Police in Northern Ireland are advising motorists and football fans to plan their journeys in advance ahead of the Europa Conference League match between Larne FC and KAA Gent. The match, taking place at Windsor Park, is expected to draw around 2,000 spectators and cause congestion in surrounding areas.
Police have issued traffic and travel advice for road users ahead of the Europa Conference League football match between Larne FC and KAA Gent (Belgium) later this week. The UEFA Conference League match on Thursday, 19th December will take place at The National Stadium at Windsor Park, kicking off at 8pm, and approximately 2,000 supporters are expected to attend. The PSNI says Boucher Road will also be particularly busy due Christmas shoppers frequenting the area.
Football supporters, commuters and shoppers are advised to plan their journey in advance, ensuring they leave sufficient travel time as congestion is likely in the area. A build-up of traffic is to be expected in the Shaftesbury Square, Lisburn Road and Donegall Road areas of South Belfast, as well as the M1 and Boucher Road areas both before and after the game. In a message to commuters and supporters ahead of the match, a PSNI spokesperson added: 'We would ask that those driving to the match park with consideration for local residents and businesses, and that supporters are respectful and considerate whilst walking through residential streets convenient to the stadium. 'The areas around the National Stadium are ‘No Street Drinking’ zones under Belfast City Council by-laws, and these 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.
