Another great crowd is expected for Thursday night’s (4 May 2017) Sky Bet League 1 play-offs semi-final, so road closures will be implemented on the East side of the stadium.
Road closures are normally implemented 2 hours before kick-off, but for this game they will be enforced from 6pm to allow some of the normal rush-hour traffic to disperse.
Therefore, the road closures will be in force from 6pm on Thursday night right through to 10:00pm.
Midland Road will be closed from its junction with Thorncliffe Road right through to its junction with Cornwall Road.
The lower section of Holywell Ash Lane will also be closed from its junction with Lupton Street. Access to the disabled parking spaces in front of Rear Rock Terrace will still be allowed but only from the Thorncliffe Road closure point.
Any spectators wishing to use the car park off Midland Road (an area not operated by Bradford City FC) are asked to access that area from the direction of Hamm Strasse.
The Club would also like to take this opportunity to remind people travelling to the stadium by car to make sure that their car is left secure and that no valuables are on view. With the bumper crowd expected, thieves may target the area.
If you do suffer any crime of this type while attending the game, please report the problem to West Yorkshire Police immediately by calling the non-emergency 101 number.
The Club would also make an early appeal for supporters to arrive as early as possible at the stadium.
Bradford City followers have reacted brilliantly to appeals to come early for this year’s games. We make that appeal again and ask all supporters to arrive at the stadium just those few minutes earlier to make sure they are in their seats for the 7.45pm kick-off. Turnstiles will open in all sections of the stadium from 6.30pm.
Thank you for your support throughout the season; we are all looking forward to another cracking game with a great atmosphere.
