Arbour Park is the place to be on Saturday for a meeting of two of the top three in National League South, as Slough Town host Hemel Hempstead Town (3pm kickoff).
Both sides have made a fantastic start to the season, each winning five of their opening seven games, with visitors Hemel Hempstead yet to taste defeat.
With the international break meaning there are no Premier League or EFL Championship fixtures, it’s also an opportunity for more people to experience the non-league game. We recommend that tickets are purchased online in advance to reduce queueing times at the turnstiles on the day.
If this is your first visit to Arbour Park, or you’re unfamiliar with the ground, we’ve prepared a handy guide – click here to read.
Getting to Arbour Park
You can find directions to Arbour Park, including parking information, here.
Please note that there is no parking at Arbour Park for spectators – this is for players and officials only. Parking will be available at Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy – please follow the directions of our parking stewards. The St Joseph’s School car park is available for permit holders and as an overflow car park.
Admission & tickets
Standard matchday ticket prices are discounted when purchased online, except for tickets for under 13s, which are £1 both online and at the turnstiles. Click here to purchase tickets.
Supporters with memberships (season tickets) and match tickets bought in advance should enter at turnstile 4 (southwest corner). Supporters paying on the day by cash or card should enter at turnstile 1 (northwest corner). All turnstiles will open at 1.30pm. Our matchday admission prices can be found here.
Memberships and match tickets are digital as the default offering, with each member and ticket holder having a unique QR code which can be accessed from their Fanbase account, and in the confirmation email in the case of individual match tickets. This QR code will need to be scanned at the turnstiles. Members who opted to receive a printed season ticket card can present this for scanning. Another option for members and ticket holders is to print off their QR code and present this for scanning, if a smartphone is not available.
Food & drink
We will welcome back Funky Elephant on Saturday, with their Caribbean Fusion street food, including jerk chicken, curry goat and more!
The bar and kitchen area on the first floor of the main stand will be open as usual. The area formerly used as a tea bar on the ground floor of the main stand is closed due to the ongoing development work on the new bar. However, there will be an outdoor bar on the west side of the ground, next to the main stand.
Entertainment
There will be live music from Utter Madness on Saturday – join us for Madness and Ska classics performed by two members of the first and best tribute band to Madness. Utter Madness will start at around 5.15pm and will play two 50 minute sets with a break in between.
That’s not all - Man v Fat Slough are playing their first league match against Gosport Reserves on Saturday after the first team game. They will kick off at 7.30pm after the band has finished, with the bar remaining open.
Seating
Many of the seats in the main stand and Berkeley Community Stand are reserved for those supporters with reserved seating. All other seating is unreserved and available on a first come, first served basis.
Arbour Park ground regulations
We would like to remind all supporters of the Arbour Park ground regulations and emphasise that anti-social or discriminatory behaviour of any nature will not be tolerated. Such behaviour will result in ejection from the ground. The club may impose a ban on any individual found to have committed such an offence. The ground regulations can be found here.
