GUISELEY AFC have announced the following offers for this year’s Non-League Day on Saturday 23 March as they host Ilkeston Town in a 3pm kick-off at Nethermoor.
Premier League and EFL Season Ticket Holders have access to the game at just £5 per person on production of a valid season ticket.
Local organisations involved in junior sport or education can also claim their vouchers admitting one adult and one Under 11 for £5 – to apply please email accounts@guiseleyafc.co.uk
The reverse fixture in November 2023 saw Guiseley take all three points, winning 4-1 away from home in one of their more impressive away performances of the season. The Lions will be looking to continue their strong form in their attempts to secure a play-off position, whilst Ilkeston will be hoping to settle the score from the reverse fixture. For the neutral spectator, it should be an entertaining game with both sides averaging just under two goals per game.
Not forgetting of course, you can enjoy a pint whilst watching the game, and Guiseley's legendary pie.
Whether you’re a Premier League or Championship fan without a game, a League One or League Two supporter who can’t make an away trip, or just someone who is curious about what Guiseley has to offer, there is sure to be something to interest everyone.

Background about 'Non-League Day'
Non-League Day was set up by James Doe in 2010 as a social media experiment, after being inspired by a pre-season trip to Devon to watch Queens Park Rangers play at Tavistock. It has now grown to become an annual part of the football calendar, 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.
Always scheduled to coincide with an international break, Non-League Day provides a platform for clubs to promote the importance of affordable volunteer led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local non-league side.
Many non-league clubs are almost exclusively volunteer run, with money taken at the turnstiles often funding thriving youth set-ups, projects and facilities which are of benefit to the whole community. The level of skill on offer at non-league grounds will never compare to that at the Emirates Stadium or Old Trafford, for example, but there are other sides to the experience, from which the smaller club will always win hands down. The vast majority of games still kick off at 3pm, ticket prices are realistic, you can often stand (and drink) anywhere in the ground and will always be guaranteed a warm welcome by people who run their clubs for a love of the game.
