The football club have can confirm their turnstile arrangements for this Saturday's (22 February 2014) Sky Bet League 1 home fixture against Milton Keynes Dons at the Coral Windows Stadium.
With no changes in place to the arrangements for Tuesday's match with Port Vale, supporters are once again asked to get to the stadium as early as they can (just that extra 10 minutes can make all the difference).
For supporters wishing to pay cash for the North Stand Kop with a FlexiCard, the club still advises fans to please use turnstiles N9-N10 on Midland Road.
The turnstiles on Midland Road for the Kop provide access to both levels of the stand.
By using Midland Road, spectators will avoid any congestion and queues next to the main ticket office at the back of the Kop.
There will be no road closure in place on Midland Road for this game.
Supporters travelling on foot or by car, however, are asked to show extra care in the build-up to the game and at the final whistle when vehicles will be moving in the roads around the stadium.
