We hope that there will be a substantial number of travelling supporters from Hereford and we have made the following specific arrangements for the game.
• Coach Parking; We have capacity on the ground for the team bus only, and have made specific arrangements for the parking of coaches for supporters within 200 yards of the site in Meadow Road Car park. Coaches are can un- load in Silkmore Lane near entrance drive or as directed.
• Car Parking; We also have capacity for parking on site (approx. 120 cars). Cars will be directed to specific parking areas by stewards. (Parking free with admission ticket)
• Food; We have arranged for a mobile burger bar to be located on the ground adjacent to the Grandstand area for the sale of hot and cold food and drinks.
• Alcoholic Drinks: As the club does not have a licenced bar and club house currently on site – Special arrangements have been made for a ‘mobile beer bus’ to be positioned on site within an enclosure for the consumption of alcoholic drinks. A marquee type cover will also be available within the enclosure adjacent the pitch side. Bar will open at 1.00pm and close at 5.00pm.
• No Bottles or Cans are allowed to be brought onto the site for consumption around the ground and we ask supporters to use the enclosure area and the arrangement for sale and consumption of alcoholic drink whilst at the ground.
• A planning condition does not allow music or instruments to be played on the ground
We are sure the arrangements we have made will be of benefit to supporters of both teams and we are looking forward to this historic match between both clubs.
