We beat Barton Rovers 3-0 in the league and, despite having to make eight (!) changes to the starting line-up, managed to knock Harlow Town out of the Southern League Challenge Cup with a 2-1 win at the Harlow Arena. We await the draw for the next round.

Comrades’ cup exploits continue at home on Tuesday 7th December when Hemel Hempstead are the visitors in the Herts Senior Cup. We now also proudly boast the best defensive record in the top 19 divisions of English football – only Chelsea can match Berko’s five league goals conceded. Off the pitch, everyone at the club sends their very best wishes to Steve and Jackie Davis, both of whom are isolating with covid: get well soon, Mr and Mrs Berko FC!

Next, we’re back to league action – top of the table Berkhamsted face Colney Heath at Broadwater on Saturday 4th December. Kick-off is at 3pm, and the club house will be open from 12:30. Fans can enjoy hot food and drinks in the club house throughout the afternoon, and inside the ground snacks and drinks are always available at the well-stocked tea bar. Admission prices are as follows: Adults £8, Concessions £4, Unaccompanied children £2, and accompanied children free of charge. If you have a season ticket for a professional club, a 50% discount is available if you show the season ticket at the turnstile. For any groundhoppers, we still produce a paper program for each home game.

Payment can be made in cash at the turnstile, or via contactless card payment inside the club house. Pay at the bar in the club house, and you’ll be given a ticket to access the ground straight through the white gate, with no need to join the queue at the turnstile. If you’d like to show your support for the team with a hat or scarf, a selection of merchandise is available at the turnstile on match days, and a wider range of products, including replica home and away jerseys, are available from the club shop online at - Berkhamsted Comrades FC - Soccer Clubs - Soccer - Shop By Team (oneills.com)

PLEASE NOTE:

Parking is tight at the ground itself, but there are car parks at Canal Fields, St Johns Well Lane, and in the Lower Kings Road multi-storey, all of which are less than a five minute walk to the ground, and Berkhamsted Station is also very close for fans who might be travelling by train, with a large car park also available at the station. Our main sponsor is King Ace Cars (kingsace247.co.uk) so it’s very easy to get a taxi if you’d like to stay and have a few drinks after the game.

If you’d like to find out more about commercial opportunities at the club, have any questions or suggestions for match-day improvements, or would like to become involved as a volunteer or even a committee member, please ask for Steve, Grant or Andrew and one of us will be delighted to have a chat. And if you can’t make it to any of our fixtures, live updates are posted on our Twitter account @BerkoFC – we’re well on the way to 5,000 followers, so why not give the account a follow?
