Festive Football...
As our final home fixture of the year and the last match before Christmas, supporters are encouraged to arrive early and soak up the atmosphere, with our Christmas Corner located at the front of the ground on Newmarket Road, situated where the Junior U's Kids' Zone usually is.
The festive area will feature seasonal food and drink, a Christmas singalong led by Simon Cragg, and a selection of activities to keep younger supporters entertained.
BrewBoard Fan Zones and Food/Drink...
The BrewBoard Fan Zones in the Newmarket Road End, Petrest Main Stand, and North Habbin will be open from 6:30pm. They're the perfect place to meet up with fellow supporters and enjoy a wide range of food and drink before kick-off.
We've refreshed the menu with some great options, including the long-awaited return of bacon rolls, improved burgers, and amber-dusted fries! This Friday, to help get you into the Christmas spirit, we've got a Christmas Bap as our Street Eat option.
Be sure to grab a BrewBoard beer from around the ground. Abbey Gold and Camstar are available at all bars, and a wider selection of drinks can be found at the Beer Buses located in the NRE and Habbin Fan Zones.
Marvin the Moose...
Marvin will be spreading cheer in the Kids’ Zone and around Cledara Abbey Stadium ahead of kick-off! Amber the Moose won’t be making an appearance this weekend - she’s off helping Santa and the elves get ready for the holidays.
