Transport alert

Early televised kick-off

A 12:30 start usually means leaving before the first fast train of the day — pubs near the ground may not open until 11:00.

Transport alert

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. May trips into Stevenage should be planned around a possible line closure.

Ground note

Stevenage's town centre and Old Town are separate areas — make sure you know which one you're heading to.

Ground note

The Lamex Stadium is a small, tight ground; away allocations for bigger clubs sell out quickly.
