'The Power of Football' looks at how grassroots clubs in communities. The three-episode series saw the FAI, IFA and FAW all take part in conversations.
As a Club Mark club, Everton AFC spoke to host and the Scottish FA National Club Manager Danny Bisland on the daily challenges a club of their size face.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with both Danny and Vincent", Everton AFC Chairman Stephen Crowley told FAI.ie.
"It’s great to let other clubs know how Everton AFC deal with different scenarios as they arise, we’re far from perfect but we are definitely heading in the right direction. We are currently in the midst of the most trying of circumstance, if our conversation can help even one club some little bit then it was worth the hour of my time!"
Stephen was joined by Vincent Foley, FAI Club Support Officer for the podcast.
‘’We have always learned from and shared practices with the club development teams within the Scottish FA, Irish FA and Welsh FA so it was great to finally collaborate on one project". Vincent revealed.
"My thanks to Danny Bisland and the Scottish FA who hosted the podcast. This is a unique opportunity to listen to a podcast mini-series of grassroots clubs based in Ireland, and across the UK, discussing club development and the power of football. I believe it is valuable for grassroots clubs to share their experiences and in doing so help other clubs and volunteers tackle similar challenges. Thank you to Stephen Crowley and Everton AFC, for contributing to this podcast series.’’
