Aldershot Town make their next away trip of the 2021/22 Vanarama National League campaign, with the visit of Southend United’s Roots Hall this Tuesday.
Here’s a comprehensive guide of everything you need to know ahead of the match at 7:45PM:
GETTING THERE
By Car
From M25 take Junction 29 and follow the A127 to Southend. Continue towards the town centre, through the lights near to the Bell Pub. At the next roundabout turn right (3rd turning), continuing on the A127. The ground is on the right just past the next traffic lights. If you turn right as you reach the ground, this will put you behind the away end where there is plenty of street parking to be found. There is no car parking available for visiting fans at the ground itself. There is the Southend High School For Boys (SS0 0RG) which also offers car parking for £5 per car (the school entrance is on Prittlewell Road).
Bear in mind that in the fair weather months Aug/Sep/April/May, if the weather is at all sunny the whole of East London seems to head down the A127 on a Saturday afternoon, so allow an extra 30 minutes if the temperature is on the warm side.

By Train
The closest railway station to Roots Hall is Prittlewell, which is served by trains from London Liverpool Street. It is located just under half a mile away from the stadium, and will only take around 5 minutes to walk.
Upon exiting the station, turn right and follow the road until you come to a traffic light controlled crossroads. You will see the ‘Fish House’ Fish & Chip shop on your right. Walk past this and take the next right turn. Continue for around 100 metres and you will see the stadium on your left.
