Coinciding with the international break on October 10th, Non-League Day provides a platform for clubs to promote the importance of affordable volunteer led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local non-league side.
Many
non-league clubs are almost exclusively volunteer run, with money taken at the
turnstiles often funding thriving youth set-ups, projects and facilities which
are of benefit to the whole community. The level of skill on offer at
non-league grounds will never compare to that at the Emirates Stadium or Old
Trafford, for example, but there are other sides to the experience, from which
the smaller club will always win hands down. The vast majority of games still
kick off at 3pm, ticket prices are realistic, you can often stand (and drink!)
anywhere in the ground and will always be guaranteed a warm welcome by people
who run their clubs for a love of the game.Whether you’re a Premier League or Championship fan without a game, a League One or League Two supporter who can’t make an away trip, or just someone who is curious about what their local club has to offer, there is sure to be something to interest everyone.
You can find a local match taking place near you here.
