the region.
