Stewart's Podcasts
Thu 16th October 2014 | General | By Ian Templeman
Since the start of the season, a number of clubs around the League have been contributing to a weekly podcast put together by League website contributor and fan Stewart James.
The podcasts, which usually last around an hour, have featured managers and club officials from across the NWCFL, and their popularity is all the more remarkable given that Stewart only began following games in the league just over a year ago, on Non-League Day.
"I found myself at Stockport Sports v Atherton Collieries in their FA Vase match, and my love affair with Non League football began", said Stewart. "Stockport won an entertaining game 5-0 and I went home after the game, started a Wordpress site and wrote a match report.
"After that first game, I was hooked. I followed Stockport in the next round of the Vase as they were defeated 1-0 by local rivals Cheadle Town. Again, I wrote something on my newly made blog and watched the stats grow as people seemed to read what I wrote.
"I started to follow a few NWCFL games but not entering any of it on my blog. I was just enjoying going to the games and tweeting from my newly made Twitter account. I'm a prolific Tweeter and apart from football, I'm a social media addict.
"I set up new Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and changed from a Wordpress blog and bought the domain name nonleaguereview.co.uk and made it more of a website.
"Then things really started to take off, Daventry Town were drawn against Chesterfield in the FA Cup last season and I used my website to 'blag' a press pass for the match. In the build up I did interviews with Daventry Town and their chairman Iain Humphrey, who I still speak to, to this day and have a lot to thank for.
"Since then I've done radio commentary, had a lift home from a game with a manager, sat in the boardroom and watched as players signed contracts, wrote for various websites, wrote for the Non League Paper and was an invited guest at Wembley for the FA Vase final last season.
"The latest NWCFL weekly podcast is being well received, and I'm hoping that will be around for some time. However, one thing I know - I'll be around and promoting Non League Football from my website for the foreseeable future".
