18th October 2024 - FA Vase 1 and Ashville FC
Season 9, Episode 11, Oct 18, 04:00 AM
It is FA Vase First Round time, and Phil Annests has his @favasefactfile hat on, detailing the debutants, the record breakers, and the downright bizarre. He is the man with the stats for every occasion.
Those stats make for great stories but my next guest and his club have more stories than most. They are the kind that make me love non league. Real football, run by real football fans. Founded by a D-day veteran who is now 100 and still plays a part in the club he formed 75 years ago, they have a new progressive manager who celebrates the club, the people, and the ethos surrounding them. Steve Scott is an enthusiastic young manager who has served his apprenticeship lower down the pyramid with great success and plans to continue at Step 4 Ashville FC. With two massive games ahead he’s neither fazed nor over-confident, but ready to enjoy being part of a club I think everybody will want to be part of when they hear his sell.
The Non League Paper’s, Matt Badcock is our man in the know in and around the week’s news. There’s FA Cup, FA Vase, Managerial moves, Club departures and non league making inroads at the highest level. All in a day’s work for nonleague’s finest media gurus.
