Why not watch one of the local non-league sides this weekend?

England are playing San Marino on Friday 12th October, so there are no Premier League or Championship fixtures this weekend. But there’s no need for a wasted Saturday – get involved in Non-League Day 2012!

Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler – who is first-team coach at Kingstonian in the Ryman League – is an ambassador for Non-League Day this year.

Hundreds of non-league clubs across the country – including plenty here in Cambridgeshire – are kicking off at the usual time of 3pm on Saturday 13th October, and lots are getting involved with the event by offering cut-price tickets, holding community days, ground-hops and other innovative ways of sharing in the spirit of Non-League Day.

Many local clubs are run solely by volunteers and rely heavily on support from the community for their survival. Just down the road from London Road, Yaxley are hosting AFC Rushden & Diamonds, Quorn are visiting Deeping Rangers and Stamford play host to Halesowen Town – just to name a few!

Non-League Day founder James Doe says: 'It’s great to see so many people getting behind the clubs in their community. So many people put so much time and effort into keeping these clubs and their facilities alive. I’d encourage all Posh fans to take advantage of the free weekend to see some more action that’s taking place on your doorstep.'
