Police say there are in excess of 5,000 supporters expected to attend Thursday's match.

Road users are advised to anticipate some traffic disruption and plan for potential delays in south Belfast on Thursday, 24th October due to a football match between Larne and Shamrock Rovers.

In a message to commuters and supporters ahead of the match, a PSNI spokesperson added: "Boucher Road is also a thriving commercial area and will be busy with members of the public frequenting the area. Supporters and shoppers are advised to plan their journey in advance, ensuring they leave sufficient travel time as congestion is likely in the area.

"The areas around the National Stadium are ‘No Street Drinking’ zones under Belfast City Council by-laws and these by-laws should be complied with at all times. We hope that the match is enjoyed by all and would remind those attending to behave in a manner befitting the reputation of their teams."
