Linfield v Newry City - Preview

 

IT will be a free day for Linfield fans when they make their way to Windsor Park on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors are hopeful of breaking their way into the top four of the table this season and have made some significant advances with the signings of keeper Paul Murphy (Ballymena Utd) and defender Ross Black (Larne).

Free Admission This Saturday

 

Linfield have announced that admission to this Saturdays JJB Premiership Game with Newry City will be free for both sets of supporters. The decision was taken in response to the abandonment of last weeks Cliftonville match. A decision on when to replay the game is proving difficult with the upcoming Sentanta Cup games and Linfield have acted quickly to ensure their supporters who were inconvenienced are not out of pocket. Linfield are also working with Cliftonville in the hope of coming of an arrangement with Reds fans who attended the game.
