Run-in to Non-League Day underway!

Following last year’s record-breaking event to promote football outside the professional game, Non-League Day 2015 is returning on Saturday 10 October with Scottish Non-League clubs taking part for the first time ever.

Clubs have had longer to prepare this time around with the annual nationwide promotion pencilled in to coincide with the second international break of the season, England at home to Estonia on Friday 9 October and away to Lithuania three days later in their final Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Launched in 2010 as a social media experiment to give Non-League clubs a chance to promote themselves by running free or discounted entry to season tickets holders and others with the weekend off following Football League and Premier League clubs, NLD 2015 is raising funds and awareness for Prostrate Cancer UK again this season.

As well as the individual fundraising efforts planned at the hundreds of clubs set to take part, a range of NLD 2015 t-shirts are also on sale on the event’s website with 15 per cent of the proceeds going to the charity.

This year, PCUK are asking clubs and fans to ‘pledge their allegiance’ to Non-League football and Men United. The pledge can be financial or promotional, from holding a bucket collection to tweeting photos of support.

NLD’s organisers are also renewing their annual link-up with Kick It Out with four showpiece promotional games promoting equality and challenging discrimination at all levels of the game.
