THURSDAY night sees Port Adelaide host Collingwood at the Adelaide Oval in an important clash for both sides.

The game will have added significance as the club pays tribute to previous assistant coach, life member and friend, the late Phil Walsh.

It’s the first time Port Adelaide will play since the tragic passing of Phil, and out of respect the club has significantly scaled back all game day entertainment and pre-match activities.

Commemorative proceedings, including tributes and a minute’s silence, will take place to honour Phil’s contribution to the football community and pay respect to the Walsh family.

All the information you need to know is in our Ultimate Game day Guide.

The club recommends general admission members arrive early to avoid disappointment.

We’ll have a team of volunteers dressed in white called Clipsal PowerPoint volunteers stationed inside and outside the ground to help you find your way around.

They can help you find your seat, find the closest toilet or find a spot to get a drink.
