'Sliding Doors' moments in football are rarely as starkly illustrated as the 89th minute goal that kept Newport County in the Football League last season at the expense of Hartlepool United.
It was an incredible achievement for the Exiles to even have a chance of survival going into the final day of the 2016/17 campaign as they had been nine points adrift of safety when local hero Michael Flynn took over as manager.
Fast forward to February and Newport sit comfortably in mid-table in League Two and an estimated £900,000 better off from their FA Cup run which culminated in a replay at Wembley against Tottenham Hotspur while Hartlepool battle for their very survival as a club.
It isn't just financially that Newport have prospered, however, and with Flynn as a figurehead it seems as though the club has managed to re-engage with its local community.
They will hope to further strengthen those links with a ticket promotion for the visit of Crewe Alexandra on Saturday 24th March with all areas of the ground priced at £5 for all ages (Under 6's free).

Non-League Finals Day
Monday saw the draw for the semi-finals of both the FA Vase and FA Trophy take place at Wembley with the national stadium now just a two-legged tie away for clubs in both competitions.
The Northern League will be represented by either Marske United or Stockton Town in the Vase final and the winners of that semi-final will meet either Thatcham Town or 1874 Northwich.
Stockport County supporters may deserve a day out at Wembley more than most but the Hatters must get past Brackley Town in a quarter-final replay while Wealdstone would have a short journey to the Arch if they emerged victorious from a semi-final.
The other tie is an either/or as Bromley or Spennymoor Town will take on Leyton Orient or Gateshead.
Both the FA Vase and FA Trophy finals will take place on the same day, for the third succesive year, at Wembley on Sunday 20 May 2018 and tickets for the double-header are available now, priced at £25 for Adults, £10 for Concessions and £1 for Under-16's.

March Offers At Carlisle United
A busy period of matches is approaching at Brunton Park and Carlisle United are looking to keep people coming through the turnstiles with a number of ticket offers.
There was a lovely article in the February edition of When Saturday Comes that highlighted the dilemma that faces Carlisle in deciding whether to ever move away from their historic home, talk of which pops up at regular intervals.
Brunton Park is ageing and its upkeep is expensive but it does maintain the kind of character that a new stadium could never possess while being easily accessible from the city centre with all of the local pubs and cafes that go with that.
In the great rush towards building new grounds that we saw in the late 90's and at the turn of the century there was a kind of keeping up with the Joneses mentality and the planned projects were invariably talked of as win-win scenarios.
The sense of what might be lost is greater now that the downside of moving away from traditional homes can be seen, drastically so at Darlington and Coventry but even perhaps at clubs like Chesterfield where supporters next season look set to be watching National League football without the comfort blanket of being at Saltergate.
Anyway, it's Brunton Park for now and Carlisle have the following March offers in place.
Grimsby Town – Saturday 3 March – entry just £10 to everyone over the age of 18! Tickets must be purchased before 5pm on Friday 2 March. Normal match day prices will apply on the day of the game.
Crawley Town and Cambridge United – Saturday 17 March and Saturday 24 March – buy both games together and receive a £10 discount! This applies to adult, senior and young person tickets.
Tickets must be purchased before 5pm on Friday 16 March. Normal match day prices will apply on the day of the game.
All accompanied juniors will get entry to the games for just £3 through the month of March [accompanied under-7s free entry as normal]. Tickets must be purchased before 5pm on the Friday before the game. Normal junior prices will apply on the day of the game.
Lincoln City – Monday 2 April – Season Ticket holders can ‘bring a friend for a tenner’ in advance of match day for just £10.

Tottenham Price It Right With Rochdale Next To Feel The Benefit
A genuinely exciting FA Cup tie at Spotland on Sunday afternoon ended up with the right result as Rochdale scored in stoppage time to earn a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur minutes after Harry Kane’s late penalty looked to have secured Spurs a spot in the quarter-finals.
It means another game for Spurs that they probably would rather not have but the unique circumstances of their season-long tenancy at Wembley make it a different scenario than if they were playing at White Hart Lane.
As they did for their replay against Newport County in the previous round, Tottenham have priced tickets for the game, scheduled for Wednesday 28th at 7.45pm, at just £10 for Adults and £5 for Under 18's and Over 65's in Wembley Level 1 and have a family ticket available at just £20 for Two Adults and Two Juniors.
That allows for plenty of people to take in a game (just under 39,000 were at the Newport replay), the chance to watch some big-name players and say they have been to Wembley for a very affordable price.
It suits Spurs to do so, of course, as they have an eye on next season and an enlarged capacity White Hart Lane which they will want to fill on as many occasions as possible, so reaching out to a wider community is the sensible thing to do.
But the club have shown a positive attitude to pricing cup-ties throughout both the current campaign and in last season’s Europa League when they played at Wembley as well and, as with Newport recently, it has a great knock-on effect for Rochdale.
There has been some (presumably manufactured) controversy about the potential for Spurs to have an FA Cup semi-final at their 'home' ground but I think there's something satisfying about the national stadium providing a financial boost to one of the game's most resilient clubs.

The End Of A Long Winter?
It may be tempting fate but the weather does seem to have impressed around the country and that allowed far more matches to be played over the weekend, some pitches of course remaining so sodden that they were still unfit for action.
A quick glance at this week's Non-League fixtures in England and Wales indicate a packed schedule as clubs catch up with previously postponed games and the myriad of league and county cup competitions begin to reach their final stages.
The headline in this week's Non-League Paper is 'Your Club Needs You' and although that relates to volunteering at local clubs, as they deal with an increasing amount of paperwork, it could easily be translated to those coming through the turnstiles.
So, whether it is in the Highland League in Scotland or the South West Peninsula League in England, try and catch a match at your local club if you can between now and the end of the season.
The Links page of the blog has some good websites to guide you in the right direction and I try to keep the Twitter side of Affordable Football updated every day.

Coventry City Community Day
Unfortunately you cannot always organise the right result to go with a day that was otherwise very successful for Coventry City.
Just a few hours after announcing that they would be playing at the Ricoh Arena once again in 2018/19 the Sky Blues attracted more than 28,000 supporters through the turnstiles for their League Two fixture against Accrington Stanley.
Justifiably much-maligned by their fans over the past couple of seasons for high prices and a distinct lack of customer-friendliness, City did everything right for this one with thousands of free tickets for local schoolchildren, £5 tickets for everyone else, reduced price programmes, free parking available and a supporter village before the match.
Dominant at home in recent matches, Mark Robins injury and illness-hit side went behind early and never got in a blow at a well-organised Stanley side.
Empty seats aplenty were in evidence before the final whistle but the children at the game seemed to enjoy it and it keeps the club firmly in their mind for the future.

Easter Monday Is 'Pay What You Can' At Crawley Town FC
Having been pleased with the 4,266 attendance and the goodwill generated by last season's dip into the 'Pay What You Can' waters, Crawley Town will be repeating the offer on Monday 2 April.
A minimum of £1 is all you will need to watch Harry Kewell's side in League Two action against Swindon Town.
Although there's just under two months to go to the game, it could be an important one in the promotion/play-off race and should top the Hartlepool gate where, interestingly, the average price paid per ticket was £4.
Operations Director Kelly Derham told the official club website: "We learned a lot from last season's Pay What You Can in terms of offering a bit more than just a football match, and we’re going to work hard to provide plenty of pre-match entertainment."
I think this point is crucial when a club is thinking off doing a 'Pay What You Want' or reduced admission fixture as a one-off.
Coventry City are holding a Community Day for the visit of Accrington Stanley this coming Saturday and it is the extra touches, in addition to the £5 tickets, that should make it an enjoyable occasion.
Tickets for the Crawley game go on sale on Thursday (Feb 8th).

Inter-Services Football Double-Header
Something slightly different for March and an opportunity to watch some very competitive inter-services football for free.
On Wednesday 7th, the British Army take on the Royal Navy at the EBB Stadium, home of Aldershot Town. The two teams are playing for the Constantinople Cup with the Women's match starting at 2.30pm and the Men's at 7pm.
One week later on Wednesday 14th the Army are in action again, this time against the RAF (who are in a busy period of matches and who take on FC United of Manchester on 20th February) at Greenhous Meadow, Shrewsbury.
Kick-off is at 7pm.

Coventry City Pull Out All The Stops For Community Day
I've been critical throughout the past two seasons about Coventry City's lack of engagement with supporters, over and above the headline off-field issues that continue to pose a genuine threat to the club’s future, on ticket prices and the general matchday experience at the Ricoh Arena.
That has exacerbated the low crowds that have become synonymous with home games at the stadium as disenchantment with owners SISU has grown.
Fans remain wary about the catalogue of errors that have pushed City down into League Two and worried that there is still no announcement as to where home games will be played next season.
It may be a one-off but the Sky Blues have got it spot on with their Community Day plans, however.
The visit of Accrington Stanley to CV6 on Saturday 10 February will see the North Stand of the Ricoh filled with local schoolchildren and their teachers/parents.
All other tickets have been made available at £5 each (with reduced prices also on Premium Lounge and Executive Box seats).
And a decent extra touch is the provision of free off-site parking on the day as well, at one site initially but with more potentially to come.
Public transport options are poor for getting to the Ricoh (despite a railway station finally being completed next to the stadium a couple of years ago) but the cost of parking is an extra expense on top of ticket prices in excess of £20 for League Two football.
