'Pay What You Want' football is a hot topic in Scotland at present after the success of recent initiatives at Albion Rovers, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Clyde FC and a similar offer at Hamilton Accies which let fans in for 10 pence to the home game against Inverness.
Airdrie FC are running a 'Pay What You Want' scheme for their Valentine's Day clash with Forfar Athletic and, this Saturday (7th February), so too are Gala Fairydean Rovers of the Lowland League.
The home match against Dalbeattie Star will benefit Scottish Heart at Risk Testing (HART) with the charity taking all donations made at the gate.
Gala Fairydean Rovers secretary Graeme McIver commented: "The club will shortly be unveiling a significant community initiative of which the tie-in with Scottish HART is just one part.
"We are working with a number of local charity partners and other organisations in an effort to ensure that Gala Fairydean Rovers FC is fully integrated within the community of Galashiels.
"The motto of our new initiative will be 'A club with a heart, in the heart of our community'."
More details can be found in this article on the Border Telegraph website.
Also on a charity theme, Dulwich Hamlet FC are breaking new ground with an 'Anti-Homophobia' friendly against Stonewall FC on Wednesday 11 February at Champion Hill (7:30pm).
Tickets are priced at £3 and £1 with proceeds going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
