What is Non-League Day?​

Non-League Day was set up by James Doe in 2010 as a social media experiment, after being inspired by a pre-season trip to Devon to watch Queens Park Rangers play at Tavistock. It has now grown to become an annual part of the football calendar, backed by Premier League and Football League clubs, MPs, celebrities, media organisations, charities and most importantly the non-league clubs themselves and the fans who turn up on the day.

Always scheduled to coincide with an international break, Non-League Day provides a platform for clubs to promote the importance of affordable volunteer-led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local non-league side.

Many non-league clubs are almost exclusively volunteer run, with money taken at the turnstiles often funding thriving youth set-ups, projects and facilities which are of benefit to the whole community. The level of skill on offer at non-league grounds might not be the same as that at the Etihad Stadium or Stamford Bridge, for example, but there are other sides to the experience, from which the smaller club will always win hands down.

The vast majority of games still kick off at 3pm, ticket prices are realistic, you can often stand (and drink!) anywhere in the ground and will always be guaranteed a warm welcome by people who run their clubs for a love of the game.

Whether you’re a Premier League or Championship fan without a game, a League One or League Two supporter who can’t make an away trip, or just someone who is curious about what their local club has to offer, there is sure to be something to interest everyone.

Great post. Have had many a good afternoon watching Wokingham Town FC in the Combined Counties Prem North. Good mates with the manager. It's ÂŁ8 on the gate, rounded up to a tenner so you buy a couple of raffle tickets.

There's also a great app for the phone called Pitchero. You can follow your non-league teams there.

Wouldn't it be great if all the fans of the big clubs went to a non-league game today?

I like the atmosphere at Cray Wanderers when I've been, lots of families, fans seem like they are there to enjoy the experience and club staff are friendly and appear to be pleased to see you there, plus ex Spurs player (Neil Smith) is manager.

My Dad has been going to Cray Wanderers a lot these past couple of seasons with another couple of his Spurs pals - if he's not at Spurs he's there basically. Goes to a few of the away games too.

I went when Spurs sent a team to open the new ground - bit of an awkward place to get to unless you drive. Will probably start taking my son there when he's a little bit older

Ex Woking Neil Smith? Sure he managed Grays near me too

Yeah it is a pain if you don't drive, it's good on a nice day sitting at a table by the bar.
 
Gunter (on loan from Spurs) was again superb today, another clean sheet.

Fantastic save almost right at the death in added time after 90 mins, we then went up the other half and scored!

Stones 1 - 0 Woking
(Cesay the scorer, ex spurs youth)

Has Cesay learn to control his temper? I think I saw him sent off 3 times when he was with us.

Good win for you today.

I saw Cray when they came down to (and lost to:)) Chichester at the start of the month. I'm there pretty regularly now.

Paper Mills are a better side though ha ha.
 
Heading to Wealdstone on Tuesday night, hoping for the win as currently in the relegation spots - also hoping Gunter (on loan from Spurs) plays better than he has lately.
