COLERAINE FC would like to provide supporters with all the essential information ahead of tomorrow’s Irish Cup final…

This is a massive occasion for the club, players, and fans alike; therefore, we encourage everyone travelling to get behind the team and play their part in creating a memorable day.

Your support has been incredible throughout the season and tomorrow is another opportunity to stand together and back the Bannsiders on the biggest stage.

Here’s everything you need to know before, during and after the game at Windsor Park.

BEFORE THE GAME

The team bus will leave The Showgrounds at 9.45am, giving fans the perfect send-off opportunity as the squad heads to the capital. Upon leaving the ground, the bus will turn left down towards the Railway Gates and down Railway Road.

From early morning, Phat Events will have their catering van open, serving up breakfast rolls to get everyone fuelled for the day ahead.

Meanwhile, Roasted will also be on hand, providing some free goodies for supporters.

There will be plenty for younger fans to enjoy, with a face painter booked for the occasion.

An outdoor fanzone will open behind the Railway End from 11.30am (through the blue gates) to 1pm, complete with bar facilities and a DJ, making it the ideal spot for supporters to gather, socialise and build excitement before the big game.

The Social Club will also be open from 11.30am with fans not needing tickets to enter at this stage.

The Club Shop will be open from 9am to 12 noon.

GAME

The game will kick-off at the National Stadium at Windsor Park at 2.30pm on Saturday, May 2.

Gates at the stadium will open at 1pm for general admission.

The PSNI has issued the following traffic and admission information, as well as spectator behaviour guidance, which can be read HERE.

Tickets remain on sale for Coleraine fans for the West Stand and North Stand which can be bought HERE.

AFTER THE GAME

The outdoor fanzone will once again open after the game (from 6pm to late) for supporters on a first come, first served basis, with complete bar facilities and a DJ.

The Social Club will only be open to supporters who have purchased tickets in advance – these have now all SOLD OUT.

Please note that access between the McKendry Suite and Viewing Lounge is prohibited inside the Social Club so that capacity could be maximised to allow as many as possible into the bar areas.

FINAL THOUGHTS

A massive thank you to the fans and the local community for your support all season, and especially for ‘Operation Blue and White’.

We remind all fans to represent Coleraine FC with pride. We ask everyone to respect fellow supporters, club staff, stadium staff and guidance from stewards/the PSNI.

We look forward to seeing you at The Showgrounds and then onwards at Windsor Park.

Let’s come together, get behind the team and make it a day to remember.
