This from Salisbury FC about tomorrow's game:
Gates
The ground and bars will open at 1pm.
Car parking
The club have arranged four car parks and all will cost £2 to park in. All of the car parks will have signage from The Portway main road.
1. The club itself via Partridge Way. Space will be limited here due to the high number of reserved places for players, guests, media, club officials and dignitaries. Supporters are advised to use one of the 3 alternatives.
(There will be parking in the club car park at both the home and away ends for disabled supporters/blue badge holders.)
2. Westside Close. This is the next turning after Partridge Way on The Portway coming from the West (or before it, coming from the East). The club has been given use of the large field accessed through the Close.
3. Castlegate Park. From the West, take The Portway from the A345 and at the second roundabout, take the third exit. If coming from the East along The Portway, take the first exit at this roundabout. There will be signage.
4. Go Sky Dive car park. This is at Old Sarum Park, also off The Portway, past the ground if coming from the West, before it if coming from the East.
All car parks are within easy walking distance.
With so much official car parking available, please do not park in residential roads or on the industrial estate as these are private roads.
* There is also a bus service from the City centre, the No. 11 to the park and ride near the ground. The bus runs every 15 minutes. Timetable here: http://assets.goaheadbus.com/media/cms_page_media/2078/Beehive%20p&r11.pdf
There will be traffic. Please be patient before and after the game.
Bars
The Sarum Suite main bar inside the Main Stand is open to HOME FANS ONLY and can be used by TICKET HOLDERS ONLY, who have pre-bought their tickets. None will be sold on the day.
There will also be a bar with limited capacity for AWAY FANS ONLY in the gym at the Partridge Way end of the main stand.

Facilities
HOME FANS
As well as the usual food and drink outlets at either end of the main stand, there will also be a burger van at the back of the PB Asher stand that can be accessed from inside the ground.
AWAY FANS
There will be a burger van for away supporters at the Partridge Way end of the ground. Extra toilet facilities have also been installed.
Programmes
A special souvenir colour edition of the match day programme will be on sale outside the ground, price £2.50.
* PLEASE REMEMBER: THIS IS AN ALL-TICKET MATCH AND NO TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE ON THE DAY. PEOPLE WITHOUT TICKETS ARE URGED NOT TO SEEK TO ATTEND.
For anyone who might be considering trying to access vantage points outside the ground, these will be fenced off and access denied.
For all those with tickets, we look forward to welcoming you to the Ray Mac and hope that everybody has a great day in the true spirit of friendly footballing rivalry.
No matter who wins or who loses on the day, these are two new clubs who are back in business and back at the centre of the lives of their supporters and their communities. That is more important than the result of any one football match and it is worth us all bearing that in mind at the end of what we hope will be another wonderful occasion.
