Moaning about the international break and 'no football' is a standard social media trope but out in the real world there's a host of matches all across the country this weekend in competitions where the sponsors range from global airline giants to the producers of top-notch treats to go with your cup of tea!
The Emirates FA Cup is at the First Round Qualifying stage and that means a bit of history at Yockings Park in Shropshire where Whitchurch Alport host their first ever game in the competition, Leek Town the opposition for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday (7th September).
Admission prices are £6 Adults, £4 and £1. A full fixture list for the weekend is on the FA website.
Clubs from all four home nations and the Republic of Ireland are taking part in the Scottish Challenge Cup, sponsored by Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, and that throws up some interesting ties such as Kelty Hearts (of the Scottish Lowland League) hosting Solihull Moors from the National League in England.
Admission prices at New Central Park at 3pm on Saturday are £10 Adults, £5 Concessions.
Those same prices are in operation at Tannadice on Saturday (Dundee United versus Arbroath) and Sunday at Dens Park (Dundee versus Elgin City) which gives the opportunity of a double-header.
If you're a season ticket holder for a club without a match this weekend then keep an eye out locally for fixtures to go and the occasional reduced price admission offer.
Penistone Church FC of the Northern Counties East League, for instance, are offering entry at £3/£1.50 (usually £5/£3) for season ticket holders of Barnsley, Leeds United, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday.
