It’s a 7.45pm kick-off on Friday and here are all the details you need ahead of the game…

Both the East Stand and Geoff Brown Stand are closing in on full capacity. There will be a great atmosphere coming from young supporters in the Ormond Stand and, due to demand, the North Stand will now also be open for Saints fans.

There will also be a cash turnstile in the North Stand for anyone wishing to take advantage of this.

TROPHY PRESENTATION

The William Hill Championship trophy ceremony will take place shortly after the full-time whistle. We would love every single supporter to remain in the stadium to share this special moment with the team.

The players and coaching staff will then stay on the pitch and do a lap of honour to thank you, the fans, for your incredible support this season.

Due to timescales, we ask all supporters to remain in their seats at the full-time whistle. This will allow for the trophy celebrations to take place as quick as possible before the players embark on their lap of honour.

ACCESS

Please note, parking at the Crematorium is not permitted. CCTV is in operation, and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
