A trip to Horsham sees AFC Totton supporters heading to The Fusion Aviation Community Stadium, commonly known as Hop Oast.
The ground sits on the Worthing Road, around 70 miles from the Snows Stadium, and is one of the newer facilities in non-league football.
Tickets:
Supporters are advised to purchase tickets in advance via the Horsham website, as prices increase on the day of the match. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE!
Adult admission is £15, with concessions (over-65s, students, and 16–17-year-olds) priced at £10. Under-16s pay £4, while under-6s are admitted free of charge. A family ticket is available at £30 in advance (£35 on the day).
Getting There:
There is no parking for away supporters at the ground itself, but Horsham FC operate a free Park & Ride service at Worthing Road (RH13 0AR), just 200 metres from the stadium. Stewards will be on hand to direct fans on foot. For those preferring the town centre, parking there will leave around a 20-minute walk to Hop Oast. Blue Badge holders may book one of the limited accessible spaces directly with the club in advance.
By rail, Horsham station is around two miles away from the ground. From there, around five buses per hour leave from Bus Stop L, dropping close to the stadium.
Food & Drink:
Supporters are well catered for at Hop Oast. The main clubhouse bar offers a full range of alcoholic and soft drinks, which can be taken pitchside during the game. Hot food such as burgers, hot dogs, and chips can be purchased from the serving hatch by the turnstiles. A smaller “beach hut” bar, next to the main stand, provides additional drinks and snacks, while the “horse box” between the clubhouse and main stand offers hot drinks, soft drinks, crisps and chocolate.
Matchday Regulations:
Fans should be aware that bag and personal searches may take place on entry. Smoking and vaping are not permitted within the ground, with designated smoking areas provided just outside the perimeter. Musical instruments, flares, and pyrotechnics are strictly prohibited, with breaches resulting in immediate removal from the stadium. Dogs are welcome in outdoor areas but must be kept on a lead at all times.
