THE IFA have contacted Ballymena United regarding two seperate issues in relation to Saturday's Irish Cup semi-final that supporters may wish to take note of.

EXTRA-TIME

"In light of the extenuating circumstances this season the Challenge Cup Committee has determined that in the event of the JJB Sports Irish Cup Semi Finals resulting in a draw after 90 minutes the tie will be played to a finish with extra time of fifteen minutes each way and penalty kicks if necessary."

PARKING

"It was agreed that Ballymena United supporters buses should drop fans off at the top of Lower Windsor Avenue on the Lisburn Road and the PSNI would ensure that areas are coned off for this purpose. In terms of car parking Ballymena United fans are asked to park on the Lisburn Road side of the ground. There will be no car parking in the Donegall Avenue Forecourt behind the Railway Stand as this area will be sterile with ticket checks and searching taking place."
