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 ?

Come on Sid you must be in the know down there? Pull some strings with tickets and parking spaces.

Sid is the car park a good size ? and is there other parking available close to the ground ? Cheers

I think they are in a sports centre complex.

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

OK, well look forward to hopefully getting a similar size crowd on this Saturday !!

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

I simply cannot motivate myself to attend training matches however.

Nice one Sid, I remember them at the old sports centre, shows how long since I've been there!

Also used to be an artificial ski slope next to their old ground.

Can’t bloody go. Purchased tickets to see the Who at Wembley. poo poo planning as usual.

Game will finish around 5. Not difficult to get to Wembley from Harlow.

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

Rather see the Who than a poxy friendly at Harlow town , i'm going to Sandown races ....fook the friendly's .

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.
