Non-League Show

Tim Fuell and Dave Anderson look ahead to the weekend as the FA Vase and FA Trophy hit the last 16 of their respective competitions.
With Dave preparing his Chertsey Town side for their trip to Irlam if the weather can be beaten, discussion turns to the two sides Godmanchester Rovers and Coventry United expelled from the competition having reached this round.
Dave Diaper long-serving manager at 2014 Vase winners Sholing FC is the first guest as they prepare for a change in visitors with Sporting Khalsa now awaited. Just how has he kept six of those Vase winners five years later and what is the magical ingredient at Sholing that means over half the squad have made over 100 appearances for the club? Plus 15 points clear at the top of the Wessex Premier League he also discusses the issues automatic promotion to Step 4 could create for his small, seemingly very well-run club.
Even in transfer-deadline week the big football talking point was Monday night’s FA Cup Fourth Round tie between Barnet and Brentford. Ahead of the replay however, a trip to Carshalton Athletic awaits in the last 16 of the FA Trophy with the club very keen to progress and make the final at Wembley. In one of his busiest weeks of the season, Media Officer at the Bees Aarron Pullen tells the show what it’s meant to him, but why it has all been so worthwhile. Plus he reveals how he learnt it all in the lower reaches of Non-League.
Finally, Matt Badcock  from The Non-League Paper offers his thoughts on the FA Vase and FA Trophy as well as the managerial changes at Hartlepool United and Kidderminster Harriers.
