Food and Drink: There is a selection of food and drinks available at the tea bars inside the ground, including our award-winning bacon rolls. The most convenient haunt for away fans after their journey is The Greyhound on Coldham's Lane as it is near where the away fans' coaches drop off and pick up.

Next to the ground, the Supporters Club (owned and operated separately from the Football Club) is usually open to all supporters and serves a variety of hot and cold food and reasonably priced drinks. Entry to non-members is £1 The nearest chippy is 'The Chippy' on Newmarket Road and is a few minutes walk in the direction of the town centre (turning left from the front of the ground.) Ten minutes walk in the other direction is a McDonalds.

For most games, away fans will be accommodated in the southern end of the Habbin Terrace. To get there from the Greyhound pub, simply follow the path across Coldham's Common and use the 'Habbin South' turnstiles.

TEAM NEWS
Chris Coleman has doubts about Clinton Morrison (hip injury) but should field most of the team which played at Stade Nyonnais a week ago.

New boys - Keiran Westwood, Guillame Buezelin,Aron Gunnarsson and Freddie Eastwood should all play.

Robbie Simpson who is the reason that this game is being staged, should also feature at some point and should get a good reception off the fans of the Conference club.
