Pick of the Week

A little more detail on some of the posts on @AffordableFooty over the past week.

Although there is disappointment that supporters are not set to be allowed to watch grassroots football after the next stage in lockdown easing, from 29th March, clubs are moving ahead with plans for friendlies and mini-tournaments.

Seaford Town FC, for instance, are looking forward to their matches in the Southern Combination Football League Supplementary Shield, with live streaming , costing £5 (free fir season ticket holders) in place for fixtures on the 10th, 13th and 17th April.

Excitement is also building for the return of the Women's FA Cup with Second Round ties scheduled for Sunday 4th April.

Crawley Wasps host Gillingham on that day and a live stream is available for £5 while Billericay Town's tie against Ipswich is live on the hosts' You Tube channel.

As good as it to see competitive action coming back, it is also great to see initiatives such as Mental Health Football in Oldham making its return and offering the benefits of a no-pressure, no-expectation kickabout every Friday.

#ComeBackStronger is the aim for Farnham Town as they raise funds for improvements aimed at forging a stronger community bond and  creating a better matchday experience.

And, as someone with keen interest in the Highland League it is hard to argue with this tweet about the toppling of Scottish Championship leaders Hearts earlier this week.
