1. Dungannon Swift Fans travelling to the League Cup Final at the National Stadium (Windsor Park) for the 1730 hours kick-off on Saturday 17th February 2018 are requested to approach the National Stadium from Donegall Avenue/ Great Northern Street Footbridge. Entry to the South Stand will be via the Donegall Avenue Entrance.

3. Those travelling by Bus/ Coach are also requested to approach from Great Northern Street Footbridge. Any coaches/buses should drop off/Collect in the vicinity af Lisburn Rd/Lower Windsor Ave / Eninburgh Street. Buses can lie up in any of the wide streets off the Lisburn Rd i.e Derryvolgie Ave/Windsor Ave if safe to do so and local resident/emergency vehicle assess is not obstructed and fans should make their way on foot to the ground.

4. Those travelling by train should leave the train at Adelaide Halt and move to the Stadium via Great Northern Street and across the footbridge. Route back to Adelaide is the reverse.

It is hoped that a common sense approach to the afternoon will be adopted and the occasion enjoyed by all.
