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.

To celebrate, at Hoddesdon Town FC we are allowing you to 'Pay What You Want' to enter the ground on Saturday and watch the first team game!! Couple of quid? A fiver? One pound? It's up to you!! Enjoy the game at YOUR prices!!

Kick off is 3pm and we are inviting EVERYBODY to come and join us and celebrate the fun that is non league football.

Following the game, join us in the clubhouse for a fantastic Karaoke Night hosted by DJ JD from 7pm til late. The evening promises great music, plenty of laughs, and a chance to showcase your singing skills. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just in it for fun, everyone is welcome to take the mic.

With a fully stocked bar and a lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to round off the matchday at Lowfield. Gather your friends and make a night of it.

For Non League Day, we've got you covered!

See you there!
