To clear a smidgen of time in my diary and generally take a bit of breather, I've decided to combine the next two weeks together so you can plan your football watching that bit further ahead over the holiday period.
Weather permitting, the amount, status and (hopefully) quality of games on offer over the next week or two is outstanding!
The Easter weekend itself is jam packed with matches on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.
The latter, in many ways, is the highlight with groundhop 'triples' possible on the south and west sides of town thanks to the Combined Counties League putting on their games at 1130am, Fulham hosting QPR at 8pm and the Middlesex Senior Cup final also an evening kick-off.
I think my ideal combo would see me take in Hanworth Villa v Bedfont Sports in the morning, Wealdstone v Harrow Borough in the afternoon and Fulham v QPR in the evening. Derbies galore!
Like the Christmas period, the coming weekend is all about the derbies. Particularly so at non-league level where virtually all the big local rivals are playing each other at some point.
To make matches easier to find I've produced three different maps this week with one specifically for the four days of the Easter weekend.
Given there are so many great matches coming up, the TLFG Top 10 will be expanded this week and made into a 'Top Tips' section so more can be squeezed in. I will no doubt still miss out a few so do add your own in the comments section below.
Also keep the correspondence coming, I enjoy answering your questions and offering advice if I can.
You can contact TLFG through the comments section below or via Facebook or Twitter.

Outside the Premier League, Watford have reduced prices for their upcoming Championship game against Burnley on Good Friday 29 March at 3pm.
Watching some of the capital's top youth sides in action often provides excellent value for money.
Arsenal have been drawn at home to CSKA Moscow in the latest round of the NextGen Series for U19s.
The match is of such importance that the Gunners have decided to play it at the Emirates Stadium. It takes place on Monday 25 March at 7pm and costs only £4 for adults and £2 for U16s.
Arsenal's ground is one of the best in Europe and with tickets usually at least 10 times more than this, you should pop along if you've never been before.
If you're aware of any deals taking place at clubs near you please let me know so I can help to promote them.
Over the next two weeks there are well over 200 matches taking place in the London area so there's plenty to choose from. We've got London derbies, top of the table clashes, relegation 'six-pointers', two cup finals and an international friendly as well.
Details on all of them can be found in the following match maps. If you've never used them before, please note that when there is more than one match at a specific ground you'll only be able to see individual match pins if you zoom right in. If you don't, the pins obscure each other and you might miss them. To avoid this, you can also scroll down the list of games on the left side of the map page to make sure you get all the information.

Bad weather may cause a few postponements as the weeks progress so, as always, check with clubs before you travel. If games do get called off, they can sometimes be rearranged for later the same week or the week after so extra matches may get added. Please let me know if any of the details are wrong or missing.
Next up is this week's TLFG match recommendations where I list a few games which I think could be worth a watch - because there are so many I'll only go into brief detail.
