Croke Park – what you need to know ahead of Saturday’s replay

THE All-Ireland Football Final replay will take place this Saturday, October 1. If you have been lucky enough to secure a ticket to the big game, here’s what gardaí want Dublin and Mayo fans to know.

• Heed the advice from gardaí and stewards on Jones’ Road after the match. Failure to take this instruction and follow a directed route will put you and others at risk.

• Do not arrange a meeting point on Jones’ Road after the match; instead meet outside the Garda cordon. There will be strictly no entry onto Jones’ Road from Clonliffe Road and North Circular Road for 30 minutes after the match ends.

• The only patrons that will be allowed onto Jones’ Road are ticket holders for the Hogan Stand, Hogan Premium & Nally Terrace.

• Patrons exiting the stadium at Russell Street Bridge will be directed to turn left for Gills Junction (North Circular Road) and no right turn will be permitted.

• Patrons exiting the Nally Terrace & G turnstiles of the Hogan Stand must turn right towards Clonliffe Road.

• If parked in Clonliffe College carpark, please remain in the stadium, if possible. Cars will not be permitted out of Clonliffe College carpark until 45 minutes after the game.

Patrons availing of this advice are likely to stay safe and will avoid delays in travelling home after the match. Gardaí are asking for the public’s assistance and cooperation with the traffic management plan so all fans will have a great day.
