This years Non-League day will soon be upon us.
Now, in its 15th year, this annual event that coincides with an Internationals weekend is an opportunity to showcase the importance of affordable, volunteer led, community football outside of the four major English Leagues.
Non-League Day was set up by James Doe in 2010 and has now become an annual event in the footballing calendar. Some of the Non-league clubs have special promotions for the weekend. Attendance generates needed funds for the smaller clubs who often are the hubs for local boys and girls football, mens, and womens and senior teams. If you have the chance please go along to a local game where I am sure you will receive a great welcome and enjoy what lower level football has to offer.
On the day Buckingham FC have reduced entry by 50% and free entry for under 16’s, look up Altrincham FC and Lancaster FC for an array of entry price offers, Oxford City will charge only £5 admission with under 16’s being £1. There are many more, just look up your local club.
As has been the case for many years the day will also advance a wider campaign in football to promote awareness of the Prostate Cancer Risk.
I have yet to decide where I will be going. I hope you all enjoy the day.
