    Manchester Football Social - EFL and Below Show - Bury and Stockport promoted, Bolton down, Salford in the playoffs and Rochdale and Wigan stay up

    This is the EFL and Below Show from the Manchester Football Social, your look at all of the footballing action in Greater Manchester that doesn't come from the Premier League.
    Niall McCaughan is joined by Ian Foran and Aaron Benson from the Football Manc Cave after a busy period which saw Bury promoted to League One despite their off-field issues, and Stockport County making a welcome return to the 5th tier of English football after winning the National League North.
    Bolton continue to be shrouded in ownership doubts and were relegated from the Championship in a week where the players went on strike - the same can't be said for Paul Cook's Wigan Athletic who dug in to secure their place in the second tier for another season, much like Brian Barry-Murphy's Rochdale side who have avoided relegation in League One.
    Salford are unsure of their fate as they prepare to take on the National League playoffs - plenty to talk about of course on this week's episode!

Facebook app is rubbish ,

Generalised comments on matches nobody’s watched

As a fan of a lower league club not often covered by podcasts, I was intrigued by the thought that a podcast like this would tell me things I didn’t know about the goings on at my club. Not only did this podcast this fail to do this it, it didn’t even convince me that any of the contributors had seen the club play. Generic comments with virtually no discussion of tactics and clearly very little insight into the club. Maybe this show is better on the bigger clubs such as Bolton. I just don’t see the point of discussing matches you haven’t seen.
