The presenter since its launch in 2006 has been Caroline Barker, with former Producer Tim Fuell assuming the main presenting role from 2016.[1] The main presenter is usually accompanied each week by between one and two studio contributors, often from a mixture of regulars and special guests as well as two to four telephone guests from the world of non league football.
The Non-League Football Show was originally broadcast on BBC London 94.9.[2] It was moved to Radio 5 in August 2012, broadcasting at 05:30am.[3] An extended edition was also available as a podcast and the show has peaked at number 29 in the UK iTunes chart.[4] In August 2016, the BBC decided not to commission any more of the shows however it continues as an independent podcast.[5]
The show has strong connections to non-league football,[2] with Barker having previously been a director at Chelmsford City. Many of the guests and regular contributors work or have worked in non-league football. Frequent contributors since the shows launch include Dave Watters, a football journalist who works in public-relations for the Northern Premier League and Southern Premier League, and Dave Anderson, who has managed several non-league clubs.[6] 'Swampy' of FC United of Manchester radio appeared on the show during its time on Radio 5.[7] Contributors from the programme's Radio London days include Alan Alger during his time working for the Blue Square Conference and Willie Wordsworth, former player and manager.[8][9]
