    This Saturday we take on our Essex rivals, Chelmsford City, with both sides battling for the play-off spots.

    All Hornets season ticket holders get concession-priced admission to this match (and all our league games this season).

    The clubhouse and 3 pitchside bars will all be serving Mad Squirrel beers and cider - and the clubhouse (open to all) will also be showing England v France on multiple screens. We also have a drinks offer from 5 pm to 7 pm - buy one pint, get the second for half price.

    Tickets are available to pre-purchase and at the turnstiles: https://fanzone.stalbanscityfc.com/product-category/match-tickets/

    Tickets are also on sale for the Herts Derby fixture on New Year's Day - when we welcome Hemel Hempstead Town to the Park. Last season, we had just under 3000 fans in attendance with a similar crowd expected this season,

    I'm partial to the occassional SAFC match.

    However a genuine question: St Albans is a similar size to Watford (if not slightly larger), is more affluent and appealing as a place to live, has a long history and yet can only muster a semi professional football team.

    Meanwhile the poor relations down the A405 field a team of international superstars who bring joy to millions.

    Why is this?

    Could it have been the other way round with a very slight change of circumstances in the early 20th century?

    Maybe because they're too posh and wouldn't be seen dead playing a sport as uncouth as association football?

    I put it down to the fact they let their stadium run into the ground 2000 years ago .

    A tree cost them a spot in the Conference which might have helped the club grow .

    Be careful what you wish for, we didn't even have a stadium 2000 years ago!
