Match Day Arrangements Friday 1st July V Luton

[Kate Deller]

With a large crowd expected for Friday evening’s game we thought it was useful to summarise arrangements for the match to ensure the evening is safe and enjoyable for all.

KICK OFF IS AT 7PM
Entry for all will be via the Fishponds Road Turnstiles which will be open from 5.30pm so please arrive early. Although our online only ticket arrangements make entry as smooth as possible there will still inevitably be some queues on entry. We want to ensure everyone is safely in the ground ready for kick off. If you have purchased a Season Ticket and selected a physical card which you are yet to receive in the post then please make yourself known to a steward at the turnstiles and they will arrange access.

PARKING
The car park at Top Field will be reserved for match officials, players, club officials, matchday staff, matchday volunteers and any disabled visitors by pre-arrangement only. To minimise impacts on our neighbours we have worked hard with the authorities to arrange for additional parking to be available for supporters. Huge thanks to Cllr Ian Albert for his support in achieving this and all at NHDC for allowing the following arrangements for Friday’s game:

Butts Close – Parking will be available on Butts Close between 5pm and 10pm. (this is directly opposite the Fishponds Road Turnstiles, adjacent to Hitchin Swimming Centre)

Lairage Multi Storey Pay and Display Car Park (SG5 1GN)– NHDC have agreed to extend the opening hours on this evening to 10pm. (normal closing time 6.45pm)

FOOD AND DRINK
Canary Club – The Canary Club bar will be open all afternoon and open after the game for soft and alcoholic drinks. Our annual Cider and Cheese festival will also be taking place on the 1st and 2nd July. If you leave the ground to access the Canary Club to purchase drinks during the game you will need a stamp to enable your re-entry into the ground.

Canary Kitchen – Canary Kitchen will be open serving hot food and hot & cold drinks in the ground. To ease queues an additional hot & cold drinks station will also be set up serving in the corner of the ground between the Concrete Terrace and the Main Stand

B’s Ices – The Ice Cream van will again be set up adjacent to the main stand.
