Six Matches For £5 Or Less This Weekend

One more than usual as I've included both of Tranmere's friendlies on Saturday.

Starting on Friday night in the fine city of Stirling where Stirling Albion host Oldham Athletic at the Forthbank Stadium with a 7:30pm kick-off. Adult admission is £5, Seniors, Students & Under-17's £3 and Under-12's free of charge.

Tranmere Rovers send teams to Cammell Laird 1907 (1pm kick-off) and Marine (4pm) with the kick-offs hopefully allowing fans to get to both matches if they want. The Cammell Laird game is priced at £5 Adults and £2 Concessions. At Marine the prices are £5 Adults, £3 Concessions and free for Under-11's when accompanied.

When I was on holiday in Weymouth last summer I was tickled to see the local derby with Dorchester billed as 'El Jurassico' so I am drawn to Saturday's Creasey Cup between Dunstable Town and AFC Dunstable. Both clubs play at Creasey Park, named after a former patron of Dunstable Town and the match is being advertised as 'El Creaseyco' which is surely worth £5 of anyone's money.

And I've featured Guernsey FC on these pages before but this Saturday, Sutton United of the Conference South fly out to face a Jersey side fresh from competing in the Island Games. It's a 3pm start at the Springfield Stadium and tickets are priced at £4.

Pick of the WSL games meanwhile is the visit of league leaders Chelsea to third-placed Sunderland Ladies. Kick off at the Hetton Centre is at 6:30pm on Saturday and tickets bought online are £4 Adults, £2 Under-21's and Over-65's (matchday £5, £2.50). Special family tickets and discounts for Sunderland AFC season ticket holders are also available.

This is just the tip of the iceberg as usual so please have a look at your local team to see what's happening this weekend.
