Player autographs pre-match (1 Viewer)

My lad has asked me if one of the Saturday games we can get to the ground earlier and try and get some autographs when the players arrive at the ground - I was thinking to try to do this for the Oxford game.

As we're normally in the pub until about 45 mins before kick off, I have no idea what time they arrive, how accessible they are, and even which entrance they use (I was assuming it was the one by the Jimmy Hill statue?).

Can anyone who has done this before give me a bit of guidance please

Thanks in advance

I think they've stopped giving autographs/photos before, afterwards is no problem, but the club want the players fully focused before games.

Aah bugger. Do you know how we go about finding them after the game?

Marty said:

Outside the club shop they have barriers set up. The players are usually pretty good and make the effort to get around everyone. So don't think you need to be right near the players exit.

Great thanks

One last question, what time roughly do they come out say for a 3pm kick off? 6pm ish?

Marty said:

Usually 17:30 - 18:00 for most players, some may possibly be later if they have to do the rounds for interviews in the lounges etc.

Brill thanks Marty, that's spot on
