Daisy Hill's stadium was given a new name recently—thanks to Angry Ginge, who is now sponsoring it and has acquired the Stadium's naming rights. The Ginge Power Stadium.

We discuss his rising fame and impact on non-league football.

In more sensational stories, last week Joe Connor was sacked via text, and this week Aaron Seviour was dismissed by email after an unusual situation involving dual registration with another club. We unpack the drama behind these sacking stories.

The controversy continues as Maghull manager Joey Burns shared a photo of a glaring missed offside decision—only to be criticised by senior level five referee Scott Hendry for voicing his grievance on social media. We examine the advantages and disadvantages of venting frustrations online.

But it's not all sunshine—things get controversial as we tackle issues closer to home, including our own Skelmersdale United. When you see something wrong in the game, who can you turn to? Is it possible to report misconduct without facing retribution? Are referees and officials under pressure from players and clubs? Does anyone care at this level?

We also discuss Southport's stance on refusing to face City of Liverpool over alleged unpaid loan players—should off-field drama be aired publicly before all facts are in? And is it right to refuse to play?

The drama continues with kit clashes and a pitch tear at a match between Hanvant & Waterlooville & Farnham Town, leaving us wondering—was something in the air from "The Solent" or just bad luck?

But it's not all just highlights and draws—we're tackling a serious issue: violence at football matches. Hear the harrowing story of Richard Agbasoga, who was viciously kicked and punched in the head during a game for Ormskirk West End after a pitch-side altercation, leaving him with a fractured skull. Tensions flared as a dozen or so men stormed onto the pitch just as chaos erupted during the game.

We question whether these violent incidents are on the rise and discuss the troubling increase in verbal abuse among players, managers, and supporters. Is it time to hit the brakes before violence spirals out of control?

In the show's second half, we welcome a very special guest—Dave Dempsey, manager of Burscough. He shares the wild story of what might be the shortest, and most controversial, management tenure in Northern Premier League history—just three days at Prescot Cables.

Additionally, Dave discusses his journey from player to manager and his mission to turn Burscough's fortunes around.

And finally, we look at Skelmersdale United's recent setbacks and the tough road ahead in a league that's proving more challenging than ever.

All this and much more—stay tuned for an episode packed with action, drama, and insight you won't want to miss!
