Ticket Information

Stevenage have allocated Robins supporters seats in the South Stand. Away tickets are unable to be produced digitally and so physical tickets must be collected/posted.

Any tickets not collected from the Completely-Suzuki Stadium by 12PM on Friday 26th April will be taken to the Lamex Stadium for collection on the day from the away ticket office (located next to the club shop).

Unless the full allocation of away tickets has been sold ahead of the game, visiting fans can also buy their tickets on the day from the Away Supporter Ticket Office.

Catering and toilet facilities are available to away fans underneath this stand however no alcohol is available to visiting away fans inside the ground. On the vast majority of fixtures away fans are welcome in our Broadhall Suite bar pre-match. This is located in the south-east corner of the ground, close to the away turnstiles, doors open at midday (6pm for Tuesday night games) and the early Premier League kick-off is usually on the TVs. Bar food is usually available too.

Parking

Free match day parking for 500 cars is available to fans at Fairlands Valley car park to the north of the ground. This is clearly signposted as you enter Stevenage from Junction 7 of the A1(M).

Please note fans are prohibited from parking in the nearby retail parks due to parking restrictions, exceeding which could result in fines.

Any fans parking in nearby residential streets are asked to park considerately and not to block driveways or inconvenience local residents.

Additional parking is also available in one of several town centre pay & display car parks.

You can then catch our match day shuttle bus service to The Lamex Stadium from the bus or railway station.

Train travel

Stevenage railway station is on the East Coast main line and has regular services running between the capital and the north. Great Northern trains run between London Kings Cross (from 25 mins) and Peterborough (50 mins). Thameslink trains run from a number of major London stations including London Kings Cross and London Bridge as well as Cambridge and Peterborough.

On arrival at the station you then have three options to continue your journey to The Lamex:

By taxi:

A taxi will take five minutes and cost approximately £5. Turn left out of the ticket barriers and head towards the town. Take the first stairs on the left before the bridge over the dual carriageway and the taxi rank is on the left.

By foot:

The railway station is approximately one mile away from the ground.

Turn left out of the ticket barriers towards the town. Take the stairs on the right before the bridge over the dual carriageway and head along the A602, Lytton Way with the railway on your right. At the roundabout which has the police station on the right, use the underpass to take the second exit into Six Hills Way towards Asda. At the next roundabout take the third exit (South) continuing along the A602 Monkswood Way, passing Asda on your right and North Herts College. After about 3/4 mile you will arrive at a roundabout and the ground will be opposite you on the other side of the A602.

Flags & Musical Instruments

Supporters are asked to contact Stevenage FC in advance of any fixture where they wish to bring a flag or banner of significant size for the approval of the Safety Management Team. The same applies to any musical instrument. This should be done with as much notice as possible via the email address info@stevenagefc.com.

As a general rule, if the size of the crowd is expected to go over 1100 in the South Stand flags of any significant size can start to be an issue in respect of blocking sightlines, endorsements and advertising.

If we are anticipating an away crowd attendance of below 1100 then Stevenage FC will seek to usually accommodate flags and banners and place them so as to not interfere with others enjoyment of the match.

Flags and banners must be situated in accordance with stewards directions in the South Stand and not cause danger, annoyance or nuisance to any others.

Drums and other musical instruments are permitted BUT they must be situated in Block C or D of the South Stand and are subject to the same caveats as flags and banners.

All items are subject to search and final approval at the ground.

No sharp edges or items that can be of potential use as weapons/ offensive, inflammatory or political slogans etc are tolerated.
