This coming Saturday, 3 September, will see Non-League Day 2016 celebrated up and down the country.
Staged to coincide with the international break, meaning no Premier League or Championship matches, Non-League Day marks the fantastic depth and breadth of the game in England and Wales.
The event has grown year-on-year, since its inception in 2010, with national media coverage of both the idea itself and also some of the more unusual admission offers that there have been.
Here are some NLD offers that I have seen so far, I'll try and tweet about as many others that I come across while the official Non-League Day Twitter page is also a good place to keep tabs.
