It was in March 1992 that Aldershot Football Club became the first Football League club since Accrington Stanley in 1962 to close its doors in the middle of a season, and now the man that was responsible for that is involved at another club that is set to enter into administration. He was known as Spencer Trethewy at the time and made enough headlines when, in 1990, he took control of the Shots at just nineteen years of age on the back of a £200,000 signed affidavit.

There are few people in lower division football for whom more vituperation is reserved than Graham Westley. The Preston North End manager has a reputation for management-speak and self-aggrandisement that is well known, but such character flaws are hardly unfamiliar in football management even at its lower levels.

It's the penultimate week of the non-league season, and while most of the championship issues have now been resolved there are still relegation places to be filled at the bottom of many of the tables. We've got a mixture of the top and the bottom of the tables for you this evening, kicking off with the bottom of the Blue Square Premier.

We're mostly heading south for this weeks non-league videos of the week, and specifically to the Blue Square Bet South. Woking have opened up a gap at the top of the table, but their trip to a Hampton & Richmond side struggling to avoid relegation still looked like a tricky match, while elsewhere Farnborough FC were at home against Tonbridge Angels and Dover Athletic were at home against Welling United.

Refreshed and reposed after a break for Christmas, we're back this morning with a double dose of Non-League Videos Of The Week. We have a couple of matches from the Blue Square Premier coming up a little later this morning, but we are starting off with five of Boxing Day's matches from the Blue Square South.

We have five matches for you this week as our non-league videos of the week. First up is the match from the Blue Square Premier between Ebbsfleet United and a club that has been having renewed difficulties off the pitch again, Darlington. Next up are the goals from the Blue Square North match between Altrincham and Gloucester City.

The fifteenth of May must have felt like a long time ago for the supporters of Farnborough FC on Tuesday night. On that particular day, Farnborough stood at the cusp of a place in the Blue Square Premier. Having finished in second place in the Blue Square South behind champions Braintree Town, they started their play-off final with home advantage and as the favourites to beat Ebbsfleet United.

There is a lot of money flying about in the Blue Square South this season as the teams jostle to fill the void at the top left by Braintree Town and Ebbsfleet United. The gap between those with a decent budget and those without seems to be growing a bit more in the southern half of Step 2 than in the northern half.

This weekend sees the FA Cup final and a round of Premier League matches, as well as play-offs in the Football League. This evening, though, we are going to take a two-part look back at the play-offs in the Football Conference over the last couple of weeks or so, kicking off with action from the Blue Square South play-off semi-finals.

The Premier League season is still going and the Football League season ended at the weekend, but the non-league play-offs have already begun and, in some cases, have already ended. The Ryman League Premier Division play-off final was played on Saturday between Tonbridge Angels and Lowestoft Town, with the semi-finals having seen Tonbridge having beaten Harrow Borough and Lowestoft Town having won a local derby against Bury Town.

Our non-league videos of the week are twety-four hours later than usual this week but, to make it up to you, we've brought together the highlights of five matches this week. Our first match is from the Premier Division of the Ryman League and is between the league leaders, Sutton United and Hastings United.

With the AGM Cup looking set to decide the non-league pyramid's final placings once again, Jenni Silver looks at some of this year's possible contenders.

It should be the most exciting time of the season, promotions, play-offs and relegation dog-fights, the glorious month which ends the football season.

There are just four weeks left to go of the season in the Blue Square South, one of the two feeder leagues to the Blue Square Premier, and there is still all to play for at the top of the table. This week's Non-League Videos Of The Week features six of the top eight in the league, and with the battle for the title and for the four play-off places still wide open, there is still all to play for.

We have got four matches for you as our non-league videos of the week selection tonight. First up is a match between two teams chasing play-off places in the Blue Square South, Woking and Farnborough FC. Farnborough started the day in third place, but knew that anything other than a win could see Welling United leapfrog them on goal difference.

All things considered, life was always going to be difficult for Gloucester City. The football team in a city that is a rugby stronghold has always found shaking off the perception of being the junior of the two codes hard work, but this hasn't been helped in recent years by a series of events that seems to have left the club fighting a constant uphill struggle.

Ebbsfleet Utd keeper Preston Edwards was livid with his defence after been sent off after just 10 seconds of their Conference South tie with Farnborough at the week-end and you can't have blamed him, what a slack back-pass.
