Fans encouraged to arrive early this evening against Southend

In the interests of safety, we are urging all supporters to travel to the Attis Arena and enter the stadium in plenty of time when we face Southend United this evening.

There will be greater than usual crowd at the Attis Arena, as we go to battle for a place in the semi-final. The turnstiles will be open from 6.15pm.

The Iron Bar opens at 5pm, as does our car parks, and we're urging supporters to get down to the ground in plenty of time, with the urge for supporters to arrive at a turnstile earlier to ensure you get in prior to kick-off.

For that reason, although we endeavour to get all supporters into the ground as quickly and safely as possible, there could be some delays close to kick-off as the crowd begins to grow. We are advising early entry to the venue if possible, which should help keep queues down.

With a crowd of around 7,000 expected at the Attis Arena, we're encouraging supporters to make their way to the turnstiles well ahead of kick-off to avoid missing the start of the game.
