City can confirm to supporters their turnstile arrangements for Sunday’s home Sky Bet League 1 game against Coventry City.
With the kick-off being 3.30pm, turnstiles for all parts of the stadium will open at 2:00pm for this game.
The club has also re-stated its wish for supporters to come early to the game and for supporters paying cash with their FlexiCards for the North Stand to avoid the area at the back of the Kop (near the Ticket Office) and use turnstiles N9 and N10 which can be located on Midland Road.
The turnstiles on Midland Road for the Kop provide access to both levels of the stand.
The Supporters’ Board will continue with arranging their pre-match interviews and on Sunday their guest will be the author Paul Firth who is the author of the book Four Minutes to Hell: The Story of the Bradford City Fire.
Supporters are reminded of the standard ways they can get into the stadium for the Coventry City game.
These details are provided below and the club asks, once again, for supporters to get to the game in good time - arriving just 10-15 minutes earlier helps with the flow of supporters into the stadium and ensures people are in place for both the pre-match entertainment and the kick-off.
For the Main West Stand
- Supporters with pre-paid tickets - i.e. season tickets, match tickets or FlexiCards where the seats have been paid for in advance - should make their way to turnstiles W5-W10 or W12-W18. These turnstiles are all located in the Directors’ car park either side of the glass doors that lead to the banqueting areas.
- Supporters with a FlexiCard who wish to pay cash on the day can enter by turnstiles W4 or W11.
- Supporters for the Main West Stand who haven’t pre-booked and wish to pay cash can enter via turnstile W3 (which is the turnstile nearest to Valley Parade).
For the North Stand Kop
- Supporters with pre-paid tickets - i.e. season tickets, match tickets or FlexiCards where the seats have been paid for in advance - should make their way to turnstiles N3 or N4 and N5-N8, all of which are located behind the Kop.

Other points to note:
- The cash only turnstiles (W3 for the Main West Stand and N1 for the North Stand Kop) offer no choice of seats and only take cash. Any supporter wishing to have a choice of seats or pay by credit or charge cards must go to the club’s Ticket Office.
- Restrictions will again be in place in the area of the ticket office to avoid any crowd congestion in that area - supporters are asked to keep clear of this area unless they have a specific reason for approaching the stadium via this route.
- The club will continue its policy of having a late entry gate in each section of the stadium. This gate will stay open until half-time. W3 will be the late gate for the Main West Stand, N1 for the North Stand Kop and E1 for the Northern Commercials Stand.
- The Ticket Office will open at 10am on Sunday and remain open until kick-off and then re-open for a short period after the game; it will close as soon as any customers queuing at the Ticket Office have been served.
