Hoddesdon Town was established in 1879 and started playing at its current Lowfield ground in 1882. The highlight of the club’s history must be winning the FA Vase at Wembley in front of 9500 spectators in the competition’s first ever season, 1974/75. In recent seasons they’ve flitted between the Essex Senior League and the Spartan South Midlands League but were relegated to the Eastern Counties League Division One three seasons ago. 

In October we won 4-1 at the Old Spotted Dog Ground, in front of a season best crowd of 1057, thanks to goals from Cameron Gordon (2), James Briggs and Azariah George-Lawal.

Two seasons ago, a 0-0 draw at the OSD was followed by a 1-0 win away, thanks to Noah Adejokun’s goal. Last season we met in the FA Vase, which finished 2-2 before we edged it on penalties.

Having lost the first NINE league games of the season and sitting rock bottom, Hoddesdon’s form picked up just after their defeat at the OSD. In fact over the last 17 games, they have the fourth best form, and remain an outside bet for sneaking into the play-offs.

Joint top scorers are Connor Bolton and Connor Casey with 11 apiece. Bolton has scored for the last five games in a row.

Hoddesdon Town’s admission prices are £8, with concessions £5 and U12s £2.

There’s a bar and a tea bar serving hot food and snacks. The programme is online only.

The nearest station to Lowfield is Broxbourne, which is a 21 minute train journey from Tottenham Hale. It is in Oyster Zone 11. From there it’s a 21 minute walk to the ground.

Parking is available in the street but beware parking on double yellow lines as traffic wardens are always around on match days.
