The turnstile arrangements for Saturday’s FA Cup Quarter Final tie with Reading at the Coral Windows Stadium were announced today (Friday) by the Club.
The procedures that worked so well for the Sunderland game will be followed again.
The Club would like to repeat its request for all supporters to imagine the game is starting at 12.15pm.
By targeting a 12.15pm kick-off, this enables everyone to get into the stadium well before kick-off so that no-one misses the start of the game or the pre-match atmosphere.
As the game is a complete sell-out, there can be no tickets to purchase on the day. Turnstiles will open at 11:00am and the following entry points will help supporters to get into the stadium in the easiest way.
Season ticket and flexi-cards are not valid for this game, so everyone must have a match ticket.
For the JCT 600 West Stand (home supporters only)
- Home supporters with pre-paid match tickets should make their way to turnstiles W3-W10 or W11-W18. These turnstiles are all located in the Directors’ car park either side of the glass doors that lead to the banqueting areas.
