Game Day Guide: Eels v Bulldogs, Round 1

ROUND ONE FOR ALL

The Eels and the NRL will celebrate a Round One for All which aims to recognise and raise funds for all those that have volunteered, sacrificed or lost so much through the recent natural disasters.

The Salvation Army will be at Bankwest Stadium Thursday night to collect much needed donations for those effected through natural disasters.

A pre-game ceremony will honour volunteers of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.

GETTING TO THE GAME 

More than 25,000 NRL fans are expected to attend the first Eels home game at Bankwest Stadium for the 2020 season. Trains and buses run regularly to Parramatta and the station is a 15 minute walk from the stadium. Match tickets include travel on public transport so leave the car at home as traffic will already be heavy during the busy Thursday evening peak so allow plenty of extra travel time if you have to drive.
