It's international weekend and let's be honest, it's awful.
Fear not, Non-League Day is back for a seventh year - so why not go and give it a try this weekend?
Clubs up and down the country are opening up their doors with special offers and unique initiatives to try and get you to give your local club a go.
But what are the best games on offer on Saturday?
Mirror Football's resident non-league nerd Aaron Flanagan has the lowdown...
Clitheroe vs Colne (FA Trophy)

A local Lancashire derby, a cup game and a quaint little ground, overlooked by the town’s castle. As stereotypical of a non-league venue as you could imagine - and the pies are great.
Best thing about the club: You’ll feel like you’re watching football in the 1980s.
Non-League Day initiative: Will hold bucket collections for Evo-Stik League’s official charity partner, Sports Traider.
Corinthian-Casuals vs AFC Dunstable (FA Trophy)

Corinthian-Casuals have one of the most unique histories of any club in Britain. They even had Socrates represent them in a game against their illustrious Brazilian namesakes. Plus, how often will you watch a team wearing pink and brown halves?
Best thing about the club: History. Seriously, go there, talk to people and learn.
Non-League Day initiative: Raising money for Prostate Cancer UK through the day.
Dulwich Hamlet vs Needham Market (FA Trophy)

Without a doubt non-league’s most hipster club. Dulwich are so much more than a football team; standing up for LGBT rights, supporting local food banks and so much more. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for a different football experience, this is the place to go.
Best thing about the club: They’re different. It’s a unique experience.
Non-League Day initiative: Pay what you want admission.
Hereford vs Dorchester Town (FA Trophy)

There are plenty of former Football League clubs rooted down in the lower echelons of the pyramid. Hereford are well on their rise back to the top and still get crowds in excess of 5,000. Now supporter-owned, it’s a nice tale of turned fortunes.
Best thing about the club: A sleeping giant of a club - and huge fan base.
Non-League Day initiative: No initiative but tickets are selling out fast.
Hitchin Town vs Stratford Town (Evo-Stik Southern Premier)

One of non-league’s hidden gems. The wooden terraces that surround the ground must be a ballache to keep in tip top condition but they create one of the most evocative settings that football is played in.
Best thing about the club: The terraces. See above. Phwoar.
Non-League Day initiative: Pay what you want admission. Free club water bottle to first 200 youngsters through turnstile.
Mossley vs Skelmersdale United (FA Trophy)

If the sun’s out, there might not be a better place to watch football. A proper traditional football ground with stunning views across the pennines. Wherever you stand at Seel Park, you’ve got a good view. (Picture courtesy of Harry Taylor )
Best thing about the club: The views.
Non-League Day initiative: Discounted admission for Manchester City, Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic season ticker holders.
Scarborough Athletic vs South Shields (FA Trophy)

Boro have only recently moved into their new Flamingo Land Stadium (yes, that’s the real name) and it has breathed life into the club. They take on one of non-league’s most ambitious sides. Expect a large crowd in a tight venue (although all tickets are pay on the game) and a game between two evenly matched sides.
Best thing about the club: Huge crowd in the venue should be pretty intense.
Non-League Day initiative: Like Clitheroe, will be raising money for Evo-Stik League’s official charity partner, Sports Traider.
Stourbridge vs Halesowen Town (Evo-Stik Northern Premier)

Probably the pick of the action on Saturday. As far as rivalries go, this is probably the most fierce derby clash taking place on Non-League Day. Stour’s Memorial Ground might only have three sides (due to sharing with the local cricket club) but it remains one of the most atmospheric in the country.
Best thing about the club: Community feel and friendly welcome.
Non-League Day initiative: None… but it is only a tenner for adults!
York City vs Brackley Town (National League North)

It’s safe to say that York are too big of a side to be playing in the National League North. Despite the lowly status, Bootham Crescent is still one of the best grounds around. In York and Brackley are two promotion contenders.
Best thing about the club: Great ground in a stunning city.
Non-League Day initiative: None :(
