The Rebels make their third successive away trip out of six this Saturday as they head to Hemel Hempstead Town to continue their National League South campaign. The Tudors have made a good start to the new campaign, picking up 7 points from their first three matches.
The Ground
The Adeyfield School End to the west is a fair-sized covered terrace, which is raised above pitch level. Opposite at the other end is the CRK Windows Stand. This was once a similar-looking terrace to the Adeyfield School End, but in 2015 the terrace was replaced with seating, comprising 180 red seats in five rows. Both stands have nets on their roofs to stop stray balls from going out of the ground.
On the Tenzing Road side, there is a small covered seated stand that sits astride the halfway line. It has five rows of seats and has a capacity of around 292. There are flat standing areas to either side.
The opposite (south) side is largely open apart from a very small simple covered stand that is used by directors and press. It has 62 seats. The team dugouts are also on this South side, but unusually one is located on each side of the stand. The clubhouse and entrance to the dressing rooms are also on this side towards the East End. The ground is completed with a set of four modern floodlight pylons.

Travel & Parking
By Road: Leave the M1 at Junction 8 and take the A414 towards Hemel Hempstead. Go straight across two roundabouts and then just after passing a large Travelodge Building on your right (where there is also a Toby Carvery) move over to the right hand filter lane to turn right across the dual carriageway into Leverstock Green Road. Continue straight along this road then immediately after crossing a mini roundabout, turn left into Vauxhall Road. Then turn right at the next roundabout for the ground entrance.
There is a small car park at Vauxhall Road and supporters can park for a fee of £5 per car (season ticket holders and boardroom guest are free). Vauxhall Road is a busy residential street and like the car park, the whole area fills up quick. Attempts should be made to park away from the area to ease congestion; if you do park locally then please do so with consideration and respect for our residential neighbours.
By Rail: Hemel Hempstead Railway Station is located just over two and a half miles away from the ground and is a bit far to walk. There is a taxi rank outside the station and at the club itself (in the car park) is an office of a local taxi firm (Millennium Taxis) who can organise a car back to the station after the game has ended. The station is served by trains from London Euston. Alternatively, you can catch an Arriva Bus, see the Arriva website for timetables.
Ground Facilities & Pubs
There is a clubhouse bar inside the ground, called the Tudor Tavern, which welcomes all fans. It shows TNT and Sky Sports on a number of screens.

- Crabtree Pub – 2 Leverstock Green Road, HP2 4HG
