Shamrock Rovers: Match Night Guide

City will welcome the largest crowd of the season tonight with the visit of Shamrock Rovers to the Ryan McBride Brandywell.

In order to make your night as enjoyable as possible – we have put together the following guide.  With the largest crowd expected, please arrive in plenty of time!

Travelling to the ground

• Please be considerate of our neighbours in the areas – with larger crowds, parking spaces will be at a premium, but please be mindful of those that live in the area and do not block drives or houses
• There is car parking available in the Long Tower Youth Club, but this tends to fill quickly, so if you want a spot – please make sure and arrive early.

Entry to the ground – Video

• If you are seated in the North Stand or the Southend Stand – please use turnstiles on the corner of Brandywell Road and Southend Road
• If you are seated in the Mark Farren Stand, or hold a Terrace ticket – you can enter by Gate 19 which is at the top of the car park, or from the turnstiles on the Lone Moor Road
• Away fans and those on the guest list only will be admitted through Gate 9
