Team arrival

Cheer on the team at 1.20pm as they are piped from the North Stand to West Stand.

This arrival is a key part of the matchday build-up, and we want to create a tunnel of noise for the players as they make their way to the West Stand Main Reception entrance.

Fans are asked to line the West Stand roadway and concourse and be in position by 1.20pm!
