Customer Reviews
Great pod
Love this pod although a little intermittent at the moment. Very truthful from a passionate chairman. Keep up the good work
Fantastic
Keep them coming! Really enjoying your podcast. Especially the non league insight.
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!
