Early Non-League Day 2016 Offers

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.

Quick off the mark with their Non-League Day plans were Wealdstone FC of the National League South. For the visit of Poole Town (3pm) they have reduced Adult admission to a minimum of £5 (donations can be made above this amount) for Adults, £3 U18's and free for U16's. 

In the same division, Dartford FC host Maidenhead and have a trio of offers in place for the 3pm kick-off. Under 16’s can attend for free, a Family Ticket (2 Adults, 2 Children) is available for £15 and season ticket holders from any other football club can watch the game for £5.

And, also in National League South it is Margate versus Hungerford at 3pm and with admission priced at £5 Adults and Concessions, £3 for 11-17-year-olds and free for U11's.

Non-League Day 2016 coincides with the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup and supporters are being offered 'Pay What You Want' admission at Hitchin Town when Top Field plays host to Biggleswade United at 3pm. 10% of the gate receipts from this meeting of two clubs with close ties will be donated to Prostate Cancer UK. 

Coalville Town entertain Redditch United on the road to Wembley and season ticket holders from any Premier League or Championship club can come and watch with a 50% reduction on admission available.

There is Hallmark Securities North West Counties League action at Barnoldswick Town FC with 1874 Northwich coming to the Silentnight Stadium. Admission is priced at £5/£3 and free for U16's but season ticket holders from any professional club can watch without charge.

And for something slightly different,  S.V. Oosterheem of Holland are entering fully into the spirit of things with free admission to their game against Blauw Zwart which kicks off at 2:30pm local time.
