    TSFFS S2 EP40

    This week on our show, we give a round-up of the NWCFL. With titles decided and relegation issues sorted, we review the play-off semi-final results and look ahead to the finals.

    We cover all the non-league clubs in our area. Prescot have been relegated. Lower Breck and Runcorn Linnets are out of the play-offs, but Bury achieve their second consecutive promotion win.

    We discuss the controversial corner. Portishead Town have been relegated from the Southern League after failing their ground grading, all after finishing second in the Southern League Division One South. Some believe they've been unfairly treated, but deadlines are strict. Now, the chairman and several directors have decided to leave the club. Has the club expanded too quickly?

    Simon Heaton has left his role as manager of Abbey Hey following a cut to the club's budget. What's the future for a club that narrowly avoided relegation?

    City of Liverpool are currently without a home, and no new ground has been announced yet. Meanwhile, rumours of a breakaway team named FC Community have surfaced. Is this the end for COL?

    We also take a look at Skelmersdale United and finish the show with our prediction for the weekend.

    All that and more.

    We kick off with the pre-show, discussing all sorts of nonsense as usual. Then we move on to the important matters.

    NWCFL Round: Top spot and relegation issues are sorted. The play-offs are on the horizon.

    We glide around the National League North & The Northern Premier League, highlighting clubs in the north west making their mark.

    In our "Controversial Corner', we examine gambling addiction, which is widespread among football circles, and ask if clubs could do more to protect those affected at the non-league level.

    Following the Mark Harris incident, FC United co-owner and supporter Jonathan Allsopp questions:

    Is the Northern Premier League fit for purpose? He believes laws on financial fair play are selective. We all know it's tricky to police, but everyone is aware that creative accounting has been part of semi-professional football since its early days. It's a contentious issue without doubt, but is Jonathan's frustration because, like many FCUM supporters, they see a vendetta against their club?

    King's Lynn have been fined an enormous £10k following their 'Sprinkler-Gate' scandal in February. They've avoided a points deduction, but can they appeal and get the fine reduced?

    We also discuss Gary Neville being verbally attacked on his way to a concert, Leicester City's demise, and the expansion of Liverpool County Premier League, with Formby expected to play Skelmersdale United.

    How bizarre will that be? Skelmersdale United is playing an away game at the ground they once called home, against a team from Formby playing in Skem. You couldn't make it up, could you?

    All this and more.

    TSFFS S2 EP38

    On this week's show.

    We have our usual roundup of football in the NWCFL as the season rapidly draws to a close.

    We take a look at local football in the National League North and the Northern Premier League.

    Bury could win the NPL West this weekend in front of a bumper crowd at Gigg Lane. They could replace Prescot Cables, who are on the brink of relegation from the NPL Premier Division.

    We reminisce about our recent visit to Clitheroe, a day out at a quintessential non-league football club.

    We revisit the demise of the NPL League Chairman, who was dismissed following an alleged unsavoury email to an FC United supporter.

    In the second part of the show, we speak to Litherland Remyca Manager, Steve Scott, who has taken the club from what looked like odds-on relegation to within touching distance of safety since his arrival in January. They face Burscough at home, and if Pilks lose, a win will see Scotty pulling off an escape akin to Houdini.

    In the final part of the show, we provide our predictions and expert analysis as usual

    All this and more.

    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.
