We needed to come up with a solution which satisfies the safety requirements of being an EFL club but also supports our fans in being able to enjoy the facilities our ground has to offer. The DK Services Fan Bar is already massively popular on a matchday. We’ve got some exciting plans for the bar moving forward and we’re delighted that Danny and his company will be a big part of this.”

During our discussions there has been a great understanding that Holker Street is a fairly unique ground, which is why we’re one of very few EFL clubs that is moving its perimeter during a matchday to support fans.”We’ve worked really hard over the last few months behind the scenes,” said Bluebirds Trust Director, Steve Herbert, who will be available in the Fan Zone area for Saturday’s game as part of our SLO team which will be there to answer any of your questions.

The name of DK Services will now feature in the new title of the Fan Bar, as well as appearing around the area. It’s really pleasing that the Safety at Ground (SAG) officials have agreed that, subject to certain strict conditions, home fans will be able to move around the ground at certain times.
