19th January 2024 - Barnet & Bishops Sutton

Season 8, Episode 22,   Jan 19, 05:00 AM

The highs and lows of football spotlighted this week but also the magic of why we all do it and why we all love it.

First up a return to these waveforms of Barnet boss Dean Brennan. Into the FA Trophy last 16 and sitting third in the National League, life isn’t looking too shoddy. A Saturday tea-time visit of table-toppers Chesterfield is on the menu this week but as Dean says, he can only take one game at a time.

Some might think even one game at a time would be too much after 27 league games without a win this season. That’s the story from Bishops Sutton of the Western League Divison One but Chairman George Williams isn’t perturbed. Disappointed yes, but 50 years after helping reform the club he’s still doing everything he can to keep the club ticking over and he has everything crossed that they can stay in step 6 somehow this season, and after speaking to him this week I think the whole of non league would love that too.

Executive Editor at The Non League Paper Jon Couch is here to help with the week's news round-up, sadly including more clubs in peril and the seeming demise of one of non league’s historic clubs.
