Okay something a little bit different (and O/T) here is some local non league football for you. On Saturday Squires Gate FC were at home in the FA Cup 1st Round Qualifier and with no football we went down to see if they could make history and get through this round for only the 2nd time in their history. Jane likes the club and the people down there and we try and do our best to try and promote them because it's a great little club and they are always glad of any help we can give.
The FA Cup is a massive competition for non league and a run in this can bring so much needed revenue to a club the size of Squires Gate FC. What a shame the FA went against the wishes of the Premier League to allow more money to filter down to non league and grassroots football. What they did was reduce the amount of money given to these clubs which makes no sense to me?
Anyhow I hope you enjoy this video as Squires Gate have drawn a home tie in the next round and this may just encourage one or two of you to go down and give them some support in the next round. I can assure you if you have not taken in a game a Squires Gate you will be given such a warm welcome you may just find yourself going down there more often

Is it a good or bad thing that Wren Rovers and AFC Blackpool are in such close proximity?
3 clubs around the same grass roots level so geographically close to each other. I've always found it a little strange as there could be just 1 club around the same level as Fylde..

Good luck to the Gate.

FA Cup second qualifying round: Sutton Common v Jersey Bulls on BBC Sport, iPlayer & Red Button
BBC Sport will broadcast the FA Cup second round qualifying match between Sutton Common Rovers and Jersey Bulls on Saturday, 18 September.
The tie between eighth-tier Rovers and ninth-tier Bulls will be available to watch on the Red Button, iPlayer, BBC Sport website and app from 12:30 BST.
Both sides look to progress to the third qualifying round for the first time.
The first round proper begins after the fourth qualifying round.
Sutton Common, of the Isthmian League South Central Division, have already progressed further than ever before in the competition after a 3-1 win away at Cray Wanderers in the first qualifying round earlier this month.
Jersey Bulls, the first club from the island of Jersey to compete in the FA Cup, are the competition's top goalscorers this season with 19 goals in the three previous rounds.
Their impressive results so far include a club-record 10-1 win, followed by 4-0 and 5-1 victories.
Commentary comes from Conor McNamara and former Everton and Scotland forward James McFadden at the VBS Community Stadium as the FA Cup celebrates its 150th anniversary.
