On this week’s edition of the Non-League Goalmouth, Editor at Large Matt Badcock and Executive Editor Jon Couch are joined by the Non-League Paper’s North-East correspondent, Mark Carruthers, to talk through all the latest in Non-League!

The dream of reaching the first round proper is alive for a host of Non-League clubs, with a place alongside EFL opposition up for grabs.

Step 5 duo SE Dons and Tadley Calleva continue their remarkable cup runs, with the Dons travelling to Sholing and Tadley facing National League side Aldershot Town. Can either keep their fairytale going?

AFC Rushden & Diamonds face a tough test against Morecambe, while Bury, Leatherhead, Atherton Collieries, Brentwood Town and others will be hoping to spring surprises of their own.

The trio also discuss the latest developments at Gateshead, who have agreed a sale in principle to American investment company Flacks Group, subject to regulatory approval.

The Heed host Stafford Rangers, who have impressed in the competition, as they look to put their on-field struggles behind them.

Meanwhile, Forest Green Rovers face Chesham United with their existing coaching team remaining in charge following Robbie Savage’s departure for Peterborough United.

The panel debate whether FGR can continue without appointing a permanent manager, as the ongoing row between owner Dale Vince and Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony over the circumstances of Savage’s move into the EFL continues in the background.
