Do you reckon there would be enough interest generated if I did a Non League in Notts podcast every Monday night next season live on You Tube at 7pm? Got a co-host lined up. Be lots of banter and guests on. It would be off-the-wall. What d’ya reckon? ⚽️ 😂 #bealaugh #comedygold

So, gets in the house last night, and can see the TV screen as clear as a bell. Pretty much not watched TV for two years because of poorly eyes; even glasses didn’t help. Broke down in tears, just couldn’t believe the difference within 24 hrs. NHS, what a Team 🌈 xx

Biggest problem at NFFC is they always appoint managers who are ‘out of work’ - how about headhunting someone who is actually doing a good job? 🤷‍♂️ #NFFC

Groundhoppers - FA saying that Step 7 and below games can be watched by supporters, only rule is you can’t stand in groups of more than 6x. Further guidance is given to Step 3 - Step 6 clubs, where you pay on gate. Guess it’s on FA site?
