The Club announced today (Friday) its access and turnstile arrangements for this Saturday’s home Sky Bet League One fixture against Oldham Athletic (kick-off 3pm) at the Coral Windows Stadium.
With a higher number of away fans expected, Bradford City fans are asked to get to the stadium as early as possible to avoid queues at turnstiles as kick-off approaches.
This is particularly the case for Home fans using the Northern Commercials Stand on Midland Road were the number of turnstiles available to Home fans will be limited for this game.
Turnstiles in all areas will open from 1.30pm and supporters are asked to get the stadium as early as possible to make sure they don’t miss the kick-off of this important game.
The Club wishes to remind all Home supporters of 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.
