The Rebels will be looking to pick up from where they left off when they head to Clarence Park after last Saturday’s remarkable comeback to win 4-3 at Weston-super-Mare. St Albans, meanwhile, fell to a late defeat at home to Maidstone United in their season opener and will be looking to get their first points on the board this weekend.

The Ground

Please note that Clarence Park is a cashless stadium.

The ground is largely open with terracing on three sides of the ground. On one side is the old Main Stand that was originally built in 1922. This small wooden stand has six rows of seating that sit behind a large number of supporting pillars running across the front of the stand. The stand is set well back from the playing area and there are also the bases of two floodlight pylons sitting between the stand and the pitch.

There is a slope on the pitch that runs up from the Clarence Park End up to the York Road End and you can see how the Main Stand has been built in sections, each raised a bit higher, to climb up the slope. Part of the Main Stand towards the Clarence Park End has been converted into a Director’s Lounge. Behind the stand, the large brick building which is visible is the Club House.

Opposite the Main Stand is the East Terrace perhaps better known as the Cricket Pitch Side. This largely open terrace does have a small covering in the middle. The low roof does provide excellent protection from the weather.

Both ends are small open terraces. There is a small Club Shop situated inside the ground, next to the York Road Terrace. A set of four small floodlights, run down each side of the pitch.
