23rd May 2025 - NonLeagueHQ and Stats

This week, we celebrate the stats, or rather, we celebrate the men who bring you the stats. In a world of volunteers, these guys give their time and know-how to make out lives easier and more interesting by supplying the data that helps make sense of it all. They ply their trade as @NonLeagueHQ1 on X, and it is a pleasure this week to find out a bit more about what makes Matt Cooke and Andy Forward tick, here how they’ve already expanded their offering and how like-minded people could get involved. 

Matt Badcock is our Non League Paper representative helping us round up yet another week of the season. There’s games played, games to be played, clubs rejoining and clubs reconfiguring as well as a multitude of managerial changes.
