Non-league team struggling to get people in for matches?

Here's one way you can attract more fans.

Leek Town FC, based in Staffordshire, currently sit eighth in the Northern Premier League Division One South - in the eighth tier of English football.

And they've come up with a clever way to get more fans interested - using famous movie posters and album covers to help advertise their upcoming matches.

It's all thanks to Paul Buxton, a Leek Town fan who mocks up the posters based on suggestions from the club's chairman, Jon Eeles.

He says that the posters helped increase attendance by about 12% last season - their current average this season is around 270 people per game.

And the team even bases its match day playlist on the band whose album they've used.

Here are some of our favourites.
