What's On at the Diwali Matchday as Blues Women Face Tottenham Hotspur
This Sunday, St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park welcomes Tottenham Hotspur for another Barclays Women’s Super League fixture.
There’s plenty for supporters to look forward to both on and off the pitch. As part of our Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas celebrations, supporters will be able to enjoy Bhangra dancing and Dhol drumming in the Fan Zone before the game, as well as a special pitch-side performance at half-time.
We will also have Ranv's Rasoi serving traditional North Indian and Punjabi dishes in the Kop, giving supporters the opportunity to enjoy authentic cuisine as part of the day’s celebrations. A complimentary henna artist and face painter will also be available, giving supporters the chance to add an extra splash of colour and creativity to their matchday experience while recognising the significance of these important occasions and celebrating the diverse communities that make up our fanbase.
There will be plenty to enjoy from 12pm, so arrive early, soak up the pre-match atmosphere and get behind the Blues as they take to the pitch for a 2pm kick-off.
Tickets for the fixture can be purchased here or from the Kop Ticket Office on matchday. The Fan Zone, The Homeground and Box2Box will be open from 12pm and can be accessed once supporters have entered the stadium through the turnstiles. Please note that these areas are exclusively available to supporters with a match ticket.
Supporters should enter the stadium via Turnstiles 23, 24, 25 and 26, located next to the Ticket Office. Once inside, supporters will be able to walk through Box2Box to access both the Fan Zone and The Homeground.
Player Arrival Moment
We're giving both home and away supporters the chance to get closer to the action and welcome both teams as they arrive at the stadium ahead of kick-off!
Head to the area opposite the Ticket Office on the Kop side of the stadium for 12.10pm where both the Birmingham City and Tottenham Hotspur teams will walk along our new player arrival route, giving you the chance to interact with the players ahead of the game.
Bring the energy, make some noise, and give both teams the welcome they deserve as they make their way into the stadium.
