If you happen to wake up at around 5am,
with the headphones' wire from your portable DAB radio wrapped around
your neck, you might recover from the fright that you have been re-enacting a scene from Fifth Shades and tune into Radio Five Live. This
morning there was another episode of the Non League Football Show broadcasting at that time.
You have 29 days to listen to this-or
part of it.
This is a weekly programme that concentrates on the higher stages of the Pyramid but this week of course the producers got
embroiled in the Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup, FAN owned
clubs like FC United of Manchester, Community Status clubs (using Banbury Town FC as an example) and the appropriate use funding-£260 million is available to help improve English football.
Some of this is appropriate to my
local club Hepworth United FC, trying to achieve FA Charter Community
Status to help boost its clubhouse building plans. The club is hoping to form a hub around which the local community can enjoy our national game. This is not just about playing the game. Creating a
“gardening club” at the football ground be formed? Could HUFC have a wild flower garden established on that bank or in
the areas near the dry stone walls? Plant some shrubs, attract insects!
What would you prefer to have
offered to your club £5,000 or 10 volunteers? Our club needs to engage more people, especially those who have time on their hands (bloggers for example) who can help out and benefit socially. For example the club needs an IT wizard, somebody to help raise money, a media person, someone to clean the clubhouse when it is built!
Interviewed on his way back from a game was the owner of the The FA Cup factfile website, shown below, who edits a “blog” which
covers all sorts of Non-League Football bits and pieces; worth having a look!
Stick with it and scroll down through
his various entries, if you like unusual snippets about the sport,
then you will find them there. There is some interesting stuff about
the FA Cup:-
