So, with all teams in the Premier League and Championship not playing due to the international break, how are you getting YOUR football fix today?

I work for two football clubs miles apart from each other in the pyramid so today, I'll see the lower placed side. I'm off to Hythe & Dibden v Oldland Abbotonians in the FA Vase today. Both sides have had poor starts to their league seasons but won their last match so maybe form has turned.

Come on the O's.

I play for a team in the same league as Hythe & Dibden so also have the FA Vase today.

Terrible ground, hope your players are fit, pitch has a "slight" slope!

Good luck!

It is a funny ground, trees coming into play behind the goals and down one touchline. Think they're planning on moving soon...

Lost 3-2. Scored in the 2nd and 87th minutes, but conceded three in between.

I love the non league game.

I've moved around a bit over the years and follow the fortunes of;

St Albans City
Barnet
Kettering Town
Hinckley United
Market Harborough Town
Wealdstone
Shepshed Dynamo

Think I've seen Yeovil Town play four of those (St Albans, Barnet, Kettering and Wealdstone).

Loved so much about today that seems to have gone missing from a lot of the modern game.

First went to a St Albans game when they played Stevenage in the FA Cup 20 years ago at Clarence Park, there were 2,000 people there that night.

The first a barnet game went to was in 1989 against Stafford Rangers who had a S Collymore up front, I've got the programme for that one somewhere.

Kettering Town, I lived in Kettering for a while, never a dull club. During my time there Ron Atkinson and Paul Gascoigne managed the club. Sadly, they were wound up in the high court earlier this week and are fighting to survive but did win against Aylesbury 4-3 today.

Wealdstone, I started watching them when they moved to Vicarage Road, they original ground is a Tescos now.

Went to Rotherham to watch the Blades get hammered. Looks like we'll get relegated!
