2. For your convenience five new bars have opened in the stadium:

  • Memorial End - The Line Out and The Scrum offer a full bar service and being opposite the Food Village offer fans a great place to meet pre match.
  • The Back Line - Bar and family concession stand, offers easy access for those in the East Terrace and Family stand looking for a drink or snack.
  • The Shed - Aquinas Gate is a PET (Plastic Bottle) bar only. This bar offers easy access and a quick turnaround for those wanting to get their spot on the West Terrace. 400ml PET Heineken bottles are priced at £4.00 each.
  • Food Village - A PET bottle bar is also situated in middle of the Food Village.
  • From next season an additional bar with a 2000 fan capacity will be situated in the Grand Stand.

  • 3. Ravenhill is known as 'Fortress Ravenhill' for its ability to create an electric but fair atmosphere for the opposition. Our general rules of thumb are:

  • Raise the Ravenhill Roar
  • Silence at all kicks
  • Please respect the referee and our opponents (no booing or geering)

  • 4. Redevelopment - Areas of the ground are still under construction. The steelwork for the Grandstand began this week. Thank you to all of our patrons for their understanding during this on-going construction period which will see the ground fully developed to a capacity of over 18,000 in May 2014.

    5. Match programmes are available from all main entry points into the stadium and there are also mobile sellers in the bars and stands.
