*** Please note that the pitch is currently covered in snow and so there will be an early pitch inspection on Saturday morning. Supporters are advised to check this website or Twitter before travelling, if they are not registered with the match text service. ***

Admission arrangements.
Please assist our volunteer turnstile operators by arriving early and entering the ground by the correct turnstile.
Six turnstiles will be open.

Turnstile 1 near the statue will accept concessions £5 and juniors £2.
Turnstile 2 near the statue will accept adults only £8.

Turnstiles 3 and 4 at the other end of the car park will accept season tickets and complimentary tickets.

Turnstiles 7 and 8 are at the far end of the main stand, and will accept all categories. Walk down the path behind the main stand to reach these turnstiles.

(Thank you to the 340 supporters who used the far turnstiles for the FA Trophy match last Saturday. This helped to share out the work for our operators. Please assist us by continuing to use these turnstiles.)

Access for wheelchairs and pushchairs will be through the stewards’ gate to the left of the statue.

The early gate will be turnstile 1 and will open at 1pm. All categories accepted.

The late gate will be turnstile 1 and will stay open until at least 3.30pm. Full price entry will apply while the late gate is open. All categories accepted.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

As there is fairly limited car parking available at the ground, supporters are requested to use public transport where this is possible.

The nearest Metrolink tram station is Ashton West, the penultimate stop on the Eccles - Ashton-under-Lyne line from which there is a short walk to the ground via Richmond Street. There is expected to be a tram service running every 12 minutes during the afternoon.

The nearest railway station is Ashton-under-Lyne, the first stop on the Manchester Victoria - Huddersfield line. From Ashton-under-Lyne station, it is just under a mile to the ground. The journey takes 10 minutes and is expected to be half-hourly – and running throughout the afternoon.

For bus services, please check with Transport for Greater Manchester.

The artificial pitch next to the ground is booked to be used for junior football until 2.00pm, so please take care when driving in the area. Again, the upstairs room will be closed due to a pre-booked function. There will therefore be limited bar facilities in the downstairs supporters’ bar and in the portable cabin next to that bar.

Toilets
Unfortunately, the upstairs toilets inside the function room won’t be available due to the pre-booked function, so supporters standing on the main terrace are instead asked to use the toilets that are at the far side of the main (seated) stand. These toilets have the same facilities as those near to the downstairs supporters’ bar.
