Non-League Day

     Saturday - the day of the week that people up and down the country associate with the Beautiful Game. There may be no top flight action this weekend, but there is still plenty of football to be seen up and down the country!

Backed by professional clubs, MPs and celebrities, Non-League Day is all about getting behind your local team, whether it be Blyth or Bath the country comes together to celebrate the postmen, the mechanics and the PE teachers who never quite made it to the professional level. Non-League Day was set up in 2010 and has been annual event every year since and always coincides with an international break - so that means that if you're not watching the Toon Army this weekend, why not go down to Gateshead to watch some proper football! The people who attend non-league games are proper fans, die hards and you will meet lots of new friendly people and what's even better is the ticket prices are still affordable.

Better still is that Non-League Day have joined forces with Prostate Cancer UK. This means that if a total of 50,000 people attend a non-league game this weekend, Conference sponsors Vanarama will donate £10,000 to the charity! Just because you attended a non-league game! Imagine how many lives could be changed...

I'm backing Non-League Day - are you...?
