SPFL Trust Trophy – Fan Information
Following yesterday’s operations meeting ahead of Sunday’s SPFL Trust Trophy final, we wanted to remind supporters of a few points that were raised as the big day nears closer.
eTickets will remain available to purchase right up until kick-off on the day of the game. Please note, there will be no physical tickets on sale at the ground on the day so you must buy online. These are available on the following link (and please note, we were down to just 55 available as of this morning) – here.
The fanzone outside the ground will be open from 2.30pm with a whole host of activities on offer. Full details on what to expect can be found here.
The turnstiles will open at 3.15pm so you can enter and take your seats anytime from then.
A reminder that alcohol is forbidden on supporters buses travelling to the game and anyone under the influence is at risk of being denied entry.
Drums will be permitted into the ground, but will be checked by stewards before entering.
Megaphones will not be permitted, however.
Car-parking will be available at the ground on the day in “Monoblock Car Park 2” at the cost of £5 per vehicle. There will be overflow parking available at the college and at West Mains Industrial Estate.
There are some roadworks around the ground just now so those at Falkirk FC have advised giving yourself 5-10 minutes extra on your travel time to take this into account.
For those unable to attend, the match is live on BBC ALBA with coverage starting from 4pm.
Match programmes will be on sale around the ground on the day at a price of £5. These can also be purchased online now on the following link – here.
The last point, and as always, an incredibly serious one is to remind supporters that pyrotechnics are strictly forbidden at football matches – and recent legislation makes the possession of such at any football game a criminal offence.
Whilst we understand that fans might see these as adding colour and atmosphere to games, the football club has a duty to ensure safety and security within the stadium and help with the delivery of a safe and secure event.
As mentioned, taking pyrotechnics into a sporting stadium is a criminal offence and we’d ask supporters to be mindful of the impact it could have on those around them, particularly people with medical conditions, young children, and elderly.
Anyone identified to be in possession of pyrotechnics or smoke devices within the stadium will be ejected, reported to the authorities and will be banned from attending future matches across the country. Stewards on the day will have wands to search supporters with which detect pyrotechnics so please ensure you do not attempt to bring these to the game and help avoid spoiling the game for yourself, for others and ultimately landing the club in bother with the SPFL too.
