October the 12th, non-league day. What was originally setup as a social media experiment by James Doe in 2010 meaning this is the 10th anniversary of it being setup.
His inspiration for the day was brought about by a pre-season trip to Devon to watch Queens Park Rangers play at Tavistock.
Now, non-League day is 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.
The BBC have got a celebration of the day in a few photos on their website.
Today, on non-league day, Ramsbottom United take on Colne in the FA Trophy in Ramsbottom. Kick off is at 3pm. The weather looks pretty decent too. Go on, why not ⚽ 😉
There are other matches that take place in the football calendar, and the non-league website has them listed here, you know, just in case Ramsbottom United are away or something.
