Parking
Free parking for 500 cars is available at Fairlands Valley car park, to the north of the ground. Parking is also available in nearby residential streets but we ask fans to be considerate with their parking and not to block driveways and cause inconvenience for local residents

Please do not park on the grass verges alongside the A602 as your vehicle is likely to be ticketed by the local authorities.

Please also do not park in the adjacent Roaring Meg retail park. Parking is restricted to 90 minutes on a match day, which come in to effect two hours before kick-off. Anyone exceeding this time limit could face a £100 fine. More recently a new trial has been announced which allows free match parking at Roaring Meg for midweek games, however this does not apply for weekend and Bank Holiday fixtures.


 

Pre-Match Food & Drink
The Broadhall Suite will be open to home and away fans and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy bar snacks, food and drink on a match day. Located in the south-east corner of the ground, just past the away turnstiles, it's easily accessible for all supporters. Doors open at midday and fans can also enjoy the early Premier League game on BT Sport between Southampton and Tottenham from 12.45pm.

Boditrax in the Broadhall Suite
Stevenage Foundation has partnered up with Boditrax as part of its new health and well-being initiative. Boditrax is a non-evasive system that allows you to understand and track your body composition.
The Foundation will have been measuring the BMI, bone density and muscular definition of mums and dads at its Junior Kickers sessions on Saturday morning and we will be doing the same with fans in the Broadhall Suite before this game. Every person that participates will be entered in to a prize draw to win a signed away shirt at half-time. To find out more about Boditrax, please visit www.Boditrax.com.

Annual Supporters Association Awards
The annual awards will be taking place in the Broadhall Suite from approximately 5.45-6pm on Saturday, depending on the arrival of the first team management and players. Stevenage FC Foundation will show their latest Gambia DVD from 5.30pm and then free food will be available from 6.45pm for fans.

The Corner Bar
Fans in both the North and East Terraces can enjoy a drink inside the ground at the  Corner Bar located in the north-east corner of the ground. The bar opens at the same time as the turnstiles and sells Carlsberg, London Pride, San Miguel, Kopparberg, wine, WKD and water (larger water bottles than the tea bars).

Weather
Unlike the past week, the current forecast suggests a relatively cloudy day for Stevenage. The temperature at 3pm is expected to be around 16 degrees.
