There may be traffic disruption and potential delays in south Belfast on Sunday (10 March) due to a football match.
The League Cup final between Linfield and Portadown will take place at The National Stadium, kicking off at 3pm. The Boucher Road is also a thriving commercial area and will be busy.
Supporters and shoppers are advised to plan their journey in advance, ensuring they leave sufficient travel time as congestion is likely in the area.
A build-up of traffic is to be expected in the M1, Donegall Road, and particularly the Boucher Road areas both before and after the game.
Police would ask that those driving to the match park with consideration for local residents and businesses, and that supporters are respectful and considerate whilst walking through residential streets near the stadium.
The areas around the National Stadium are ‘No Street Drinking’ zones under Belfast City Council by-laws and these by-laws should be complied with at all times.
Police say they hope that the match is enjoyed by everyone and they remind those attending to behave in a manner befitting the reputation of their clubs.
