The club has uploaded an information sheet for visitors: http://tauntontown.com/Docs/TTFC%20Barr ... 0sheet.pdf.

There will be three turnstiles in operation. If everyone takes 5 seconds to present their ticket, then it will be a solid stream for 63 minutes to get everybody in. The latest you can arrive to mathematically guarantee entry before kick-off is therefore 1 pm. Fortunately, the gates open at 11 am, there will be 3 bars and 2 food outlets, and the clubhouse has TV. Recommend you get there early!

:skill: :skill: :skill: :skill:
That's going to be difficult - our coaches are due to arrive between 12-12.30. That could give us just 1/2 an hour to have a pint before we start queuing up at the turnstiles! :cry:

I was hoping to arrive at 12.00 and have an hour and a half for a few pints and a quick look around your town - before entering the queue at 1.30. Let's just hope there's many who'll travel by car/train and enter the ground early. Can't see it happening though...

You can go in early and have a pint from one of the three bars (one by Quantock Brewery) inside the ground mentioned in the factsheet (though not in view of the pitch).

Found this on the BBC's Youtube channel, whether this will allow those of us not in the UK to watch the BBC's Final Score programme on Sunday, am unsure.
