3UP Day of Action | Today’s the day!

If you’re heading to a game today, you will see the 3UP Day of Action in full effect.

Symbolically, our games are kicking off three minutes later than usual – at 3.03pm. A talking point that has put out 3UP campaign into the conversation.

National League member clubs are right behind the principle of a third promotion place... you’ll see that in evidence at your match.

The campaign isn’t just about today. It’s about the past 23 years, when we finally got a second promotion place to the Football League. And it’s about what comes next.

For the past few weeks, we’ve been making our case – with stats, statements, and stories.
