TSFFS S3 EP6

We start the show by reviewing the winners and losers from the opening day in the NWCFL. There have been a few shocks as well.

We discuss local non-league football at step four and above, including some clubs that have transferred to the Midland League Premier.

In Controversial Corner, we look at Ashington AFC, recently featured in a documentary, 'Saving Our Club', which was part of the BBC's 'Our Lives' series - celebrating life in the UK in all its diversity through the eyes of remarkable people doing extraordinary things. It centres around a close-knit group of volunteers fighting to keep the club afloat amid threats of relegation and financial pressures. Does that sound familiar?

Steve Yarwood resigned as joint manager of West Didsbury and Chorlton after their 7-0 defeat to Runcorn Town and immediately became involved in an unpleasant social media dispute with player Emmanuel Omorogbe.

Rob Smethurst has stepped down once again as a director of Macclesfield to focus on personal interests. Has the recent controversy finally taken its toll?

In part two of the show, AFC Knowsley manager David Platt joins us to discuss their recent promotion from the West Cheshire League, the challenges of meeting ground criteria, and his aspirations for the club.

In the final part, we round up the fixtures with our expert analysis and predictions for the week ahead.

All this and more.
