What are the matchday arrangements for Falkirk fans?
Supporters making the journey to Dundee will be accommodated in the Norman Jamieson Stand. The stadium operates a cashless policy inside the CalForth Construction Arena, so fans should be prepared with card payments for any purchases within the ground. The Club Shop and Ticket Office will continue to accept both cash and card, however. Selected turnstiles in the home end open at 1pm, with all remaining turnstiles opening at 2pm.
Alcohol sales are controlled and will operate in the home sections only, specifically in the George Fox and Eddie Thompson Stand concourses. These bar facilities close at 2.30pm. Purchasers must be 18 or over, and consumption is restricted to the licensed concourse areas and is not permitted in the stadium seating deck. The club has issued a strong warning regarding supporter conduct, noting that using pyrotechnics or entering the field of play are criminal offences. Even possession of an unlit device in a public place is an offence, and Police Scotland will arrest anyone identified with a pyrotechnic, which may lead to a Football Banning Order. Stewards and police will also prevent entry to anyone found with such items, and they may face a club ban. Full face masks or balaclavas are not permitted, and over-intoxicated persons will be refused entry.
How can fans follow the match live?
For those not traveling, DUTV will stream the match live. Audio commentary will be available in the UK and Ireland, beginning at 2.30pm.
