Pre-match player arrivals

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Bringing my 6 year old with me on Saturday and he wants to see if we can meet some of the players prior to the game and have his pic taken with them/get their autograph. Does anyone know what time the team arrive before kick off? Or is it easier after the match? Any help given will be gratefully received!

They normally start arriving about 2 hours before kick off (Car park next to chapel stand). I often get there around that time to watch the players arrive with my son. It's never very crowded at that time so easy to get aitographs and pictures etc.

 

Have never hung around after the game so can't compare with that.

A big advantage to waiting till after is that they all do come out at a similar time, managed to get one of those new team posters fully signed (except Gaston, damn it). They all come out from the large ambulance (?) gate by the player car park. HTH

Thanks chaps; perfect. Hopefully I'll have one happy little chappy tomorrow having met a few of the team + seen a much needed win too.

Did this with Errol jr last season and we got there about 11 and hung around until about 1 (I think they all have to be in by then). A long wait but the lad got a good haul of autographs and photos with the players and I still managed to get a couple of pints in before the game (albeit at the Alfred) , waiting until the weather's warmer before we do it again though...
