It's over! The 2024-25 season is done and dusted - but before it truly ends, our 41st and final episode of a campaign to remember is here for you to enjoy. It was a heartbreaking end to the season for Maidstone - our roving reporters Nick and Cian talk us through their experience of the play-off final defeat, before we hear from Jordan Higgs and Temi Eweka following the loss which consigns them to another season in the National League South. League allocations have been confirmed and there was a surprise name in the shape of AFC Greenwich Borough - and one of the men behind the new arrivals, Gary Fiore, tells us all about it. And we hear from the team who arguably had the best season of anyone in the county - record-breaking Ramsgate steamrolllered their way to the Isthmian South East title and boss Ben Smith reflects on their achievements and looks ahead to next year.Thank you all for listening to us this season, have a great summer and we'll see you all in 2025-26.

Faversham takes centre stage in this week's show as we hear from the town's two clubs after an eventful week. Faversham Town did what they needed to and won at Tunbridge Wells to win the Southern Counties East League - boss Tommy Warrilow reflects on victory at the Culverden, winning promotion and his aim to finish the season strongly. Town's tenants Faversham Strike Force have confirmed this week that they are moving to Whitstable from next season - club founder and sporting director Gary Axford discusses the move, why it's right for his club at the moment and the SCEFL Division One title race, which his side are right in the mix of.

We discuss the new chairman and relegation at Hythe, and the title in the SCEFL is all but done too as we rush headlong into the business end of the season.

Another huge week of football, and we start with exclusive breaking news from one of the county's longest-serving managers - hit play to find out the big gossip here first! It's been a devastating week for Canterbury City as their groundshare hopes fell through, leaving them without a home and opting to return to the city - but take voluntary relegation to the Kent County League in the process.

The Reposs Non League Show with Barking and Sevenoaks 

A bumper show for you as we look back on a Non-League Day of highs and lows - and preview a huge FA Vase semi-final first leg on Saturday. Three cracking interviews for you to enjoy, starting with Ebbsfleet United CEO Damian Irvine after the club's relegation was confirmed - he discusses the gap between the National League South and the National League and reflects on mistakes the club have made - but is positive that under Josh Wright things will be better next season. Whitstable stand one tie from Wembley and boss Jamie Coyle is in confident mood ahead of the sold-out visit of Hartpury University on Saturday in the first leg of their last-four clash, with his side unbeaten in 16 games and the arch in sight... There's been a change in the dugout at Cray Wanderers after Neil Smith moved on to become assistant manager at Crawley - and his number two Tim O'Shea has stepped up in his place - Tim tells us about how it all came about, his hopes for the future and enjoying life at Wanderers. There's a new boss coming at Sheppey United, and a change at Lordswood too and we discuss that and all the rest of the news from across the county. And we talk musical instruments, Last One Laughing, Snow White and loads more besides. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Reposs Non League Show with Jamie Shaw , George Christou and Jamie Harrington 

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. David Attree, David Shrigley OBE and Mr Kevin Miller, Whitehawk fans one and all, and big advocates for the magic of Non League. Matt Badcock is on hand again from The Non Leagues Paper. There's agglomeration of sports sites, managerial moves, and the business of football clubs all on the agenda as he also plans a bumper read with a mass of Non League Day initiatives set to headline the Non League Paper this weekend.

A sad week in Kent non-league with the passing of Sheppey United manager Ernie Batten - his assistant manager and lifelong friend Geoff Record joins us to pay tribute to the man who was instrumental in bringing football back to the Isle of Sheppey, led the Ites to the FA Cup first round and so much more - Geoff tells us about Ernie the man, Ernie the player and his impact on the Island. On the field, there was a crucial win for Snodland Town at the foot of the SCEFL and manager Luke Jessup reflects on a great week for the club, the warm welcome he has received and hails his young backline after their first clean sheet of the season. On the flip side, it was a tough afternoon for Lordswood joint-boss Ross Wiles after his side came up short, and he admits they need to be better at both ends of the pitch after a result which leaves them deep in relegation trouble. Chatham Town continued their good form with victory at Dover and boss Kevin Hake discusses the battle for the play-off places and the importance of finishing the season strongly even if they don't make it. There's all the rest of the news from across the county after a busy week, with a rare win for Ebbsfleet United and a change in the dugout at Welling United, plus a potentially crucial points deduction at the top of the SCEFL. And we've still got the usual chat and nonsense too, including car washes, five years on since lockdown and the end of the 5.30am disco mystery... Hosted on Acast.

What a week it has been for Newcastle defender Dan Burn!  In this episode of 'One on One', Juliette Ferrington went to his hometown of Blyth to meet up with the 32 year old, with neither knowing what was going to happen eight days later on Friday 14th March, when he was called up to the England squad by Thomas Tuchel.  Two days after that, he became the first Newcastle United man to score in a Cup Final since 1976. The stuff of fairytales!  However, as we find out, it's not always been easy for Burn - from dealing with rejection and playing non-league, to having his confidence shot as he made his way back to Newcastle in the Premier League.  You can also watch this episode on Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel and on our website and app.

Jimmy & Fenners are joined this week by the absolute legend that is Charlie Austin.    The former Burnley, QPR, Southampton and Swindon striker is still banging them in for non-league Totton and is here to share some incredible stories from his career.    Who was tougher to play against – John Terry or Virgil van Dijk? Is Charlie responsible for VAR? And how close was he to joining The Libertines?     Fancy helping us design our away shirt?

The Reposs Non League Show Isthmian North Special with Brentwood Town Felixstowe And Walton and Bury Town and The Essex Senior League Semi Final Cup Draw 

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 old contender who knows all about the highs and lows of Non League football management. Gary McCann is more than ready for the battle of the final. 8 league games and if success comes, of taking on the challenge at the next level too. Matt Badcock joins us from the Non Leagues Paper in a week with some interesting talking points from Ballers league to managerial moves and more non-moves notified in advance, there's plenty in discussion and surely plenty to read in this weekend's Non League Paper.

There's still a long way to go this season, but we've already had our first managerial exit ahead of next season after Jay Saunders announced he was to leave Tonbridge Angels - club chair Sophie Purves reflects on that news, discusses the criteria for his replacement and looks ahead to a bright future at Longmead. Ryan Hanson is back at Dover on loan and has found a better club than the one he left - he reflects on his return and scoring the opener to help the Whites get back to winning ways over Bowers & Pitsea. Herne Bay also found the winning touch on Tuesday night, for the first time under new manager James Collins, who discusses his start to life at Winch's Field, the potential of the club and the challenges of trying to strengthen his squad. We also discuss the axing of Folkestone boss Andy Drury, the plight of Welling United and the race for the SCEFL play-offs, and have all the usual chat and nonsense, this week including Uni mates, art auctions, Wales, interior design, Chat GPT logos and loads more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the business of Non-League football. Beneath the top four tiers of the revered English football pyramid sits a whole other football world; hundreds of teams, players, coaches, owners playing week in week out to climb the ladder. Jamie Vardy, Ollie Watkins, Jarrod Bowen, Tyrone Mings have all played non-league football. ‘Welcome to Wrexham' recently storied the quality that exists and the difficulty in getting out of it. I've wanted to do a show focused on this from day one, so I'm delighted to welcome Eastbourne Borough owner Simon Leslie to the show. This is the fully unfiltered reveal on what it is like to buy, run and try to develop a club outside the core of English football. The opportunity is huge, but the challenges are significant. There's no soft touch here, as we welcome Simon to the Business of Sport. In today's show we discuss: Buying a Non-League Team: What was it about Eastbourne Borough that attracted you to the opportunity when you had looked at clubs in the Football League? What is unique about buying a club in Non-League and what was the financial requirement to not just purchase the asset but also to run it? Owners now have to go through a rigorous process to check they have the resources to buy a football club…or do they? Is the FA's ‘Fit & Proper' test fit for purpose?   “There's an element of stupidity (in football ownership)”. Why do successful business people continue to plough their hard earned money into football clubs? Can you Make Money?: What are the economics of a Non-League club, from no media rights to a brutally competitive commercial landscape? How do you stand out from the rest to drive more eyeballs and more traffic through your club?  The importance of content in a modern sporting landscape; how Eastbourne have become the envy of many far bigger clubs with a cutting edge, multi platform media offering. What needs to happen to drive more revenue opportunity in football?  Football Governance Fit for Purpose?: How much money do Non-League teams receive from the Premier League and EFL, and what changes could be introduced to deliver a better financial outcome? Are the right people running football in England? Owners have to do more to drive change; why the responsibility doesn't just sit on the individuals at the top of centralised football. Do the people at the top of Women's football believe in their own product?  “I am an unofficial spokesperson for Non-League football because they're not doing it themselves and they deserve more” Orreco  https://www.orreco.com/ Scan.com https://uk.scan.com/

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. Celebrating International Women's Day this weekend, the Trident leagues at Steps 3&4 are embracing the her game too movement. We speak with Lucy Ford co-founder of Her Game Goow and their Head of Grassroots in why it's important that Non League leads the way in the changing of football culture. Jon Couch wears the Non League Paper hat this week. He has Trophy and Vase Quarter-final reviews and Semi-final previews, managerial movements and what's to come in the Non League Paper this weekend.

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. Our managerial insight this week comes from the manager of Midland Premier side Whitchurch Alport. Not only does he know the quirky history of his wonderful club, but Adam Shillcock is also at the heart of the revolution that will see a second FA Vase quarter-final within a handful of years and is bringing the town and the community together across the ages. Matt Badcock is our man from the Non League Paper this week. He has his own Trophy and Vase insights, ground grading foresight and managerial movement background knowledge that he brings to the table along with another packed Non League Paper this weekend.

Simeon Gholam speaks to three more players on this episode of The EFL Interviews on the Essential EFL podcast.First up is Sheffield Wednesday's Josh Windass who talks about his side's tendancy to score great goals this season and why he doesn't enjoy evening kick offs.Then we head to Barrow and hear from Robbie Gotts. He tells Sim why he thinks Barrow have found this season trickier than in recent years and talks about his development as a youngster at Leeds United.And finally Sim speaks to Ethon Archer. The Cheltenham midfielder explains his journey into the Football League having played for a number of clubs at Steps 4 and 5 of the non-league pyramid.

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 staved off relegation, seen new owners coming in, beaten local EFL rivals in the first round of the FA Cup and now looks to secure promotion back to National North from the Southern Central Premier Division. Brett Donnelly never envisaged dropping back to manager in Step 6, but then not many probably envisaged AFC Welwyn even existing, let alone pulling up trees to be in a strong position of a second promotion since being founded in 2023. After the disappointment of his departure from Hitchin earlier this season he certainly seems to have found that spark again reigniting his love of Non League football.

With Chelsea safely despatched from the FA Cup last weekend, attentions turned six days later to ridiculous 8pm kickoff part two and a Brighton breezy 3-0 ‘sweep aside' of our dearly beloved London visitors! Winning that game meant one double was achieved for the Albion in the shape of back-to-back home wins against Chelsea, but it wasn't the only double for Brighton at the weekend. That's because the other club of note within the city of Brighton and Hove, Whitehawk, were in action the following day for the very tough visit to highflying Dover Athletic, but it was The Hawks who prevailed to make it a glorious double for Brighton's teams with their surprising 0-2 win. Russ and Jack Albion made the trip down to the corner of Kent to see that fantastic win, taking the opportunity to review Albion's battering of Chelsea down the pub before kickoff on Saturday.

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 points better off with three draws but still strive for their elusive win, that Darrell Queeley hopes is not far off. With the 3Up campaign prevalent across many news channels and the National League DIvisions so tight we turn to an expert in those tiers. Rob Worral of NL Full Time joins me to offer his insight, knowledge and take on the magic that is Non League. Matt Badcock from the Non League Paper helps with the news round-up this week. As well as providing details on what is to come in this weekend's Non League Paper.

Russ and Pete saw Everton were heading for the coast and thought “sod that!”, electing to follow The Mighty Rebels' fixture over in Kent, in an important promotion six-pointer. Surprise, surprise, the Everton game turned out to be a typically turgid, anti-footballing affair while The Stones v Rebels clash was entertaining and fun. R&P obviously took the opportunity to sample some of the local quaffables pre and post match and had the pleasure to sit down for a chat with some local fans, including Paul, who kindly agreed to have us record our conversation. All in all a good day out and a terrible PL abomination of a game cunningly avoided!

The FA Vase and the FA Trophy reach the third round this weekend. That's 64 clubs in 32 ties in each competition. Phil Annets is on hand thankfully with both hats on @fatrophyfacts and @favasefactfile to give us the runners the riders and the history makers taking part.  One chairman who has already seen this club make history in the competition this year is Edwin Slinn. Northampton ON Chenecks is effectively his schoolboy club, and as he explains, there is a fantastic tale behind their name. A home tie awaits, and there is lots to play for, but Wembley is just a few short hops away. Jon Couch rounds up the week's news. There's plenty of FA Cup reaction coming in this weekend's Non-League paper, but as we discuss, there will be plenty from the Vase, the Trophy, the league, and more managerial movements if we can beat Storm Darragh.

The FA Cup Second Round is here. A round of magic for all involved. A chance to shine, create memories and history but also in much part because of the carrot of the big boys if the Third Round can be reached.  9 non league sides in action this weekend and all miss each other so 9 chances for Cupsets, or maybe 9 chances for non league heartbreak. We talk with Phil Annets in @facupfactfile mode to tap into his knowledge and insight into the greatest cup competition in the world. With a bucket full of FA cup memories already, Wealdstone assistant boss Paul Hughes is hoping his sides Saturday morning kick off will be another one to add. A local derby for the National Leaguers against Top of Division One Wycombe Wanderers. He admits it wont be easy but having trained with and under some of the best, made his own magical memories and seen his side hit form inspired by the community around it, maybe this is another one for the pot.
