This year’s Non-League Day is just over 5 weeks away on Saturday 23th March. ,With no Premier League or Championship games on that day it is hoped more people will focus on and attend Non-League games all over the country. There are also now some sister events across Europe.
Some local teams try all different extras to encourage more spectators. For example Grantham Town are visiting schools and local grassroots football clubs to give away tickets to attend their home game against Sheffield FC on that day, one Adult and up to 3 children free. Look up the social media of some local teams to see if they are getting involved.
Another new innovation is that on the following day, 24th March, there will be Sunday League Day. Some groups are trying to organise local games that kick off at 10.00, 12.00 and 14.00 so that you can watch all three games.
Non-League Day was first thought of in 2010 and this year celebrates the 10th anniversary of a partnership with the Prostate Cancer UK charity to raise money for a great cause.
So put the 23rd or 24th of March in your diary and support your local teams.
