Five teams to watch out for in the Northern Premier League West Who should we be keeping our eye on this season?

Trying to revive my Substack account.

Starting it by looking at five teams that it would be worth keeping an eye on this season in the Northern Premier League West.

If you like non-league football, it would be worth subscribing- it's totally free.

Last weekend, I was asked by the media team at Kidsgrove Athletic if I would be interviewed to talk about the work that I (and the wider Moorlands Radio sport team) do in promoting our local non-league clubs.

Taking the evening off from radio duty to attend a football match as a spectator.

It's Leek Town v Chorley in a pre-season friendly.

I cover Leek on the local radio, while Chorley is my hometown team and the team I support.

Just enroute to Hanley Town v Leek Town in pre-season.

By gosh it’s a warm one here in the Potteries (and England in general).

Make sure you apply sun cream, take water and a cap if you’re at a game.

A pleasue to be asked by the non-league paper team to write the round up on yesterday's pre-season action.

Despite it being late June, we still had a dozen or so fixtures, and I've picked out the best bits of it all.

Getting ready to speak to new Leek Town signing Matty Fenton for Moorlands Radio.

The defender arrives from 1874 Northwich, where he was involved in 14 goals last season as they made the Midlands Football League playoff final.

I will post the interview later this evening.

A pleasure to chat with Tamworth goalkeeper Jas Singh following their recent exploits in the FA Cup.

The Staffordshire side took Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur to extra-time last month in the famous old competition.

It's #FloodlightFriday and this week's effort comes for Foley Meir of the North West Counties First Division South.

Foley are back in the Meir area of Stoke-on-Trent and, this is their second spell at this level having previously played there in the 2022/23 season.

Shaping up to be a lovely afternoon in Alsager.

Love speaking to Neil Baker following a game.

Whatever the result he always makes time to speak to us and Tuesday night was no different following a 1-1 draw with Chasetown.

Elliot Justham: "The FA Cup Brings Out The Best In A Club" Justham on facing Championship opposition in the third round

We haven't had a big upset in the 3rd round of the FA Cup yet.

Can we get one tonight? Dagenham go to Millwall and I spoke to the long-serving Dagenham keeper Elliot Justham last week to preview the game.

If you're going to read one book this year then I recommend Pondy by Nathan Pond & Dave Mitchell.

It's the autobiography of Fleetwood Town legend Nathan Pond and his career of going from the NWCFL to League 1 with the Lancashire club.

Just the one team from the Staffordshire County League has applied for promotion and, that is Rocester.

The Romans have been in the non-league system for years, only recently slipped out of it after being shifted from the Midlands League to the NWCFL South.

Just transcribed my interview with Elliot Justham and he explains why the FA Cup is important to non-league clubs.

'No one gets to see them because there is no limelight on them unless there is an FA Cup run, and I feel like an FA Cup run can sort of bring out the best in showing off the club'
