One final round-up of the season as we hit June. A shortened show this week as we draw 2024/25 to a close.

Matt Badcock is on hand to discuss sponsorships, managers, players and lots more besides, before I head off into hibernation - or not, actually off to plan our expanded coverage of non league for the new season fast approaching - but Matt, Jon and the gang will keep you all updated via the weekly Non League Paper...

Just one big match of the season to go then as we near the start of June. Wembley hosts the National League Play-off final on Sunday and we look ahead to that with a brief interview with Southend United manager Kevin Maher. As cool as ever, just one win from getting his club back to the Football League and of course he's taking each game as it comes.

From the Non League Paper Jon Couch helps me provide some insight an...

This week, we celebrate the stats, or rather, we celebrate the men who bring you the stats. In a world of volunteers, these guys give their time and know-how to make out lives easier and more interesting by supplying the data that helps make sense of it all. They ply their trade as @NonLeagueHQ1 on X, and it is a pleasure this week to find out a bit more about what makes Matt Cooke and Andy Forward tick, here how they’ve alrea...

We’re with a manager set to smash records this weekend as he hopes his Bury side can do enough in front of a bumper crowd to gain promotion to Step 4. Dave McNabb has had many highs and lows in his career as a coach, and a bigger football man would struggle to find but, the potential of turning his phone off on Sunday has quite some appeal.

We also return to the National South again this week. Marc White’s side are ad...

As the season reaches a denouement we speak to two bosses in the mix.
Eastbourne Borough manager Adam Murray said pre-season it would go to the last game of the season and in National League South it is hard to see any other situation even with 4 games to go. He’ll just take each one as they come though,
Some might say Cleethorpes Town are a shoe-in now for the title in the Northern Premier League East but not Gaffer C...

This weekend the FA Vase semi finals get underway. They are two-legged affairs starting this weekend and we speak to Phil Annets with his @FAVaseFactfile hat on about who is in it and why magically, somebody new will win it.

One of those hoping to do so is AFC Whyteleafe, and their story for sure will be magical even if they weren’t to progress into the final. It’s less than four years since they were even formed - ef...

It is Non League Day weekend and so we celebrate all that is great about Non League. To help us we head south to Whitehawk FC where their latest project I hope will inspire a whole new set of supporters indeed a whole new generation of supporters.
I’m joined by three of those involved. Not the butcher, the baker and candlestick makers so often used to sneer at Non League but a Poet, a Visual artist and a Vice Chairman. Dav...

With Non League Day just over a week away we catch up with founder of the whole shebang. James Doe’s seemingly simple idea has played a big part in revolutionising the way clubs think about fan experience and fan engagement and now 15 years still keeps getting bigger and bigger. We find out why from the man himself.

Our gaffer of the week sits atop the Isthmian Premier in a tough and tight division but he's a wiley ol...

He’s top of the tree but feet on the floor. We chat to Barnet boss Dean Brennan on the project that has United staff on and off the field and brought fans closer as the club laser in on a return to The Football League.

It’s the quarter-final stage of both the FA Trophy and the FA Vase.

We turn to the ever faithful, the never inexact, master of the stats Mr Phil Annets. He wears three hats this week @FATrophyFacts @FAVaseFactffile and @FACupFactfile inspiring us all with records, patterns, and with connections that would leave Victoria Coren Mitchell swooning if Non League was ever a category on Only Connect.

A strangely quiet week in Non League as the focus tightens on who is going to get titles and promotions.
We have two managers, both with strong winning mentalities, both currently off the top of their divisions but with their sights set very firmly on taking top spot shortly and securing the title in the coming weeks.

First up Kettering Town’s Richard Lavery who in his first year since returning to the club has st...

This week highlighting the variety of Non League we speak to a coach who has helped shape many a rough diamond in the lower reaches of the pyramid and faces a tough task in his new role. As joint-manager at Meridian VP sitting bottom of their division in Step 6 they are the highest-ranked club still without a league win this season in Non League. He knew this before he took on the role and since he arrived they are three point...
