TSFFS S2 EP42

In this week's episode, we tackle all the controversial issues. The most prominent one is the FA League Allocations, and the show features league director Gary Langley to explain it from a NWCFL perspective.

The JMO in Skelmersdale has increased its hire costs, and we ask whether they've gone too far, with some costs having doubled. It's fair to say they've invested hundreds of thousands of pounds into improvements, but why are these costs being fully passed on to the people they've reached out to—those described as 'ad hoc customers'.

We have an exclusive interview with the new manager of Burscough, Phil Stafford. Having just won the Macron Cup with AFC Liverpool, he was still riding high when the offer came through. We ask him some serious questions about who he's taking with him and what his remit is.

We finish the show by discussing Skelmersdale United.

We are joined by Skelmersdale United Manager Andy Barlow as we review all the north-west winners and losers.

After 1,330 games in management, Ramsbottom United Manager Steve Wilkes has decided to retire. We pay tribute to him.

We also examine a few controversial issues, including Dorking Wanderers, who have sold a stake in their club to a US investor.

And in the final part of the show, we host our non-league quiz of the week.

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.
