ACL will be getting in a special machine this week to 'lift' the areas to make it even in time for the Boavista game on July 29th and then the first Championship game of the new season against Sunderland on Sunday August 6th at 1.30pm.
That game against Sunderland will be the first time the new "Smart" card scheme will be in use. Supporters are advised to arrive early in case of problems. There will be stewards on each gate as well as reps from the system provider on hand also for the opening six games to help with any issues as they arrive.
