Travel Update for Match at Firhill Stadium
Queen’s Park have kindly provided the following travel advice for supporters attending this weekend’s match at Firhill Stadium:
The club advise all supporters intending to travel to Firhill to see this Saturday’s game with East Fife to use public transport if possible.
With Glasgow hosting COP 26, planned road closures will mean the M8 and city centre roads will be busier than usual. In addition, scheduled marches and demonstrations may mean road traffic could be subject to disruption and delay.
If you can, leave the car at home and use trains to either Central or Queen Street stations, and then the Glasgow Subway to St George’s Cross.
Fans can then take the 25-minute walk up Maryhill Road to the stadium… with an optional pit stop enroute at a local café/pub if required!
We appreciate the combination of public transport and walking may not be suitable for all, so if you have to take the car the following sites have plenty of useful information: the COP 26 Transport Plan and Road Closures. Please listen out for traffic updates on TV/radio/online and be aware motorways could be closed for spells at any time to allow delegates to travel to the COP 26 venue. Please leave extra time for your journey to Firhill.
To avoid congestion at the stadium, please buy your match tickets in advance. These are only available online here and note, there will be no pay at the gate facility.
