A spokesman for Legacy Promotions said: “This event is attracting thousands of spectators and to ensure everyone has the best possible time, it’s important for people to take a few minutes to plan ahead.

“A number of ‘no parking’ restrictions will be in place around Ebrington on September 10 (tomorrow).

“There will be increased traffic into and out of the city so everyone is advised to allow extra time for this when travelling.”

The spokesman added that there were restrictions over what can be brought to the site, with searches in operation. Food and drink, chairs, umbrellas, flags, flares, glass and illegal substances will be confiscated. Wearing of sport tops and political emblems is also prohibited.
