FAN ZONE + MATCH DAY ACTIVITIES
Supporters can get ready for this afternoon’s Boxing Day fixture in our Fan Zone, where the Big Screen will be showing the early kick-off as Preston North End host Leeds United.
With our Magic Rock and Heineken bars joined by Burger Burger (who accept cash!), El Fuego and Smart Coffee, you will once again be able to take advantage of our Happy Hour from opening at noon through to 1.30pm, making pints £3 and reducing the cost of soft drinks, too!
Younger supporters can get involved with balloon modelling, face painting, gaming, table football, colouring in and more in our Community Hub, with Terry the Terrier also around before the game for a high five and a selfie! The space is available to under 18s only, and children must be accompanied by an adult to gain entry.
Weather permitting, our football inflatables will also be out by the Core Stand Lower Tier, with members of the First Team squad not involved in the game making an appearance outside the Community Hub.

'CHALLENGE 25' IN EFFECT AT THE JOHN SMITH'S STADIUM
Supporters are reminded that we operate the Challenge 25 policy at the John Smith's Stadium for all supporters purchasing and drinking alcohol across both our Fan Zone and stadium concourses.
Should you be fortunate enough to look under 25, please do not be offended when asked and be prepared to show your photographic identification as proof of your date of birth.
Underage drinking, and supplying minors with alcohol, is a crime, and will not be tolerated at the John Smith's Stadium.
Challenge 25 is a retailing strategy that encourages anyone who is over 18 but looks under 25 to carry acceptable ID (a card bearing the PASS hologram, a photographic driving license or a passport) if they wish to buy alcohol.
