Marine announce Chester arrangements

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Marine have announced the arrangements for the visit of title contenders Chester FC on Saturday 17th December at the Arriva Stadium kicking off at 3:00pm.

Admission to the ground is £9 for adults and £5 concessions with children aged 11 and under free as long as a paying adult accompanies them.

Admission to the ground for Chester FC supporters will be via turnstiles 1 and 2 on College Rd and for Marine supporters via gates 3 and 4 accessible via the car park to the front of the Stadium. Fans of both clubs are advised to arrive at the ground early to reduce delays at the turnstiles. All turnstiles will open at 1:30pm and from turnstiles 1 and 2 the College Suite will be open for Chester FC fans providing bar, refreshments and toilets. Normal facilities will be available for Marine fans. Further details covering the match day arrangements are available at www.marinefc.com

The decision for segregation has been made for logistical reasons following discussion with representatives of Chester FC, Merseyside Police and Marine and has been made to assist with the distribution of fans around the ground, to minimise crowd movement at half time and to help with the provision of facilities to both sets of supporters.

Marine Chairman Paul Leary said

“I look forward to our first ever competitive game against title contenders Chester FC who are chasing for that automatic promotion place at the top of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League. Chester FC is a family friendly club and with a huge fan base will have massive support at the game. I look forward to a very special occasion for both teams and their supporters and I therefore will welcome the players, officials and supporters of Chester FC to the Arriva Stadium for what will be their first ever visit especially at this festive time.”
