  • TSFFS E21, WITH SPECIAL GUEST DEAN JONES.
    Apr 4 2025

    In episode 21, we begin with our passionate round-up of the NWCFL.

    With Marine AFC now safe, we confidently focus on the National League North.

    As always, we tackle some of the more provocative issues. A debate about Cheadle’s choice to host their penultimate game against Bury at FC United’s Broadhurst Park raises questions about fairness and the competitive spirit, especially concerning Bury’s advantage over Lower Breck as the title could go down to the death. Do they gain an advantage with more significant support? Or does the paramount importance of safety take precedence?

    We also examine Avro FC’s surprising decision to part ways with David Birch and Mike Norton after an impressive five consecutive victories. Avro still has a chance of playoff glory, so how unsettling will this prove to be?

    In the show's second part, we engage with Dean Jones, one-half of the dynamic management duo at NWCFL Division South Championship-winning Winsford United. Dean shares the incredible journey and achievements he and Dom Johnson have cultivated since the beginning of the season.

    We conclude the show with expert insights and predictions for this weekend's matches.

    All that and more!
