That's after the National League gave the club the go-ahead to welcome fans back for the visit of Chelmsford City.

The news is likely to be well received by all involved with the Hawks after they were unable to gain approval for a supporter return in time for last night's 3-2 home defeat to Hemel Hempstead.

But the club have now confirmed all criteria has been met with permission granted from Hampshire County Council's Safety Advisory Group and the National League for fans to return.

The Hawks are likely to be limited to an attendance of around 1,400 to comply with the current guidelines.

Supporters were last at Westleigh Park to watch Paul Doswell's side secure a 2-0 triumph over Hampton & Richmond Borough on March 7.

Tickets for Saturday's National League South visit of Chelmsford must be brought in advance of the match.

More details are available on the Hawks' website.
