The Club appreciates we are asking a lot with this game starting at 12noon on a Sunday, but if all fans could follow the example they have already set at the first few home games and arrive early, it would be a huge benefit to themselves and the Club.
So far, home supporters have been great in arriving early for games and, although we know it’s a tough call for this game, if they could do that again it would help us all.
With supporters giving themselves just those few extra minutes, it avoids build-ups and queues at the turnstiles and ensures everyone is in the stadium for the 12 noon kick-off. .10.30amTurnstiles will be open in every section of the stadium from
We would also take this opportunity to remind supporters the main Ticket Office will not open at all after each home game. With the North Stand Kop being close to capacity and the North West Corner now back in use for every game, the ticket office will be closed after each home game to avoid adding to the congestion in that area as supporters leave the stadium.
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.
