It is a great way to get a bit of a sneak peek at these rock star players, and your first glimpse at the new HC, Vlatko. Yes, I know we have shown many photos of him already but not in action. Admission and parking are both gratis, with doors opening at 4:30 via the East Club Gate North for sections 37 & 38, opposite the bench side.
