BrewBoard Fan Zones and Food/Drink...

The BrewBoard Fan Zones in the Newmarket Road End, Petrest Main Stand, and North Habbin open at 12pm, making them the perfect place to meet up with fellow supporters and grab pre-match food and drink. 

Fans will notice several new additions across the ground this season designed to reduce queue times and expand options, including new food outlets in the Mead Family Stand and North Habbin, as well as a replacement Tea Bar located between the NRE and Main Stand. 

Plus, over in the Novus Main Stand, we’re excited to launch United Fried Chicken, serving up crispy chicken strips, cauliflower bites, and a range of flavorful sauces.

Travel…

There is no on-site parking at the Cledara Abbey Stadium and supporters are reminded to be considerate when parking on local streets and to always follow local guidance and parking regulations.

We ask all fans to be mindful of local residents when travelling to matches and to consider alternative ways of getting to the Cledara Abbey Stadium:
