PREVIEW: BERKHAMSTED
This Saturday its a break from Southern League action as it’s time for the first match in our 2024/2025 Emirates FA Cup campaign. It’s always special to play in the FA Cup and we have been drawn at home against Berkhamsted in the first qualifying round. Whilst the league hasn’t exactly kicked off to plan the FA Cup can always bring a few surprises. Lets see as many of you as possible at Top Field supporting Brett and the team.
The information below should help you make the best out of your visit to Top Field.

If you do still wish to buy your tickets in person, the matchday ticket office is open from 13.30-15.15 and can be accessed from the rear car park (behind the Canary Club). Once you have purchased a ticket at the Canary Club you will then need to present your ticket for entry at the Turnstiles on Fishponds Road. More details here:

As it is a cup game (and gate receipts are shared) season tickets are not valid for this match.
Parking
Unfortunately supporter parking is not available in the club car park (unless you are a registered blue badge holder and have made prior arrangements).
Food and Drink
The Canary Club bar is open from 11.00 with some of the lowest prices in Hitchin! Drinks can be taken into the ground in a reusable plastic cup. (£1 deposit required). You can exit to the bar during the match and will be re-admitted via the side gate by showing your hand-stamp. Get down early and watch the early kick off on TV before heading into the ground.
Mad Squirrel Brewery will be on hand serving draught craft beers in the ground. They will be located between the main stand and the Fishponds Road stand. They will be open as soon as the turnstiles open at 14.00 and throughout the match. We have a couple of matches left of this initial trial and then we hope to bring you news about a permanent addition later in the season.
Canary Kitchen will be open from 14.00 serving a great range of food and soft drinks including our signature HTFC Pies.
Club Shop
Get your matchday programme, teamsheet, chocolate bars, sweets and HTFC merchandise from the club shop.
