As the FA Trophy reaches the First Round, Tim Fuell speaks with new Canvey Island boss Brad Wellmen ahead of their match v Yaxley. No stranger to the Essex club after years on the coaching staff he has stepped up after the departure of Mark Bentley with three emphatic wins and two clean sheets.

Also no stranger to his club, Paul Holleran, boss of Leamington FC.... for the past 12 years. That's seen dramatic development off the pitch as well as promotions and relegation and currently sees his side pushing for a play-off spot in the very competitive National North.

The Non League Paper's David Richardson rounds up the week's news including TV spots in the FA Cup and more managerial changes.

A final weekly look for the season as we head into hibernation to plan for next season but still plenty to round -up this week before we go. All with the help of Matt Badcock, of the Non League Paper. There’s more managerial movement, club allocation debates and awards galore.






S8 Ep39: 24th May 2024 - Season end, National Game Awards and League Allocations

A big week for non league football as we celebrate Non League FInals Day from last weekend. 



We've got post-match interviews with each of the managers. 

and then a round-up of the week’s news including the Vase and Trophy finals, football still to be played and a host of managerial changes we welcome back to the show Executive Editor of the Non League Paper, Jon Couch

S8 Ep38: 17th May 2023 - Non League Finals Day, Season finales

Another hectic week in non league football as play-offs are played, dreams are realised or crushed and the home of English football gets ready for the double cup final that crowns the non league season. Yes it’s Non League Finals day on Saturday and we talk to some of those getting ready for the big day and take a look at the four clubs who will be enjoying their day in the sun. 



First up is the man with more knowledge than the taxi rank by Wembley Way. The statto for every great cup competition. Mr Phil Annets joins me to chat facts behind the FA Vase, FA Trophy and the FA Cup as we also pick up on the winners of this season’s ninth FA Cup Team Awards, the FACTAs.



My next guest has been on my radar for a while and I hope you will agree it’s been worth the wait. He’s possibly the non league legend you weren’t yet aware of but for sure you will want to know more about him, and his little village club whether they win in the FA Vase Final on Saturday or not. Dave Patient has been involved in Non League for over 4 decades before getting his chance at Wembley, and with a serious health scare forcing him to miss their first semi final, he’s more than lived up to that Patient name. Now, the Chair and Director of Football at Great Wakering Rovers is just aiming for Saturday to be a great day for all involved.



Giving as a trip on a busy week of non league news Matt Badcock of The Non League Paper. We’ve had Play-offs, Crowd issues, an England C win, administrative confusion and plenty of manager movements all to be reported on






S8 Ep37: 10th May 2024 - Non League Finals Day, FA Vase, FA Trophy and Great Wakering Rovers

First up, a community club making the national headlines but you may not have seen it, but you do need to know. Balham FC play in the Combined Counties Premier South but it’s the 20 sides from U8s upwards and ladies team that make this football club so successful. Bringing on young talent and young people, which as my guest Finance Director Dereck Fordham explains is something they are very proud of and want to continue to do despite the issues they’ve made the headlines with for doing everything right in my eyes.



Then we talk football. Old friend of the show Andy Whing is in his first season as a full-time boss, his first season at Solihull Moors and he’s made Wembley twice… in a week. First up it’s Sunday’s prize game, against Bromley for a place in the English Football League, not that you’d be able to tell from one of the game’s calmest and nicest managers around.



Rounding up the week’s non league news - and there is plenty of it, including breaking news as we recorded - is Jon Couch of The Non League Paper. Play-offs play a big part along with admin and managerial moves






S8 Ep36: 03 May 2024 - Balham FC & Solihull Moors

Two Non League Show debutants in a very busy week for non league.



First up an assistant manager at a club competing in the biggest game in English football this weekend. Barnet's number two Connor Smith, has seen success as a player and also in his first player coach role at Boreham Wood. Now in his second season with Barnet and his first as number to Dean Brennan, their second-place finish in the National League sees them just one win away from that glittering Wembley final.



Just one game away from promotion is Danny Payne. In his first season as boss at Biggleswade Town he knows it’s in his hands on Saturday but with a second place play-off berth the worst-case scenario, this busy entrepreneur seems to let little worry him.



Rounding up the week’s bizarre non league news is Matt Badcock of The Non League Paper. FA Cup fall-out, play-off hiccups, and more managerial shifts are the order of the day.
