Half-Time Drink Tokens
Drink tokens have now been introduced to the Sir Tom Finney Stand, meaning all supporters in this area, as well as the Alan Kelly Town End and Invincibles Pavilion, can pre-purchase their half-time alcoholic refreshments.
Supporters can go to any kiosks in these stands at any time prior to kick-off, and pre-order and pay for their alcoholic drinks for half-time. Fans will receive a token in return at this point, which they can present at half-time at the designated collection points.
Supporters in the Invincibles Pavilion can collect from Kiosk 7i, located on the right side of the concourse near the Kop.
There are two collection points in the Alan Kelly Town End: collection point green, which is located next to the central stairwell, and collection point yellow, which is located at the beer bar between the two double kiosks.
Fans in the Sir Tom Finney Stand can also get their drink tokens, either from collection point purple, which is located at the south side of the stand, or from collection point white at the north side.
Refreshments Service For Disabled Supporters
Disabled supporters situated on the disabled platforms and on the front row of each stand can place orders before the match for half-time.
Members of staff from Heathcote&Co will come to these supporters to place orders – to be made by card payment – and the orders will be delivered shortly before half-time.
Please note, this service excludes alcohol sales due to no alcoholic beverages being allowed inside the stadium bowl.

As you will have seen at the opening home game of the season, hundreds of flags were introduced at Deepdale on the Alan Kelly Town End.
This will continue throughout the season, and supporters are welcomed and encouraged to take part where they can, with bins full of flags available on the Town End concourse, and in the Bill Shankly Kop for this fixture.
It is essential that these flags are returned to where they were picked up from as these are for use throughout the season. Please do not leave the ground with any of the flags.
