Trafford FC is proud to stand alongside clubs across the country in supporting the National League’s “3UP” Day of Action, an initiative backed by the Trident Leagues, the Northern Premier League, Isthmian League, and Southern League.
The campaign calls for the introduction of a third promotion place from the National League system into the English Football League (EFL), ensuring that success on the pitch is rewarded and ambition throughout non-league football is recognised.
Currently, only two clubs are promoted each season, and the “3UP” campaign seeks to make that three, aligning non-league football more fairly with the structure of higher divisions.
What Is the ‘3UP’ Day of Action?
On Saturday, 15th November, clubs across the country will join together to mark the “3UP” Day of Action by adjusting all kick-off times to 3:03 pm, a symbolic gesture highlighting the campaign’s central message. This Saturday’s game against Vauxhall Motors will ko at 3:03 inline with the campaign.
The initiative has already received widespread backing from all 72 National League clubs, as well as growing support from fans, players, and communities across the football pyramid.
Trafford FC Shows OUR Support
At Trafford FC, we’re proud to add our voice to this important movement. We believe that introducing a third promotion spot will:
- Create greater opportunity for ambitious clubs to progress,
- Strengthen competition and fairness, and
- Inspire communities and players who strive for success every season.
Our club is built on hard work, community spirit, and ambition — values that perfectly align with the 3UP campaign.
Get Involved
We encourage our supporters to learn more about the 3UP initiative and help spread the message. By standing together, clubs like Trafford FC can help shape a fairer and more open pathway for non-league football. Let’s make sure the game continues to reward those who earn it — on and off the pitch.
