On Easter Monday, Bristol Manor Farm’s attention will turn to what’s set to be an emotional afternoon at The Creek, as Lee Lashenko takes charge of his final home game against promotion-chasing Yate Town.
Unlike The Farm, Yate can’t afford any slip-ups. The former runaway leaders now sit second, behind Evesham on goal difference, despite their 4-2 win on Good Friday, with Evesham soundly defeating Didcot Town 3-0 on Saturday.
We know this game is hugely important for a number of reasons, and ahead of this exhilarating Bristol derby, we’ve put together the following information.
CAR PARKING
Parking at The NL Services Stadium will be extremely limited. We strongly encourage supporters to arrive as early as possible if they wish to use the limited spaces available. Please note that priority parking will be given to players, staff, and match officials from Bristol Manor Farm, Yate Town, and the FA.
As an alternative, we recommend traveling by train to Sea Mills Station, which is just a 5-minute walk from the ground. Trains typically run every 30 minutes, but as it’s a bank holiday, we advise checking the schedule 24 hours in advance to avoid any disruption.
TURNSTILES
With a record league attendance expected, two turnstiles will be in operation to ensure a smooth and efficient entry. Supporters can pay using cash or card.
OUTSIDE BAR
To help reduce queues at the Social Club, an outside can bar will be available next to the changing rooms, serving a range of alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and soft drinks. Supporters can pay using cash or card.
FOOD & REFRESHMENTS
The popular ‘Chargrilled’ burger van will be serving up burgers, chips, hot dogs, and more. Additionally, the Serving Hatch will be offering pies and pasties from the renowned Clark’s Pies of North Street. Supporters can pay using cash or card.
EXTENDED MATCHDAY PROGRAMME, RAFFLES & MORE
Editor Stephen Barnes has produced a special extended edition of the ‘One Laz Time’ matchday programme to honour long-serving manager Le, who takes to the Creek dugout for the final time.
This commemorative issue features bonus content including Stephen’s end-of-season review The Final Whistle, and Kevin O’Donohoe’s look back on the Lashenko era in The Dream That Dared to Live.
