FF News Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's clubs were told they could run whatever offers and incentives they liked for fans on Non-League Day 2015 to encourage participation. With the vast majority of the league's clubs taking part again in the nationwide celebration of Non-League for the sixth season running, EVO-STIK NPL secretary Angie Firth wrote to clubs this week to tell them they had the full backing of the league to dispense with the normal protocols governing pricing for fixtures. The NPL's clubs are allowed three promotional match days every season and with only a few exceptions, clubs playing in FA Cup and league games are offering free or heavily discounted admission to season ticket holders of Premier League and Football League clubs as well other groups led by members of the armed forces and emergency services. As a result, thousands of new fans around the country are expected to visit their local clubs for the first time this weekend with no games in the top divisions. Following last year’s record-breaking event to promote football outside the professional game during the international break, Scottish Non-League clubs are also taking part for the first time. Launched in 2010 as a social media experiment, NLD offers clubs a chance to promote themselves by running free or discounted entry to season tickets holders and others with the weekend off from following Football League and Premier League clubs. Nationwide, NLD 2015 is raising funds and awareness for Prostrate Cancer UK again this season. 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.
