    TSFFS S2 EP33

    This week, we're diving into all the latest buzz from the NWCFL, showcasing the biggest movers and shakers.

    Atherton LR is on fire, boasting the best record across all English leagues. They've gone unbeaten in their last sixteen matches, with an impressive streak of 10 consecutive wins.

    Nelson top Division One North but they've had a hectic schedule—five games in ten days, and they've battled hard. They're currently three points ahead of Droylsden, with a game in hand, but the race is still wide open.

    Runcorn are coming close to sealing the Division One South title. They're thirteen points clear of Eccelshall with just seven games remaining.

    We'll also cover the intense relegation battles across all divisions.

    Plus, a spotlight on local clubs like Bury, Bootle, Lower Breck, Marine, Prescot Cables, and Southport. Exciting news—they've sold out their upcoming FA Trophy semi-final against Southend with a staggering 5,600 tickets sold! Haig Avenue is about to light up!

    We delve into the controversial incident at the FA following the abandonment of the Avro vs Kidsgrove match last October, which was sparked by fighting. The FA have come to their conclusions.

    Maine Road is on the hunt for a new chairman and board to steer the club forward.

    Sadly, Kevin Lynch, a former Marine, Prescot Cables, and COL manager, was attacked outside Huyton & Prescot Golf Club over the weekend. He suffered serious injuries, and Joey Barton has been detained in connection with the incident. Regardless of the circumstances, a man is now facing life-changing injuries.

    We wrap up with our signature predictions and expert analysis.

    All this and more—you won't want to miss it.

    TSFFS S2 EP32

    This week's episode kicks off with an exciting update from the NWCFL, showcasing the key movers and shakers shaking up the division.

    We speak with the vice-chairman of Telford Town FC, Adam Wilson, who sheds light on ongoing rumours about his club, addressing reports of budget cuts and ambitions to climb higher.

    Next, we explore how local non-league clubs in the North West—such as Bootle, Bury, Clitheroe, and Prescot Cables—are performing in their respective divisions, highlighting their triumphs and challenges.

    The action continues as we review the latest from the FA Vase and FA Trophy. West Didsbury & Droylsden's Vase run ends, but Marine and Southport are charging ahead, securing semi-final spots.

    We also revisit Chester, where Calum McIntyre's tenure takes an unexpected turn. Initially planning to see out the season, Calum's decision shifted, and Connell Rawlinson steps in as interim boss, sparking speculation about the club's future leadership—with the thinking that their next manager has been decided already!

    In the second half, we chat with NWCF league representative Martin Fallon about his club, Runcorn Town, and then delve into the world of Groundhopping.

    Martin shares fascinating insights into how Groundhop events have energised local clubs and provided vital financial boosts over the past eight years, often unappreciated for the effort they require.

    We wrap up with our usual predictions and expert analysis, including an in-depth look at Skelmersdale United FC.
