For the third game running, there will be no change to the standard turnstile arrangements for this Saturday’s (27 September 2014) Sky Bet League 1 fixture against Port Vale.
Once again, we would ask supporters to get to the stadium as early as possible to avoid any queues as we approach kick-off.
Secondly, we would remind those travelling by car to the stadium to make sure they lock their car securely and place any valuables out of sight while your car is parked up for the game.
Finally, we would stress again the standard policy that any home supporters who haven’t got a ticket or pass in their possession before the game must buy a ticket from the main ticket office in the North West corner of the stadium before they approach the turnstiles.
So for Saturday’s game versus Port Vale (kick-off 3pm), the following entrances are the easiest way for you to gain entry to the stadium:
For the JCT 600 West Stand
- Supporters with pre-paid tickets - i.e. season tickets, match tickets or FlexiCards where the seats have been paid for in advance - should make their way to turnstiles W4-W10 or W12-W18. These turnstiles are all located in the Directors’ car park either side of the glass doors that lead to the banqueting areas.
- Supporters with a FlexiCard who wish to pay cash on the day can enter by turnstiles W3 or W11.
- Any spectator with no passes or tickets should make their way to the main ticket office in the North West corner of the stadium to make a purchase.
For the North Stand Kop
- Supporters with pre-paid tickets - i.e. season tickets, match tickets or FlexiCards where the seats have been paid for in advance - should make their way to turnstiles N1 to N4 and N5-N6, all of which are located behind the Kop.
- Supporters with pre-paid tickets - i.e. season tickets, match tickets or FlexiCards where the seat has been paid for in advance - can also enter both levels of the North Stand Kop through turnstiles N11 - N14 which can be located on Midland Road.
- Supporters with a FlexiCard for the North Stand Kop who wish to pay cash on the day are asked to gain access through turnstiles N9-N10 on Midland Road. N7 and N8 behind the Kop (close to the Bantams Bar entrance) will also be available for flexi-card holders wanting to pay cash on the day, but to ease congestion in the area around the ticket office; all supporters are asked to use the turnstiles on Midland Road.
- Any spectator with no passes or tickets should make their way to the main ticket office in the North West corner of the stadium to make a purchase.
For the Northern Commercials (East) Stand

- Supporters with a FlexiCard who wish to pay cash on the day can enter the Northern Commercials Stand by turnstiles E5 or E6.
- Any spectator with no passes or tickets who wants to sit in Blocks A-E of the stand, should make their way to the main ticket office in the North West corner of the stadium to make a purchase.
- Supporters who have obtained tickets through the Club’s Community Foundation should enter the stadium via turnstiles E11-E12 on Midland Road; these turnstiles will allow access to Blocks F&G of the Northern Commercials Stand.
Late turnstiles
There will be late turnstiles for each part of the stadium which will remain open until half-time. For the JCT 600 Stand, W3 will be the late gate; for the Kop, turnstile N8 (which is behind the Kop, close to the Bantams Bar) will remain open and for the East Stand, E5 will stay open until half-time.
There will be no road closures in place for this game.
