Kick off tonight brought forward to 6:45pm

Due to the forecasted freezing temperatures later tonight, we have taken the decision to move kick off forward to 6:45pm. Gates will open at 5:30pm and we advise getting to the ground early to ensure smooth entry into Iffley Road.

There are no tickets available on the gate.

Match day information:

SCHEDULE

5:30pm: Gates open, bar open, food trucks begin serving.

•               We strongly recommend that you arrive early to ensure you are seated for kick off. Last year about 1,000 people arrived at 7pm, meaning they missed kick-off, got bad seats, and then faced long queues at the bars and food trucks. Get in early, grab a pint and a burger, and get a good seat!

6:45pm: BATTLE FOR THE CITY: Men*s Blues vs Brookes kicks off

TICKETS

Pre-booked tickets online only, no tickets are available on the gate

SECURITY

Bag checks will be in operation at this event. No alcohol is to be brought on site. Any alcohol brought to the club will be confiscated.

PARKING

Unfortunately we are only able to offer parking to Blue Badge Holders this Friday. Parking in the Sports Department car park is monitored by ANPR and you could be subjected to a £100 fine should you park there.

SMOKING AND VAPING

There is no smoking or vaping in the Stands or the Pavilion. Please ensure you do this well away from any buildings.

RUGBY VALUES

This game has in the past not upheld the values of rugby and around 15 years ago it was taken off the calendar. Three years ago it was brought back and with careful management has become an excellent event. We want to ensure that everyone enjoys their experience of Iffley Road and the match on the field. Both Universities and the Rugby teams want to ensure that this fixture can happen every year and we ask you to play your part in this by celebrating and supporting the rugby on show.

ENTRANCE

Please could those with tickets for the West Stand and Standing tickets use the bottom gate on Loverose Way (next to the hockey astroturf), and those with East Stand tickets use the Iffley Road gate. Please also arrive with plenty of time, as the gates will be very busy!

If you have any questions about any of the above, please contact our Operations Manager, Zed, at admin@ourfc.org.
