BARS AND FOOD

There are a total of 5 bars at Broadhurst Park.

Home supporters will have access to all bars and food provision.

Alcohol will not be served in the away end, but food and soft drinks will be available.

The club has been granted a licence to serve alcohol throughout the match and fans will now be allowed to drink alcohol on the terraces from plastic glasses. As a result all drinks will now be served in plastic glasses.

The Main Stand Function Room Bar will serve hot food together with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks before, during and after the match. We ask that fans purchasing alcohol in the Main Stand Bar during the game do not congregate at the back of the Main Stand, but instead find a position in the seats or terraces.

Before the turnstiles open, access to the Main Stand Function Room Bar is via the main reception by payment of the match admission price. After the turnstiles open, entry to the function room will be via turnstiles 1-6 and then through the seated area of the Main Stand.

The SMRE Bar situated under the large St. Mary’s Road End terrace will serve draught beer and bottles before the match, throughout the match and at half time. Only drinks served in plastic glasses will be allowed to be taken into the stands.

Our Cask Ale Bar situated under the Main Stand, behind the Paddock, will sell a selection of ales. Opposite the Cask Bar the Food Bar will serve hot food prepared by our chef, pies from HM Pasties and non-alcoholic drinks.

In view of the pitch we have a Bar between the Main Stand and SMRE which serves draught bitter and lager

We also have a Bar situated in the North Stand (opposite the Main Stand) next to the Burger Van.

Please note the Main Stand Bar and SMRE Bars are No Smoking Areas. Supporters wishing to smoke at half-time can do so in the designated areas in the corners of the ground.

POUND FOR THE GROUND TICKETS

We are still raising money for the club’s Development Fund as there are parts of the ground we need to complete. The quickest and easiest way is to buy a Pound for the Ground ticket at £1 each at the match with cash prize of £250 on offer.
