An October Festival Of Football

Plenty to get stuck into in the coming month as the season really hits its stride up and down the country.

Non-League Day is the headline event for many, Saturday 12th marking the 10th time that the occasion has taken place and with its reach not just confined to England.

I wrote earlier in the week about Slough Town's excellent offer for their home game with Billericay but there will be many more coming through over the next couple of weeks.

The Non-League Day twitter page is the place to keep an eye on, Croydon FC for instance are offering 'Pay What You Want' admission for their match against Meridian VP in the Southern Counties East League.

Wembley dreams are becoming a little more believable for those clubs still in the FA Vase and the next stage of the competition will take place over the weekend of 12/13th.

Both Crawley Town and Colchester United produced surprise results in the Carabao Cup during the week and a place in the quarter-finals is guaranteed for one of the two after they were drawn together in the fourth round.

Crawley have kept prices low for the tie, to be played on Tuesday 29th with Adult tickets priced at £10, Concessions £5 and accompanied Under 11's free.

On the Under-23 front there are fewer matches set for the main stadiums as summer turns very definitely to autumn but there are games scheduled at Pride Park, Ewood Park, Villa Park and the bet365 Stadium in Premier League 2.

And there is plenty of international football to take in with Scotland Under-21's hosting Lithuania at Tynecastle on Thursday 10th. Tickets are available from the Hearts website, priced at £5 Adults, £2 Under 16's.

Peterborough United is the venue for England Under 20's against the Czech Republic on Monday 14th. Tickets are priced at £5 Adults and £1 for Children and Over 65's.
