Glossop North End - the club have announced that entry to the game against St Helens Twon at Surrey Street on Monday 30th March will be just £1.
Chairman Dave Atkinson said: "It has been an incredible season for fans of The Hillmen so far, with results meaning progress to the semi finals of four cup competitions and a strong challenge for the league title.
"In the latter there are still a lot of games to play, and our home and away supporters are committing more cash than they ordinarily might.
"Therefore, for our home game with St Helens on Monday 30th March entrance to the game will be just £1 for every spectator. I hope that this is a way we can reward our most loyal supporters for a their amazing backing, and perhaps tempt a few people to back to the ground to watch our terrific team".
St Helens Town – four members of the club’s North West Youth Alliance Under 18s team – Jordan Wynne (captain), Dominic Wallis, Mikey Coburn and John Fortes – were selected for the Liverpool County FA team for their fixture on Sunday 15th March.
