It’s almost time for the road to Wembley to begin and ironically we will not be passing far from the Arch to get to Vauxhall Road, the home of Hemel Hempstead Town in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.
We have obviously been there before on the opening day of the 2023-24 National League South season, an match we would all rather forget, so hopefully this visit will prove more enjoyable.
Pricing for tickets is simple, no differentiation between seating and standing. They are available to buy now – here.
Adults: £17.00
Concessions (65+, Students, Military Emergency Services): £12.00
Under 18s: £7.00
Identification is required for any concessionary rates. For Under 18s, the following forms of identifications are acceptable: Current Passport, EU National ID Card, Current Full UK Driving Licence, Student Identification Card (or ISIC), UK Armed Forces ID Card, OAP Travel Pass.
Hemel also point out that “racial, homophobic, sexist or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden and will result in arrest and/or ejection from the ground” – and no starting fights with your own supporters either, okay?
There is presently no information available as to whether Vauxhall Road will be segregated, but we are likely to be given the Adeyfield School End of the stadium as we were in 2023. It is a fair sized terrace which is raised above (plastic) pitch level to give you a good view – which will hopefully be a good thing this time. There are no details as to what provision and where has been made for any away fans who might have difficulty standing for a whole match but it is implied where will be some.
Turnstiles for this terrace are to the left as approach via the entrance to the ground with the main (now home) turnstiles in front of you, across the small carpark towards an astro training pitch.
Disabled
There’s nothing I can find on the website about disabled provision. From memory, only having been to this ground three times across about 30 years, a couple of areas will be accessible to wheelchair users and think recall a ramp that allows entry to the club house.
