South Western Railway (SWR) encouraged people to take advantage of the international football break by attending their Non-League fixtures instead.
The day was created in 2010 by one of their SWR train guards, James Doe, with the goal of promoting grassroots and community football clubs.
Non-League Day champions community spirit by highlighting the importance of lower-tier football clubs that develop talent and sustain the sport through higher leagues
Dorchester Transport Action Group supported their initiative and on our Facebook page we suggested people might like to consider taking the train to Dorchester to visit non-league Dorchester Town which was playing Marlow at home on 22nd March.
