Food, drink and football on offer at two non-league grounds this coming Saturday, 4th December.

AFC Darwen were formed in 2009 after the demise of Darwen FC, continuing the fine tradition of football in the Lancashire town, and all those involved have steadily grown the club into a key part of the local community.

Their home game against St Helens Town on Saturday is Pie and a Pint day with your £6 adult admission including a pie and a beer (£3 concessions with a free pie and £1 for children).

And Rossington Main have this...

Let The Train Take The Strain

Train standing at a railway station

A nice story from the South West Peninsula Football League where Okehampton Argyle take on Brixham AFC on Saturday 4th December at 2.15pm.

That kick-off time fits in nicely with the 12.37 train from Exeter St Davids to Okehampton where it arrives at 1.15.

The significance of the journey is that the train line to Okehampton has recently re-opened after nearly 50 years.

Transport is being laid on from the station to the ground (and back) and your £6 admission fee to the game (plus the cost of a rail ticket) also includes a special commemorative programme.

More details, including how to register your interest, are on the SWP website.

The Positive Portman Road Piece

A fresh start at Ipswich Town this season with the famous old club under new ownership and lots of good things going on at Portman Road

A three-game bundle of tickets for matches over the holiday period (starting with the Sunderland visit on 18th December) is on sale, priced at £40 for adults and from £3 to £20 for concessions.

Individual tickets for each of the three games have been reduced in price and supporters have also been raising money to buy bundles for those not in a position to do so themselves, £12,500 having been raised as of Friday.

Tickets have also been reduced in price for the FA Cup tie against Barrow on 4th December, to £10 for adults, £5 and £3 for concessions.

An Unofficial Non League Day

The logistics of co-ordinating Non League Day against the backdrop of the pandemic means this season's NLD will take place later than usual on the 26 March 2022.

But, judging by the number of clubs reporting fantastic crowds on Saturday, for every tweet that you might see from someone who 'hates' the international break, many more people were out on a beautiful autumn day watching a match.

Close to me there were over 650 at Hallam FC and over 400 at Penistone but the turnstiles were clicking across the country.

Coming up this week are FA Cup replays (no more than £10 at Plymouth Argyle for the Sheffield Wednesday tie), Family Fun Day at MK Dons on Saturday with adult tickets available from £10, some interesting FA Youth Cup ties and the next round of the FA Vase while in Scotland it is the next round of the South Challenge Cup.

A Big Night at Butlin Road

A big achievement for the youngsters of Rugby Town FC to make it to the Second Round of the FA Youth Cup and a home tie against the Under-18's of League One club Morecambe.

Admission at Butlin Road, a second home for me as a youngster when the Sky Blues were away, for a 7pm kick-off on Wednesday 17th, is priced at £3 for adults, £2 concessions and free for Under-16's.

Footage of the celebrations that followed Aylestone Park FC as they defeated Lincoln City on penalties has been widely shared on social media and the second round sees the club host Sheffield Wednesday, also on the 17th but with kick-off at 7.45pm.

Admission to this one is priced at £5 adults and £3 concessions.
