For their previous game with Bromsgrove, Welwyn made match tickets available to purchase online via their website. Our visit will probably not have such an anticipated crowd, so even if they are available, buying online ahead of time may not be needed.
Welwyn‘s current form sees them sitting in a similar league position as ourselves, which is great considering it is their first season at this level and have had some adjusting to do. Their recent run of five straight defeats see them sitting very low in the form table, with just one point from six outings
According to Wikipedia; Ossie Ardiles officially unveiled some ground improvement works in November 2017, including two new stands and the turnstiles from the old White Hart Lane.
Kempston picked up that much needed win at Bedford Town before backing it up with a home triumph over Aylesbury that saw back to back clean sheets recorded. City won the reverse fixture at Hillgrounds after Rovers went down to ten men and put the Rovers second string out of the league cup earlier this season, when Rovers were also reduced to ten men.
Basic directions;
Head toward the A1 and go south to London/Stevenage. Leave the A1 at exit 6 for the A1000 and take the first exit from the junction roundabout. Keep right to turn right at the next round about, signed A1000 W.G.C. and QE2 Hospital. Go straight over two roundabouts then take the first exit at the third one, continuing to follow signs for QE2 Hospital. Keep right to stay on this road as it goes around the large building on the right, once around the building, take the left hand turning onto Herns Way. The entrance to the ground is on the left, before the roundabout. The car park should be large enough to accommodate this fixture.
