If none of those take your fancy, there are plenty of other games to choose from across the non-league pyramid, as well as down in the Leicestershire Senior League. Here’s your pick of games from Step 3-6 for tomorrow. Happy #NonLeagueDay, wherever you go!

In the same league, Shepshed Dynamo are also still within a chance of making the play-offs. They’re also on course to beat the club’s record points tally at Step 4, which was 63 back in the 98/99 Southern League season.

Nomads will be hoping that Loughborough Students can do them a favour, as they take on top of the table Carlton tomorrow. The Scholars themselves are in a relegation battle fighting to stay at Step 4. #NonLeagueDay

At Step 4 and aiming for promotion is Anstey Nomads, managed by former City goalkeeper Conrad Logan. They moved to within 5 points of the league leaders Carlton by beating them 6-0 (!) midweek, as they aim for top spot having suffered play-off heartbreak in the past two seasons.

At the bottom of the league, Barwell are fighting for their lives as they look to avoid relegation from Step 3, where they’ve been since the 2011/12 season. This weekend’s game is the first since manager Jimmy Ginnelly stepped down yesterday. #NonLeagueDay

And in fact, we could actually have two clubs playing at Step 2 next season with Quorn still in the play off positions. Incredibly, they’re aiming for back to back promotions and a third in four seasons, having been down at Step 5 as recently as 22/23! #NonLeagueDay

If Harborough Town get promoted this season, they’ll be the first Leicestershire club at Step 2 of Non-League since 2013 (Hinckley United). If City are relegated to League One, there will be just 3 promotions between the two clubs. In 2021/22, there were EIGHT. #NonLeagueDay

Ahead of #NonLeagueDay tomorrow, here’s a little round up of what some of our local Leicestershire clubs have to play for this weekend and for the rest of the season. There is plenty going on and well worth seeking out a game on Saturday! 🧵👇

I will also use his win to shamelessly plug my Films of 2025 blog where I talked up his incredible performance! Read it here if you’re interested: jackraff91.wordpress.com/2026/01/07/m...

Why does the poster for the new Wuthering Heights film have the title in quote marks? Implying it’s not actually Wuthering Heights, but a film just claiming to be. Are we meant to do the ironic air quote fingers when we say ‘I’m going to see “Wuthering Heights”’, like it’s not true? I need answers.

The annual trip to the club shop is starting to get more and more expensive, but if the nephew is being forced into a life of being a Leicester fan, it’s only fair that the niece is too! 🦊

Today is 10 years since I left my old office job to have a go at a radio career, having been offered just 6 freelance shifts initially. Turns out it was the best decision I’ve ever made and now I’ve got my literal dream job that I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. I feel very lucky.

At the Phoenix in Leicester tonight to see one of my favourite films, Donnie Darko, on the big screen for the first time. I cannot wait! Part of DMU’s Cine-Misfits film festival and chosen by their film studies students, so big up to them. Such a cool course. Support local independent cinema!

Interesting quotes from Van Nistelrooy today, who was keen to discuss some of the youngsters at the club. Jeremy Monga, Henry Cartwright and ‘young JJ’ Jayden Joseph have all been training with the squad. Cartwright was mentioned a couple of times as a midfield option… #LCFC 🦊
