FAN ZONE AND MATCH DAY ACTIVITIES
Open from 10am, our Fan Zone can be found in the car park pacing the Odeon Cinema and is free to enter.
James Leslie will be performing live ahead of the game, before we’re joined by DJ Dan to build the atmosphere before we take on Leeds United at 12.30pm – make sure you arrive in plenty of time!
Magic Rock will once again be joined by Burger Burger, El Fuego, Smart Coffee, and Liv’s Bakes ‘n’ Cakes, alongside our Heineken Bar, so you can grab some food and drink before the game!
Food bought within our Fan Zone can be taken into the ground, however, any purchased alcohol must be consumed outside.
Supporters also wishing to purchase a Golden Gamble ticket can do so online, at our retail kiosk in the Fan Zone, or from one of our sellers who can be found in various locations around the John Smith’s Stadium.
SPORTSBROKER HAPPY HOUR!
Between 10am and 11am, supporters can get half-price beer and soft drinks from our Magic Rock Bar in the Fan Zone.
Supported by our friends at SportsBroker, the bar is located towards the back of the Fan Zone near our Town retail kiosk.
‘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.

COMMUNITY HUB
Located opposite the Legends Bar and Café, our Community Hub is home to table football, PlayStations, and colouring areas.
Open from 10am, the Community Hub features a balloon modeller and face painter to make sure your Young Terriers look the part when cheering on Town!
Available to under 18s only, children must be accompanied by an adult to gain entry.
Please note: Our Community Hub is an activity zone and not a retail space. For all other retail items – clothing, replica shirts, and training wear – please visit the Club Shop situated next to the Ticket Office, or, alternatively, the dedicated retail unit in the Fan Zone.
