Copenhagen plays their fixtures at the Parken Stadium, which is the
Danish National Stadium. Our UEFA Cup fixture will be their first
competitive game following their winter break.
The stadium is
located in the City of Copenhagen and is a twenty five minute drive
from the airport. Trains run every 20 minutes from Copenhagen’s central
station to Osterport station close to the stadium. It is an approximate
30 minutes walk from the City centre.
One end of the stadium is
undergoing extensive alteration and as a result the stand behind one of
the goals will not be in use. As a consequence the capacity of the
stadium has been reduced to 33,700. Our allocation is 1,900. Kick off
will be at 8.05pm local time (7.05pm GMT)
Further details of the stadium can be obtained on the FC Copenhagen web site www.fck.dk/english/news.
The site also has a map of the stadium together with a link to the Parken web site.
City
fans will be located in A Stand (Tribune Ovre A on ticket) on the Upper
tier and will enter through entrance A11 (Sektion A11 Udehold on
ticket). Please note that this entrance has only two turnstiles.
Supporters will enter a sterile area before the turnstiles where they
can expect to be subject of searches and ticket checks. They will then
be allowed to the turnstiles. Manchester City stewards will be at the
turnstiles to assist our fans. The turnstiles will open at 6.30pm.
Once through the turnstiles there are approximately five flights of stairs to climb (Ed.: not quite as bad as at Newcastle, but you get the picture!).
Access is gained to the seating area at the top of the stairs. All
seating is unreserved. The area reserved for City fans is quite steep
and it is recommended that supporters arrive in plenty of time.
The
refreshment area is small, and male and female toilets are contained
near this area. There is an additional male toilet which can be
accessed directly from the stairs and is signed ‘Kun Pissoir’ and has a
picture of a male. (MCFC.co.uk did not write this!!!)
It
is forbidden to sell alcohol at UEFA games, so soft drinks and non
alcoholic beer will be available in the refreshment area. The only
currency accepted will be Danish Kroner.
The police have intimated that City supporters will be asked to stay behind after the game for a short period
FC
Copenhagen has a Club shop at the corner of the Fona stand and the
stand under construction; replica shirts and scarves are very expensive.
There will be no programmes on sale for this game.
There are numerous pubs and eating places in Copenhagen. Please visit www.copenhagen.com for further details.
You should ensure that you have warm clothing as it is very cold in Copenhagen at this time of year.
