Wagga's Canberra Raiders v Penrith Panthers NRL game day survival guide

But, with about 10,000 people about to descend on the Equex Centre this Saturday, are you prepared to navigate game day?

WHILE driving is an option, you might be best to leave the car at home.

A designated driver, taxi or Uber could be your safest bet with free buses taking people to the CBD after the match.

If you're set on driving, parking will be available at the Exhibition Centre for a gold coin donation to Rotary. However, Copland Street will be closed westbound between 4pm and 6pm.

IF YOU are supporting the Raiders, opt for green, otherwise it is black for Panthers fans - choose wisely.

Wagga's Cignall Tobacconist have been selling flags, scarves, hats and stubbies in the lead up to the game.

They said shoppers are definitely showing a preference for the raiders.

TICKETS are no longer available online, but there are still some around the city.

The Wagga Visitor Information Centre and Oasis Aquatic Centre will be selling tickets until Friday, 5pm.

If you're lucky, there might be leftover tickets available at entry point two on game day.

THERE'S no way to avoid the chill with a top of 19 degrees on Saturday - so don't forget to rug up.

The chance of rain is looking slim, but bringing a rain jacket will not hurt.

IF YOU have not heard already, game day is on Saturday at Wagga's Equex Centre.

The gates will open from 12.30pm with the match starting at 3pm.

PEOPLE are allowed to bring food such as sandwiches, fruit, biscuits and chips from home.

However, the Canberra Raiders' website said that commercialised food such as McDonald's or KFC will not be allowed through the gates.

People could bring drinks such as water, milk or juices, but they must be stored in a plastic container of 600 millilitres or less.

NOT everyone is a die-hard NRL fan, but that does not mean you want to miss out on the action.

For those people who want to enjoy the game from home, the match is available on Fox League.

There is the option to live-stream the game on Foxtel Now. The NRL website also has match replays that could be viewed after the game.
