NATIONAL NON-LEAGUE DAY AT THE SNOWS STADIUM

TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL NON-LEAGUE DAY, we are charging just £5.00 entry into today's AFC Totton vs Larkhall Athletic Southern League Div.1 South match upon production of a valid Southampton FC, AFC Bournemouth, Portsmouth FC or Eastleigh FC season ticket, or and Emergency Services or Military ID Card.

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 AFC.

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 footballing ability 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. So, 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.

Non-League Day 2023 will be run in association with the Our Game Community Scheme and in conjunction with Prostate Cancer UK.

AFC Totton vs Larkhall Athletic will kick-off at 3:00pm on Saturday 25 March 2023 - read our Match Preview.
