After the success of last season's event when a crowd of 1,374 came through the gate, Bath City FC stage their Community Day this Saturday (14th March) when they entertain Concord Rangers in the Vanarama Conference South.
For spectators it is 'Pay What You Want' admission and the RUH Forever Friends Appeal will benefit with 10% of the money raised.
The club are encouraging supporters of all clubs to attend in replica shirts with prizes on offer for both the furthest away in the UK and also the furthest away in the world.

Concord Rangers also provide the opposition at Weston-Super-Mare one week later (21 March) with the home side also trialling a 'Pay What You Want' initiative with a minimum entry fee of £1.
To get feedback from fans, entrance to the stadium will be via the club function room where a quick Q&A will be handed to spectators. Completion of that will also give entry to a draw where a free season ticket for next season can be won.
Commercial Director Neil Keeling told the club website: "Since I took over the reins on the commercial side I’ve been looking at ways in which we can re-connect with the local community. I think a lot of potential fans are massively put off by high ticket prices in football and even at our level in the Conference South.
"This initiative has been trialled at Brentford and Albion Rovers in Scotland with great success. I think it’s an ideal time for such an initiative and basically we can see how it goes, let’s see if we can generate more interest and support. Which in turn will hope to retain and encourage a new or even old generation of fan."
