About the Ground
|
|
Holloways Park is a reasonably nice ground by
Southern league standards. It has open terracing behind one goal
with cover behind the other, a small stand of around 200 on the far side of the
ground and open terracing on the other side.
The ground has a capacity of 3,500, the majority of which is standing terracing. The stand seats
200 people.
Toilets are accessible from the clubhouse before
kick-off, and from the stadium after the game. |

Southern League games entry to the terraces are:

 The
match day programme is £1.50
for season 2008/09. Programmes can be brought from the programme hut (pictured below left). It is just by the turnstiles, you can't
miss it. The programme is designed by Glen
Riley.
The club shop is just past the programme hut (see below), and is accessed by
turning left as soon as you get through the turnstiles. It sells items such as
club stickers, fleeces, T-shirts and polo shirts, home and away shirts and match
DVD's. Prices are available
here.
 You can buy Golden Goal tickets for £1 each with the
chance of winning £40.
There is also a half-time raffle at all weekend matches,
with the prize money varying from match to match.

Where to park
|
|
There
is a modest parking field just outside the ground, accessible through the trees. It is patrolled by ground staff
who will tell you where to park. This does tend to fill up a while before
kick-off so you will need to allow plenty of time if you wish to park here,
otherwise parking is limited in the surrounding roads.
The compound area is off-limits to everyone
except players & officials. If you decide to park on the road outside the
ground, please turn around and park on the left-hand side (the stadium side). |

Will the game be on?
|
|
Who knows? I certainly don't. But I know someone who will
know, go to the
Yahoo
weather website to check out the five-day forecast for Beaconsfield.

|
What kind of welcome can away fans expect?
|
|
Slough fans are a good natured, friendly bunch but due to
numbers they can seem a little intimidating at times. Don't be fooled though, as
they are generally very good humoured. It is extremely rare for there to be any
crowd trouble.
