Very informative
I wanted to learn more about the business of football and this is excellent and has really helped me better understand how things work and the challenges faced in lower leagues of the game. No frills, no ads - just interesting dialogue!
Raw and Honest
Would love for the Pod to return asap.
Great insight into how respected non-league clubs are run
If you are looking for a highly polished, glossy podcast littered with commercials and 30% off introductory offers, you won’t find it here. This is a really interesting podcast which has a great array of guests and for us the listener, gives us a great chance to understand that the challenges at the top end of the non league pyramid are the same as the lower end. As someone who has just started their journey on steering the ship of a Step 6 club, this podcast series has given me so many ideas and concept to bring to the table. Keep up the good work.
