I know people volunteer in football because they are passionate, love what they do and enjoy helping out in community and ask for nothing back in return… but I do like it when these people get recognition for their work and seeing how much it means to them, it’s heart warming!
This week’s interview I chat to Stephen Fawcett who is manager of Wearside League outfit Windscale, thank you Stephen for doing this interview.
@FawcyLad
To be honest I don’t care if I only had a few followers… if that few enjoyed what NLC dose then it’s all worth while but the fact I have over 1100, that’s magnificent and I appreciate every single one of you!!
I was just having a little self doubt about the stuff I post & just had a horrible thought that no one was bothered, however I now realise that I was just being silly and all the likes & lovely messages have given me a confidence boost… thank you so much 💙💙, Kyle (NLC founder)
This week, Non League Cumbria chats to Paul Cleasby, who plays for Furness Premier League Outfit Kirkby United, thank you so much to Paul for agreeing to do the interview and Kirkby Utd for arranging & organising it. (TWO PART THREAD INTERVIEW 1/2)
This fantastic photos time as our header has ended unfortunately but thank you to
@38wcr
for letting me use it since June and let’s spend today appreciating this fantastic photo!
The lack of players available on match day for clubs right across Cumbria is a little concerning, I just hope we don’t see more clubs withdrawing from respective leagues before the end of the season
🥳WE ARE TWO TODAY!! 🥳
Today marks two years since Non League Cumbria officially launched, just a quick thank you to everyone… local associations, leagues, clubs, press and everyone who follows and supports NLC!, we couldn’t do it without you… I pledge to you all… (1/2)
Im gutted for Holker Old Boys after they missed out on promotion yesterday but overall it has been a fantastic season for them and they shouldn’t let this heartbreak overshadow it, it’s a friendly club with a great set up and I’m sure they will bounce back stronger!

It’s just a idea at the moment, nothing concrete…but I might try & do some short interviews with coaches, managers, players, or anyone connected with the local Cumbrian game, like I said I’m only thinking about it at the moment for 2022, that’s if anyone will be interviewed 🤣
