Hitchin Town FC

Very much regulars on Affordable Football and our Twitter page, Hitchin Town FC continue to look for ways in which to make watching a match at Top Field as light on the pocket as possible.

What I like more than anything about the Canaries is the regular communication with supporters, manager Mark Burke and secretary Roy Izzard writing weekly columns for the club website.

And Roy's notes for this week make for interesting reading as he talks about attendances and the constant battle to improve them, a battle Hitchin seem to be winning with Monday night football, Theme Days and, of course, Pay What You Want which has become a staple part of any season at Top Field.

Each Pay What You Want fixture that the club have held has produced more than the budgeted admission on the gate although they are wary about overdoing it and keeping it for special occasions.

One such is Non-League Day 2017 and Hitchin's home fixture with Stratford will be Pay What You Want, as is their trip to Biggleswade United this Tuesday (August 22) for the 'Top Field Trophy' which has become an annual event between the two clubs.
