Food & Drink

Matchdays for the first half of the season will see a reduced offering of food and drink available in the fanzone, whilst construction takes place.

There’ll be one fish and chips unit, as well as one tea and coffee unit, which can be found opposite the Superstore.

Hawkers will be roaming the fan zone, selling lager and water.

During this period, there will be a greater opportunity to buy food and drink within the stadium concourses. There will be extra mobile bar units and extra staff, as well as an increase in products within the kiosks.

The special for this fixture will be Battered Fish Sandwich, available to buy from select kiosks across each concourse. The guest pie will be Coronation Chicken.

Fanzone

The Disco Bug will be joining us in the fanzone – head there for some pre-match tunes! If you’re in the East Stand get your matchday face paint or a selfie in the photobooth located in the concourse.

Remembrance

This fixture is our Remembrance Day Match. Prior to kick-off, managers from both teams will lay wreaths as we remember the sacrifices made by members of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces, both past and present.

We are joined by Joe Crombie and Bramwell Warren of the Salvation Army, who will sound the Last Post during a period of silence that will begin and end on the referee’s whistle. During this time, we will have a poppy card display taking place across the East Stand.

Please join us in paying our respects and remembering the bravery and dedication of those who have served.
