Alternative car parking arrangements for players and officials have been made at sites near to the Marine Travel Arena.
Merseyside Police and Sefton Council have been consulted with regards to the match arrangements for this high-profile game. There will be no re-admittance of spectators throughout the game, including half time.
Marine have won their nine home league games so far this season and are currently seven points clear at the top of the NPL West table. Marine last played Bootle in a league game in season 1951/52, in the Lancashire Combination.
Marine Chairman Paul Leary said:
“These are amazing times at Marine as we continue to benefit from a huge increase in support. Our average attendance this season is 1,041 with a total of 15,608 attending the 15 games in all competitions. I am really looking forward to this record-breaking game and to having a full house at the Marine Travel Arena. I have no doubt it will be a cracker of a contest and will be played in a fantastic atmosphere. It will be a great day for both sets of fans, and I urge supporters to arrive as early as possible to ease congestion at the turnstiles.”
Paul Leary added:
“I look forward to welcoming the players, staff, officials and supporters of Bootle FC to the Marine Travel Arena.”
