Pick of the Week

A little more detail on some of the things I've retweeted on @AffordableFooty over the past few days. 

With supporters not able to watch the Continental Cup Final on March 14, Chelsea Women Supporters Group have produced a virtual ticket for their game against Bristol City

Costing from £5 it offers entry into a prize draw while raising money for two charities.

Frome Town chairman Derek Graham has written an excellent piece for his club's website, updating on all aspects of the club and highlighting just how difficult things have been financially in the absence of spectators and income from functions and events.

Looking forward, season tickets for 2020/21 are being rolled over the next campaign and a pre-season friendly has already been arranged, against Bath City on July 16.

Before then, lots of clubs are arranging mini-tournaments for when restrictions ease, witu most league seasons having been curtailed.

Clitheroe FC are one such with eight clubs joining their Spring Festival. Two games a day will be played on the last three weekends in April with a final on Sunday 1 May.

At present, spectators cannot attend but the matches will be streamed.

Bishops Cleeve FC, meanwhile, are progressing nicely with their fundraising attempts to build a new community sports hub. 

England manager Gareth Southgate is among those to have backed the efforts and there are some great rewards on offer to those donating.

And, with the Cymru Premier making its return this weekend, here's a cracking shot of a ground with a very striking backdrop.
