Crystal Palace supporters attending Thursday’s UEFA Europa League fixture against HSG Hoffenheim will be able to enter Selhurst Park from 16:15 GMT, 90 minutes before the scheduled 17:45 kick-off.
The later stadium opening is linked to the early evening start, nearby road closures and the timing of local school and business closures. Palace expects a significant number of supporters to arrive later than usual as a result.
Fans who can reach the stadium early are encouraged to do so in order to reduce the likelihood of queues. The club’s Fanzone will also be open from 16:15, giving supporters the opportunity to enjoy the build-up around Selhurst Park before the match.
Those attending via a Premium Matchday Experience will have access to their experience from two hours before kick-off. The lounges will remain open until two hours after the final whistle.
