We’re just a day away from the big televised Emirates FA Cup first round replay at home to Barnsley, and we’ve got all the details you need to know for the match. Whether you’re a home or away ticketholder, we’ve put together this handy guide to make sure you’re all set for the game.
Here’s what you need to know before you head to the stadium.
**Important Info**
First things first, this match is ALL-TICKET and it’s completely sold out. If you don’t have a ticket, please don’t make the trip and don’t try to get in without one.
If you do have a ticket, we recommend getting to the stadium by 6:30pm to allow plenty of time for entry. Turnstiles will be open from 5:30pm.
Don’t forget to bring your tickets with you, either on your phone or printed out.
**Transport and Parking**
There’s no parking available for supporters at the stadium (unless you’ve been pre-approved) or in nearby roads.
But don’t worry, we’ve got a free shuttle bus running from Horsham train station and Horsham bus station to the ground. It’ll be running every 25 minutes from 5:15pm. And if you’ve got a match ticket, you can hop on the 98 bus for free.
We’re asking spectators to park at the BT Exchange Car Park and North Street Public Car Park, and then use the shuttle bus to get to the stadium.
It’s super important that everyone gets to the stadium as early as possible so you don’t miss any of the action.
**Bags and Bag Searches**
If you need to bring a bag, just make sure it’s no bigger than A4 size. There’s no storage for bags at the stadium, and we might have to check them before you go in. Also, alcohol, flares, horns, and drums are not allowed and will be taken away.
**Seating**
If you’ve got a seated ticket, your seat will be reserved for you. Your ticket will tell you the row and seat number. If you don’t have a seated ticket, you’ll need to find a spot to stand around the ground.
**Alcohol**
According to FA rules, no alcohol can be served or drunk where you can see the pitch. That means you can’t take alcohol out of the clubhouse or Fan Zones.
The clubhouse bar will be open, but you won’t be able to see the action on the pitch. And once it’s full, it’ll be a one-in, one-out system.
There’ll be a ‘Home Fan Zone’ with alcohol behind the Main Stand, and an ‘Away Fan Zone’ to the right of the clubhouse. You can get to the Fan Zones through the turnstiles.
**Refreshments and Merchandise**
You won’t go hungry or thirsty at the stadium. There’ll be lots of places to get hot and cold food, snacks, and drinks.
You can also pick up matchday programmes, 50/50 raffle tickets, and all sorts of merchandise around the ground.
**Toilets**
There are toilets in four places: inside the clubhouse, near the main turnstiles, in the Fan Zone behind the Main Stand, and in the away fan section.
Smoking and vaping isn’t allowed inside the stadium, but there are designated smoking areas. If you need any help, just ask one of our stewards.
