25th March 2023. Non League Day. Radford FC with Frank Horsley.  Non League Day is always one on the footballing calendar to look forward to. A chance of clubs to invite supporters of their bigger neighbours and give them a taste of what non league football is all about. Radford FC are no different. You might just miss their Selhurst Street ground as you travel through NG7 on one of Nottingham's trams but they are a progressive club looking to work their way up the pyramid.  In this blog I speak to Frank Horsley. The man on the tannoy at Selhurst Street known as "The Raddy Rude Rock Radio MC". Frank speaks to me about things such as the #GreenLightRaddy fundraising. The Radford ultra's affectionately known as "The Raddaeati" and just what to expect on a matchday down Selhurst Street.  As it stands Radford sit in 6th in the United Counties League Division 1 (step 6) just 4 points out of the play off spots. After missing out on promotion with a loss in the pla...

Jack Hawkins, played with Jack since we was 7 and we have stuck tog...
