It reads: "The information has been shared to ensure the smoothest of operations allowing everyone to enjoy the event as much as possible whilst keeping disruption to a minimum for our friends and neighbours.

"Residential Location – As our ground is located in the middle of a residential estate, we ask all spectators to respect our neighbours at all times when travelling to and from the ground before and after the game.

"Travelling to the game – The site has limited car parking itself and very few spaces outside the ground on North & South Drive (Ground Side), therefore we urge spectators for both teams to utilise public transport or taxis to get to the ground wherever possible.

"We are a short walk away from Hebburn Metro station and the large Hebburn Shopping Centre car park.
