Please also be aware of the new congestion charge rules
Nearest tubes are: Moorgate and Old Street
Bob Mills is the grounds man. Please make sure to say hello - he's a really nice chap
The security staff seem a little stern. But they are all really great! Make sure to ask them if they'd like a soft drink or coffee - if you are heading out to the shops.
Please help to clear up after the game finishes, put rubbish in the recycling and bins, so everything is neat and tidy.
Please join fellow team mates for a swift half after the match finishes!

Thank you in advance for complying with the rules. They allow us to keep playing cricket at our amazing ground!

Parking outside the congestion charge area:

I have looked and noted several areas were you can park for free on Saturdays and Sundays. Please see the attached image (yellow lines indicate parking areas).
The parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays and is a mix of residents and pay and display parking area, they are roughly a 5-10 mins walk max from the ground. Alternatively you can pay for congestion and park in the ground!
If you would like to park in the ground please provide me with your car reg number.

One last thing.
SUBS: We encourage all to pay, to help us continue to play on this magnificent ground.

Navigate to the “Shop” page on the desktop site or click on the shopping cart icon in the mobile app, and select ‘Annual subs - 2021’. You can pay your subs completely in one payment by selecting the “Annual” option, or you can pay in 5 instalments by selecting the “Monthly” option.

Annual Sub Amounts
Full: £100
Concession (Students / Under 25s): £50

Match Fee Amounts
£10 for all subs payers
£20 for non-subs payers. If you play 3 games you will be asked to pay a sub, and the difference in match fees above the lower rate will net off against the cost of the annual sub.
Selection priority will be given to those who have paid their subs. Paid subs will also be a requirement for anyone wanting to order HAC kit. More details on the kit order will follow in due course.
