[Archived] Non-League Day........... this Saturday

[Charlie Magpie]

Established three years ago, Non-League Day has now grown to become an annual part of the football calendar, and for the first time Chorley FC have a home fixture as they host Stafford Rangers at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium.

Always scheduled to coincide with an international break, Non-League Day gives fans of football league clubs the chance to see what's going on at a club that is on their doorstep which they may be unfamiliar with or not even know exists!

By spreading the word and promoting Non-League Day, members of Chorley FC are hoping that supporters of Blackburn Rovers will turn up at Victory Park on Saturday, 7th September and experience the passion and enthusiasm of both players and volunteers involve in the non-league game. As an additional incentive, Chorley FC will be admitting Rovers season ticket holders for only £5.00 on the production of a current season ticket at the turnstile.

As Chorley FC celebrates its 130th year, it is the traditional values and sense of belonging that makes non-league football so appealing to supporters. Admission prices are realistic, you can often stand anywhere in the ground and you are guaranteed a warm welcome from fellow supporters and the willing volunteers who run the club. The Victory Park social club provides a wide range of beers in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and Sky Sports provides further entertainment before and after the game.

Non-League Day provides the perfect opportunity for local people to support their town team, to meet old and new friends and to ensure that grassroots football in Chorley survives for at least another 130 years.

The first 150 pints of Carlsberg in the clubhouse are available at the special price of £1-50 a pint!!

Hope you get a good turnout... I went along to a game last season and thoroughly enjoyed it.

A fantastic crowd of 896 saw the Magpies completely dominate Stafford and win 3-0.

Thanks to the 60+ Rovers season ticket holders who came through the Victory Park turnstiles on Saturday.

Good luck at Burnley next week!!
