12th May 2023 - Kidderminster Harriers and the National League Play-offs
Season 7, Episode 38, May 12, 2023, 04:00 AM
Three big games remain at the top of the non league league season. The finals for the National league, national League South and National league north play-offs, to see who takes those remaining promotion spots to climb further up the pyramid.
We speak this week with one manager who if he achieves promotion sees it as his biggest achievement in a short successful management career but also a fairly illustrious playing career too. Russ Penn made over 280 appearances as a player in the football league and almost the same again as a non league player and 8 England C caps and now has over 130 games a gaffer under his belt too so he’s seen a fair bit of football in his time but this weekend is a big one in the National North play-off. A trip to Brackley and some 90 minutes plus add-ons, and perhaps extra time and penalties stand between them and a place back in the top tier of non league football.
Rounding up the week’s news this time around it’s Jon Couch from the Non League Paper. Plenty on the National League play-offs, how we got here and what lies ahead this weekend, plus a managerial merry-go-round that seems impossible to keep up with and some club administration news good and bad this week and the big stories of this weekend’s Non League paper.
