On this week's show, we look at all things NWCFL and the movers and shakers.
We take a look at Clitheroe’s triumphant victory over National League Premier Division team York City in the FA Trophy, as well as Marine & Southport’s progress to the 4th round.
We shape up for a controversial corner, where we discuss the shenanigans at Bury FC and their shock appointment of Michael Jolley, which didn't last long, as within a couple of days he resigned when social media decided to put a man convicted of a sex offence on trial again.
Tim Lees has been appointed interim Manager until the end of the season, with Sam Ashton joining him as his assistant. This seems to be a very popular appointment amongst the supporters. But the question is, can a supporter-run football club destroy the fabric within it, or are the custodians the ones at fault?
We look at the finalised details of David Stockdale’s takeover at Farsley Celtic. They will now become FC Farsley Sports Club, now that the club has been liquidated and Paul Barthorpe has given up control of the club.
We finish the end-of-year show, talking all things Skelmersdale United, and give our final predictions and our expert analysis on local football.
All that and more.
