Match Night Arrangements: Cork City Game

Following discussions with match night security, updated access arrangements will be in place for the Cork City game and for all future home fixtures.

We ask that all supporters take a few moments to familiarise themselves with these new arrangements.  Whilst we appreciate that they may be a change to your existing route to access the stadium.  However these changes are in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all spectators.

ACCESS FOR HOME SUPPORTERS

City supporters can access the stadium from

• Gate 19
  • Location:  Lone Moor Road wall, access via top of Greyhound Track ,
• Gate 5:
  • Location:   Bottom of Brandywell Road/Southend Park

Both these access points are a short walk from Inner and Outer Car Parks. Car Parking will still be available as normal pre-match.

In order to accelerate the speed of access, a number of  new turnstiles commissioned and are ready for use.

• 1 on Lonemoor Road, 2 on Brandywell Road, and 4 on Southend Park.
• Hand scanners available at ALL gates as a back-up for the remainder of the season.

Home supporters will no longer be able access the stadium via Gate 9(Inner Car Park).  This access will be for Club Staff, Guests, officials and AWAY supporters only.

Please review and plan your route for access based on these changes.  In particular, if you previously accessed the ground via Gate 9, you may need to allow extra time to reach your new access point.

There will also be  no access between the gates situated behind the Showgrounds goal – this will be in operation before kick off and   and after the final whistle

Supporters sitting in the North Stand or Southend Stand who wish to access the Club Merchandise Store, will need to walk via the Lone Moor Road side of the ground.
