Gary Langley on a podcast…. It’ll never work….

[Frank Hughes @frankiejhughes]

NWCFL director Gary Langley joined us to explain how the FA League Allocations work.

With winners and losers everywhere, we review all the key decisions, including the FA’s ruling to let two newly formed teams join the league.

Burscough’s new manager, Phil Stafford, also joined us to discuss his appointment at Burscough and his enthusiasm to get started.

We cover some controversial issues as usual, with the top one being the rise in pitch hire fees locally.

All that and more.

Joint Statement with @MidlandLeague

[South Liverpool FC @SouthLplFC]

A very interesting statement from the @nwcfl and @MidlandLeague and confirms that at one point last summer we were nearly about to get on first name terms with the staff at Sandbach services. Hopefully the FA will sit down with leagues in general and decide on a “perfect oval”

We are not giving up, we are merely looking for an alternative delivery method and easier to use system. We are looking at various free and pay platforms as we look to invest in the podcast.

[Counties Podcast @CountiesPodcast]

Unfortunately We are going back to the drawing board. Episode 4 will be up soon but it will be the last for a wee while. It’s so time consuming to edit as we need to concentrate on day jobs. We are looking to see what live streaming options are available as a plan D.

[Counties Podcast @CountiesPodcast]

We are recording this evening with FCIOM Supporter Ian Strodder joining @MisterFallon & @garylangley in the studio. Episode will be out shortly after.

[Counties Podcast @CountiesPodcast]

Counties Podcast, Episode 3 kind of got lost in Cyberspace last weekend, but it’s definitely a thing! It’s sleeker, chicer and later than it has been but it’s still worth a watch! Episode 4 being discussed as we type…

@Mr78Christopher Streaky bacon should only be used on top of ones turkey at Christmas to keep the moisture in. Back bacon or no bacon at all on ones breakfast

Lots of great thoughts and views from Chris going out on various platforms and stages at the moment. Always good to see Andrew’s work in the @NonLeaguePaper and great to see word getting out about the future plans and ideas.

[Andrew Simpson @simmo_on_sport]
