The Glassboys featured on these pages earlier in December to highlight the reduced prices for their annual Community Day which takes place on Saturday 2nd January.
It's £5 Adults, £3 Seniors and 16-18 Year-Olds and free for accompanied Under-16's but one important thing to add is that Stourbridge will be holding a bucket collection for their opponents on the day, Ramsbottom United, after extensive flood damage to their Harry Williams Riverside Stadium.
Stourbridge's board of directors have also pledged to make an additional donation to the Rams from club funds.

Hitchin Town FC
A welcome return to the pages of Affordable Football for Hitchin Town after their battle to keep playing at the Top Field ground featured heavily last season.
Although the club are looking into the possibility of a new stadium, their stated wish is to remain at Top Field and a Floodlight Fund is to be launched at the game against Frome Town on Saturday 16 January to start the process of raising enough funds to match a grant from the Football Stadium Improvement Fund and replace the 50-year-old floodlights currently in use.
For that reason, and to encourage more people to come along and see what the club is all about (building on the community involvement that was to the fore in the fight to stay at Top Field), the Frome fixture will be 'Pay What You Want' at the gate with all money raised above the budgeted figure going into the Floodlight Fund.

January Sale at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Attendances
over the festive period tend to take care of themselves, almost
regardless of league position, but matches in January can sometimes need
a bit of selling and many clubs do try out offers during this period.
Molineux is the venue for a Championship clash between Wolves and
Cardiff City on Saturday 16th January and the Old Gold are looking to
generate some early interest in the fixture.
All tickets for the game are half-price which means Adult prices
start from £12 and Under-12’s admission will be £2.50 in the Family
Area.

Merry Christmas!
A very merry Christmas to anyone who has ever read the blog or seen us on Twitter.
Enjoy the day itself and, more importantly, enjoy your football on Boxing Day whatever level the fixture is that you are attending.
The calls for a winter break are never going to go away, certainly at the top level, but one of the joys of the game in the UK is the sheer depth and breadth of it.
So, from the Highland League to the Western League and all points in between, let’s hope it’s Game On!

Ilkeston FC, Swindon Supermarine, Stenhousemuir FC
As 2015 draws to a close, a look back at some of the clubs we have featured on Affordable Football over the course of the year in relation to offers that are ongoing throughout the 2015/16 season.
Ilkeston FC took the decision back in the summer to reduce admission prices to the minimum allowed by their respective league, the Evo-Stik Northern Premier.
That means entrance to the New Manor Ground is priced at £6 Adults, £4 Concessions and free for children with the next home game being the visit of Matlock Town on 28th December.
Swindon Supermarine also reduced matchday prices ahead of the season after a sponsorship deal with the Brunel Shopping Centre.
Admission at the Webbswood Stadium is priced at £5 Adults, £3 Concessions and free for Under-11's.
Mangotsfield United are the next visitors in the Southern League Division One South & West, on 2nd January.
Stenhousemuir made an offer of reduced price entry to the season ticket holders of the other nine SPFL League One clubs when they visit Ochilview.
The £10 price is equivalent to the price that home supporters pay for each game through their season ticket and is an attempt to generate bigger crowds, a louder atmosphere and a better deal for all fans, something the club say 'is what Scottish football needs'.
The Warriors host Stranraer on Boxing Day.

Harrogate Town AFC
Harrogate Town threw open their doors of the CNG Stadium for their National League North game at home to Brackley Town on Saturday afternoon and a superb crowd of 1,534 saw a late winner for the home side to cap an enjoyable day.
The club’s ‘Festival of Football’ continues tomorrow (Sunday) with Harrogate Town Ladies Day which includes a free match at 12pm between West Riding Combination U-18’s and Sporting Recruitment U-18’s and a Q & A with Liverpool Ladies skipper and England international Gemma Bonner.

One More Match Before Christmas
Time for just one more?
On Friday night there is free football at Derby County's iPro Stadium where the Rams entertain in the FA Youth Cup. Kick-off is at 7pm.
Braintree Town host Wrexham in the National League and admission to the 7:45pm kick-off has been reduced to £10 Adults and £5 Concessions. Details of a free season ticket offer for Under-18's is also on the club website.
On Saturday, it is 'Kids for a Quid' at West Bromwich Albion against Bournemouth in the Premier League and £10 Adults, £1 Children for Coventry City's home clash with Oldham Athletic in League One.
Banbury United have 'Football for a Fiver' as Cinderford Town visit the Spencer Stadium in the Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South & West (Under-16's free) and it is 'Pay What You Want' at Great Yarmouth Town when they host Halstead Town at the Wellesley Recreation Ground.
A special mention to Harrogate Town AFC who are offering free admission to all for their National League North game against Brackley Town, part of a Festival of Football weekend at the club with a free Ladies match taking place at 12pm on Sunday.
On Monday night there is free football at Carrow Road (7pm) where Norwich City Under-21's meet Liverpool and on Tuesday 22nd, Macclesfield Town play a re-arranged FA Trophy tie against Ashton United at 7:45pm. Prices have been reduced to £5 Adults, £3 Over-65’s and £1 for Under-18’s and Students.

Football For A Fiver: Barnsley FC
The idea for this blog came out of Coventry City’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy run of the 2012/13 season when the Sky Blues offered £5 tickets for their home ties and attracted over 30,000 to the Ricoh Arena for the Northern Area Final against Crewe Alexandra (we’ll gloss over the result).
So it is good to see that Barnsley, who won their Area semi-final at Wigan Athletic recently in a game where all tickets had been reduced to £5, are doing the same for the first leg of the final against Fleetwood Town.
All tickets, in all areas of the ground, are a fiver if purchased in advance (£10 on the day) and with the match scheduled for a Saturday (9th January at 3pm) there should be a cracking atmosphere at Oakwell.

FA WSL Season Tickets
FA Women’s Super League Clubs are starting to sell season tickets for the 2016 campaign with two early bird offers that I have seen so far at Notts County Ladies and the current champions Chelsea.
Both offer entry to all home WSL matches (eight in 2016 as the top league expands to nine teams) and any FA Cup and Continental Tyres Cup home games as well.
At Notts County, buy before 2nd January for prices of £40 Adults, £20 Concessions and £100 for a family while at Chelsea, purchase before the end of January and it is just £25 Adults and £10 Concessions.
Other clubs should be up and running soon with their season tickets and the main FA WSL page has links to each individual website and, when the season starts, a match centre with good information about tickets on a game-by-game basis.

Five FA Trophy Matches For The Weekend
The First Round Proper of the FA Trophy takes places and, similarly to the Third Round of the FA Cup, a
number of the bigger clubs at this stage of the competition are offering reduced prices for their matches.
Aldershot Town host Eastleigh in an all-National League
game and prices have been reduced to £12 Adults, Concessions and Juniors. Keep
hold of your ticket stub if you go and you will get the same prices for
Aldershot’s home league game the following Saturday against Guiseley.
AFC Telford United take on Chester FC with prices reduced
to £9 Adults, £5 Concessions and £2 Under-16’s for this one. An added
attraction (certainly for me) is the presence of Somersby Blackberry &
Cranberry Cider in the Learning Centre Bar and the stadium bars at the ground.
Grimsby Town welcome Solihull Moors to Blundell Park and
have reduced prices to £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and £1 for Under-14’s
And it is Tranmere Rovers at home to Wrexham at Prenton
Park with tickets priced at £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and £1 for Under-17’s.

United. The Gulls have moved the fixture and reduced prices in a bid to attract
a decent crowd. Prices are £10 Adults, £5 for Concessions and Under-18’s and
Under-12’s can attend for free with a paying adult.

Northwood FC
Evo-Stik Southern Division One club Northwood featured in this week’s edition of the Non League Paper with secretary and treasurer Alan Evans talking about their offer of £30 season tickets.
Although the initiative was announced just before the start of the current season, Mr Evans said: “We’re quite pleased with the results. We are up to nearly 100 season ticket holders now. Last season we had ten so it’s a much improved position for us to build on."
With a newly-refurbished clubhouse to help tempt people away from live football on TV in their own homes, he added: "If those 100 come just every other game it would be a big boost for the club."
Northwood host St Ives Town at Chestnut Avenue this coming Saturday (12th December).

Southampton, Watford, West Brom: A Dip Into The Premier League
The Premier League doesn’t feature too often on these pages, mainly because game-by-game offers don’t tend to happen too much at that level of the game.
But there are good things happening, particularly with regards to away supporters and either the reciprocal deals that clubs are doing between themselves or the methods used to make the most of the money clubs receive to subsidise away travel and/or tickets.
Southampton, for example, are using the money they have received to subsidise two away trips in five days during the busy festive period so tickets for the matches at West Ham United and Norwich City after Christmas are reduced by 50% across all categories and will cost £22.50 for Adults.
A reciprocal deal between Watford and Sunderland means that Hornets supporters travelling to the Stadium of Light on Saturday 12 December will pay £20 Adults and £10 Over-65’s and Under-16’s. Watford have also reduced the price of official coach travel to the game to just £1.
And a word for West Brom, where the pre-Christmas home fixture against Bournemouth is ‘Kids for a Quid’ for Under-17’s while Adults will pay Category B prices which, at the Hawthorns, means £27 or £25.

Football For A Fiver At Wigan Athletic This Saturday
With both sides having been knocked out of the FA Cup at the 1st Round stage, Wigan Athletic and Barnsley have scheduled their Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Area Semi-Final for this coming Saturday, 5th December at 3pm.
The winners will face either Fleetwood or Morecambe in the Area Final (terrace tickets available for that one at £10 Adults) and, to encourage a healthy crowd, the Latics have priced tickets for this weekend at just £5 Adults and £1 Juniors.

In League One, meanwhile, Wigan host Sheffield United on Boxing Day and that fixture is also well-priced at £15 for Adults, £10 for Over-65's and £5 for Under-18's.

Student Special At St Mirren
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a student ticket offer at Partick Thistle and a similar promotion is in place at St Mirren for their Championship clash with Queen of the South on Saturday 5th December at 3pm.
Students currently attending University of West Scotland or West College Scotland can attend the game for just £2 if they e-mail the club in advance with a picture of their valid matriculation card or pop into the ticket office.

Great Yarmouth Town FC
Members of the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League and currently towards the top of the 1st Division, Great Yarmouth Town FC play their home matches at the Wellesley Recreation Ground where a beautiful grandstand dating from 1897 dominates the setting.
It's a ground I always look in on when I'm in the town on holiday although my last few visits haven't coincided with a match.
The Bloaters will be hosting Halstead Town on Saturday 19th December and have designated the game as a 'Pay What You Want' fixture in a bid to get a healthy pre-Christmas crowd through the gates.

Pay What You Want At Hendon FC
A great way to start 2016 at Hendon FC as the Greens take on Wingate & Finchley in a Ryman League local derby on 2nd January.
For the second season in a row this fixture has been designated as a 'Pay What You Want' game with donations welcome when you come through the turnstiles.
Can't make it to the Earlsmead Stadium? Then you can be a virtual spectator by making a donation online and receiving an e-mailed edition of the matchday programme.

Truro City FC
There are always difficult decisions to be made when a game, especially at Non-League level, is abandoned.
Costs still have to be met and a balance needs to be struck between compensating supporters and protecting precious budgets.
That is a situation that is perhaps magnified at Truro City FC given their geographical location and the half-time abandonment of the National League South game against Hemel Hempstead Town on Saturday 21 November due to a floodlight failure (outside of the club's control) posed an unwelcome problem.
The game is being replayed on Tuesday 15 December (7:45pm) which is clearly not ideal for the visitors but, hoping to turn a negative into a positive, Truro have received dispensation for admission to the replayed fixture to be free of charge.
The hope is that the move will attract a few more people than normal to venture out in Cornwall that night and watch the region's top club in terms of league position while those Hemel Hempstead fans who make the journey will be given free hospitality through the Truro City Supporters Club.

Christmas Ticket Deals
I'll update this as we
get closer to Christmas but a number of clubs are offering ticket
package deals to either cover a group of games around the festive period
or the remainder of the season as a whole.
A few examples that I have come across.
A four-match ticket at Raith Rovers FC offers supporters the chance to watch four matches from a list of six home fixtures between Boxing Day and early March. Adult tickets cost £50 (a £22 saving) with Over-65's and Under-16's paying £25 (saving £11).
Lincoln City's Christmas Cracker is for three match tickets for any home league game between Boxing Day and the end of the season and is available for £45 Adults, £33 Concessions, £15 Students and Juniors.
The 'Fleet Festive Five' at Ebbsfleet United is a five-game ticket for any quintet of league matches. It costs £44 for Adults (saving £11), £36 Concessions (saving £9) and £20 for Youths (saving £5).
And Shrewsbury Town supporters can save £10 by purchasing tickets for the fixtures at home to Swindon Town (19 December), Fleetwood Town (26 December) and Oldham Athletic (9 January) at the same time.

Student Super Saturday At Partick Thistle FC
Although they are currently only one place off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership, these are positive times for Partick Thistle FC with the club recently announcing 'new shareholder investment' and the elimination of £1.5m of debts.
Announcing the news, chairman David Beattie said: "This deal is the result of a huge amount of work behind the scenes at Firhill and feels like the ultimate reward for a sustained period of careful financial planning."
The ongoing battle to boost the fan base continues, meanwhile, after a slight fall in attendances last season.
The Jags host Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Firhill this coming Saturday (21 November, 3pm) and are reaching out to the estimated 70,000 students enrolled in Higher Education in Glasgow with free entrance to the game available if they email the club beforehand.
For full details of how to get a ticket, go to the official PTFC website.

Half Season Tickets & Reduced Admission At Accrington Stanley
Enjoying their best start to a Football League season since the 1950's and having recently secured new investment from local businessman Andy Holt to clear £1.2m of debt, Accrington Stanley are looking to the future and hoping to attract more supporters to the Wham Stadium in the New Year.
Half season tickets are on offer for £130 Adults and £90 for Over-65's and Under-16's which allow admission to all league matches between January and May and also give free admission to the Boxing Day clash with Carlisle United.
And, after a review of all things connected with the club following the recent takeover deal, admission prices will be reduced from January to £15 Adults, £10 Over-65's and Under-16's while Under-12's will be admitted free when accompanied by a paying adult.

Christmas Cracker At Coventry City
My own club have featured on the pages of Affordable Football over the past six months or so with a reduction in season ticket prices and a simple match day pricing structure which means nobody coming to the Ricoh Arena pays more than £20 for their ticket.
That, and the positivity generated by Tony Mowbray's attacking young side, have seen a slow increase in attendances and a slight rebuilding of the bridges between club and fans after the bitterness of the move to Northampton.
For the home game against Oldham Athletic on Saturday 19 December, on a day when crowds can drop against the competing attractions of Christmas shopping, the Sky Blues have gone further and cut prices to £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and just for £1 for Juniors.

Brighton & Hove Albion Women will make their debut appearance at the Amex Stadium on Sunday 6th December when they face Charlton Athletic in the FA Premier League Southern Division.
And the Seagulls are aiming to break the attendance record for a domestic women's league fixture which currently stands at 3,180 for Manchester City's game against Notts County last month and which followed on from a successful World Cup for England's Women.
Both clubs have ambitions to make it into the Women's Super League and an entertaining game should be in prospect.
BHAFC season-ticket holders can attend for free, Adult tickets are priced at £4, Under-18's £2 and a family of two Adults and two Under-18's can watch for £10.

Free Family Day At Folkestone Invicta
Formed in 1936, Folkestone Invicta are currently flying high in the Ryman League South with Saturday's 5-2 victory against Guernsey sending them six points clear at the top.
They will host their second free family day at the Fullicks Stadium on Saturday 21 November.
The first such event, for the game against Chipstead in April, attracted over 1,000 through the gate and a similar crowd is hoped for this time around when Peacehaven & Telscombe are the visitors.
Entry is free with a host of family activities taking place and the club are asking supporters to make donations to Motor Neurone Disease.

International Break, International Action
A look at some of the international action over the next week or so, starting with England whose Under-17's are up against Germany at Rotherham's New York Stadium on Friday 20th at 7:30pm with tickets priced at £3 Adults and £1.50 for Children/OAP's.
England Under-19's take on Japan at 3pm on Sunday 15th.
Adam Armstrong, currently setting League One alight with the mighty Sky Blues, is part of the England U-19 squad and it has been interesting to see this season how often he has been away with this group.
Clearly that can cause concerns for his parent club Newcastle (and Coventry's promotion bid from a selfish point of view) but it does point to a more consistent transition through the age groups of the England set-up. Perhaps Armstrong will be showing his pace and finishing ability on the pitches of Qatar in 2022?
Tickets for the game at Manchester City's Academy Stadium are priced at £3 Adults and £1 Concessions.
Gareth Southgate's Under-21's have a Euro Qualifier against Switzerland at the Amex in Brighton on Monday 16th, 5:45pm. Tickets are priced at £10 for Adults and £5 for Concessions (U-18's, Over-65's and Students) with a Family Ticket also available at £20.
Chris Coleman's senior team are clearly the Welsh headliners at the moment but the country's Under-21's are unbeaten in Euro qualifying at present and are in action twice over the next week or so.
They take on Armenia at the home of Bangor City FC at 2pm on Friday 13th and are up against Romania at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground on Tuesday 17th at 6pm.
Admission for both games is priced at £5 Adults and £2 Concessions.
St Mirren Park hosts Scotland Under-21's against Ukraine on Friday 13th at 5:45pm. Tickets for the Euro qualifier are priced at £5 Adults and £2 Under-16's with an offer for youth groups also in place.

They meet in the campaign finale, the Scottish Cup Final, at Ainslie Park, Edinburgh, this Sunday (8th November, 2pm) with admission priced at £5 Adults and £2 Concessions.

Six For Saturday: FA Cup 1st Round
A long weekend of FA Cup 1st Round ties kicks off on Friday night when Salford City host Notts County (meaning the Evo-Stik Northern Premier club will be on prime time BBC One two nights running with the entertaining documentary about their famous owners concluding on Thursday) and ends in the same area on Monday when FC United host Chesterfield.
Most League One and Two clubs who have been drawn at home have reduced their prices for the weekend and here's six games for Saturday which could be worth a visit.

And a mention to Plymouth Argyle where serving Armed Services personnel, on production of their ID, can watch the Carlisle United game for £10 and bring a guest at the same price.

Scunthorpe United, The FA Cup & #SaveOurSteel
Clearly a club such as Scunthorpe United, known as 'The Iron' and with such strong links to the steel industry, could not ignore the recent news about major job losses in the town but it pleasing (to this observer at least) that they are putting a major effort into publicising the 'Save Our Steel' campaign.
Next Saturday's FA Cup tie at home to Southend United has been dedicated both to the campaign and to those affected by the news and the club are open to any ideas that come from supporters to help with this.
http://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/article/southend-cup-game-is-save-our-steel-day-2769944.aspx?
Normal matchday prices have been reduced to £10 (£12 seating) for Adults, £5 (£6) Concessions and £2 for Under-16's.

FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round: Altrincham FC
A hard-fought FA Cup tie at Moss Lane (The J. Davidson Stadium) in Altrincham on Saturday afternoon went the home side's way by a single goal against their Conference rivals Chester FC.
To the victor the spoils of a £12,500 payment from the prize fund and a place in Monday evening's live televised 1st Round draw.
League One and Two clubs come in at this stage and many of those drawn at home are likely to offer some kind of reduced prices over the weekend of 7/8 November.

Aberystwyth Town & Cefn Druids
Two quick mentions for Friday night football in Wales tomorrow evening.
Aberystwyth Town host Premier League champions TNS in an eagerly-awaited encounter at Park Avenue (7:45pm) and the club have designated the game as their annual Student Promotion Night.
Having a renowned University in a relatively small town makes it more than worthwhile for the local football club to tempt students in and I know that Aberystwyth do lots of work in fresher's week to market the club.
For the TNS game, students can watch for just £2 and will also get a free hot dog into the bargain!
http://www.atfc.org.uk/home/student-night-showcases-titanic-top-three-tns-tussle-on-Friday
Cefn Druids AFC are the oldest football club in Wales according to their website and are currently sitting at the top of the Huws Gray Alliance League as they bid to return to the Welsh Premier League.
Guilsfield are the visitors to The Rock on Friday night at 7:45pm and admission prices have been reduced by £1 to £5 and £3 respectively with children's entry remaining at £1.

Affordable Football On Twitter/Half-Term Footy
Our Twitter address is @AffordableFooty and it is where I try and update all of the latest offers that I come across.
This week, for instance, there is news of reduced prices on Friday night at Cefn Druids as they take on Guilsfield and FA Cup matches at Tranmere Rovers and Gateshead where Adult tickets this Saturday will be just £10.
Meanwhile, and particularly relevant to me for the first time ever as my little lad will be having his first half-term break, is that school's out in many parts of the country.
There is free entry to Aldershot's EBB Stadium on Monday 26th October as Chelsea host Manchester City in a Premier League Under-21 clash which kicks off at 5:30pm.
Later in the week, on Friday 30th, Chelsea U-21's take on Tottenham with admission £3 Adults and £1 Concessions.
Not a match but a good offer nonetheless, Barnsley FC are offering free guided tours of Oakwell on Wednesday 28th to supporters under 16 who are accompanied by an adult.
These must be booked in advance with details on the club website.
Look out also for open training sessions or autograph signing days at your local club.

Enjoy Non League Day
Non League Day takes place this Saturday, 10th October, with clubs up and down the country having gone the extra mile to attract more supporters through their gates during the international break which means there are no Premier League or Championship games.
Free entry, 'Pay What You Want', reduced prices for season ticket holders of other clubs, even free eggs. There really is plenty going on at your local side this weekend.
As with any such initiative there will always be some questions over the longer term benefit but at Non League level even 50 extra people through the turnstiles for one game can make a huge difference to finances.
Enjoy your football, wherever you go!
