We flagged up this year's Non League Day last week but as the event is now just a week away more and more clubs are outlining their plans for this celebration of grassroots football.
The Non League Day Twitter feed (@non_league_day) is the place to go to keep up with all of the things going on but all over the country clubs are pulling out all the stops to attract new fans through the gate on a weekend where there are no Premier League or Championship games.
Bungay Town, for instance, are paying fans (a shiny shilling each) to attend their home match while Chesham United have opted for a 'pay what you want' policy as they host Truro City.
Chesham have admitted 'bottling' the idea slightly by introducing a £3 minimum but I think they needn't have worried too much as fans have responded very positively to this type of initiative before.

Before next weekend it is the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and the majority of the clubs involved are offering £10 adult tickets for their games (Wolves v Walsall at Molineux could be tasty).
The final game of England Under-17's trio of matches at Burton Albion's ground is against Italy on Sunday 1st September at 3pm with adult tickets just £1.50.
Aberdeen's friendly match against Viking FC for the Energy Cities Community Cup on Wednesday 4th September is free to enter.
Affordable Football aims to bring you the special offers, reduced ticket prices and family deals that make catching a match anywhere in the country more affordable. You can tweet us @affordablefooty or email affordablefootball@yahoo.com if your club are doing something worth hearing about.
