If i go, then I will buy my ticket at the turnstile but will get there early in order to be able to get a space to park my car in the car park at the ground.
If the attendance is similar to last years pre-season game, attendance will be at a guess, around a 1000 people, if that ?

Not that many people when I saw this fixture last season, under a 1000 people at a guess ?

The fixture 2 years ago had over 2,000 people, and last year the figure would have been down because it was an 11am kick off due to the England v Sweden WCQF.

I just phoned up Harlow Town FC, e.g Harlow Town Football Club, Soccer club in Harlow, England
Address: Elizabeth Way, Harlow CM19 5BE phone: 01279 443196
When you phone up choose option one ( as instructed ) Ok I spoke to someone and they told me that the car park holds around 200 cars ( a rough guess ! ) Also car parking in the nearby local industrial area is quite easy to find.

The person I spoke to said that around ten years ago since it was located in a sports complex, now houses built on that old site !
In actual fact I just read this on Wikipedia ''The club built a new stadium in 2006 at Barrows Farm, now named The Harlow Arena, with the old Harlow Sports Centre being converted into housing.'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlow
Also as stated in previous comment..........''I just phoned up Harlow Town FC, e.g Harlow Town Football Club, Soccer club in Harlow, England
Address: Elizabeth Way, Harlow CM19 5BE phone: 01279 443196

Nice little ground, and the Harlow 'Ultras' are good value as well.

I simply cannot motivate myself to attend training matches however.

Already suggested that to Mrs dOn. To be fair she does see a few of Orient games, away ones, during the season and generally puts up with a lot. But she wasn’t interested, despite it being a fairy easy journey and with pre-booked parking.

Totally unreasonable but there you go

Bit pissed with The Who actually as I bought tickets for Hyde Park a few years back as it was going to be their last concert and they were calling it a day touring.

Now they're touring again, unreal. The Stones have pulled that stunt more than once, it's a bloody con.
