Do we know on average how many fans are going to be making the trip?

How can you have an average based on one thing?

Probably take about 4-500 I'd guess? Terrace is shite there and you get about two seats.

Sold a shade just under 400. I'm presuming there's a pay on the day as there's no pressure on numbers clammering to see this one.
Bit of a throwback to the old Conf Kingstonian FC days. If my memory serves you do get the lovely bonus of being able to stand and lean on a barrier in the away end. Its a 15 mins walk from New Malden overground and there's a big pub called the Glasshouse nearly opposite the station – very few pubs directly near the ground.

It was a right good day last season in the sun – everything was great apart from the bit between 3pm and 4.50.

Luckily got a mate who lives in the area Rigo who tipped me off on the cross country orienteering perils of getting off at Berrylands station instead of New Malden.

Well Ive had a week in London booked for ages, only realised we played Wimbledon a couple of weeks back, so I have no excuse for not going. Glad to know we’ve sold that many so far, hopefully a few on the gate too.

I live a 30 minute walk from their ground so a mini pub crawl from Surbiton to Kingston is on the cards. The Albion is a great pub with locally brewed beer walking distance away but it’s not typically a football crowd. I’ll be aiming to end up in the Bricklayers Arms.

I will try to take in the Albion but will depend when Coach arrives. Any traffic problems do you think with England at Twickers a bit later ?

Norbiton is much closer than New Malden, it was closed last year for engineering works. Not much near ground but away fans will be allowed in the decent sized bar at the ground, home fans are a friendly bunch, bar also open after the game.
