There are fears that amateur football clubs are closing at an unprecedented rate.

We hear fears that amateur football clubs are closing at an unprecedented rate because they can't afford to keep going.

We investigate grass roots football as there are fears that amateur football clubs are closing at an unprecedented rate because they can't afford to keep going.  The FA says it's doing what it can to support the amateur game - pledging £260m over the next four years to create 30 footballing 'hubs' in cities around the UK.  We take a look at a new government scheme which it hopes will see millions of low-paid workers who put aside savings could receive a top-up of up to £1,200 over four years.  Adrian speaks to the original Top Gear Stig, Perry McCarthy, after Chris Evans apologises for a Top Gear stunt which was filmed near a London war memorial over the weekend.  And Martin Lewis is here to answer your consumer questions.
