Fans urged to leave additional travel time for Celtic Park

Aberdeen supporters travelling to Glasgow tomorrow for the SPFL clash with Celtic are strongly advised to allow additional time for their journey due to ongoing preparatory work in the vicinity of the stadium ahead of next summer’s Commonwealth Games.

A Pittodrie spokesperson commented. “We would encourage fans to leave at least half an hour’s extra time to get to Celtic Park as there are significant challenges in both getting to the ground and also parking, as detailed below.

“With this being the largest number of supporters we have taken to Celtic for some time, the Red Army has the potential to really make a difference at tomorrow’s match and the Club wishes all those attending to get right behind the team and represent the Club in a positive way.

“As tomorrow’s game is the first major event to be staged with the new restrictions in force, there are undoubtedly going to be problems encountered and patience will be most certainly the order of the day!”

Restrictions in force tomorrow are as follows –

There will be no access to London Road for vehicles coming in from the south of the city but access from the north will be as normal.

There will be no facilities for car parking in the usual public car park.

Supporters’ buses will be parked as normal on Springfield Road.

It should also be noted there is an event tomorrow at the nearby Sir Chris Foy Velodrome which is also likely to compound the parking challenges.
