MATCHDAY SECURITY AND SEARCHING

Matchday (turnstiles open)

At least two stewards are placed outside each entrance with the responsibility of searching any bags brought into the stadium. In addition to this, stewards are briefed to randomly search supporters and in particular tap down supporters with bulky jackets.

Please note that all supporters will be asked to open their jackets/ coats.

Pyrotechnics

All 72 EFL clubs have signed up to a new Chairman’s Charter to help put an end to the dangerous use of pyrotechnics, which include smoke bombs, flares, and fireworks within EFL football grounds.

In conjunction with police forces around the country, EFL clubs will take strong and decisive action against any fan found attempting to bring a banned item into a ground.

The same will apply to supporters who choose to discharge pyrotechnics within a stadium environment. Police should be informed of such incidents and consideration given to a prosecution and subsequent banning order, where sufficient evidence is forthcoming of a criminal offence.

Any supporter found to be in breach of the terms of the charter will face a minimum three-season club ban. Clubs will be permitted the flexibility to reduce the length of the Club ban should an offender recognise the danger of their actions.

THE RAILWAYMEN BAR & LOUNGE

The Railwaymen Bar & Lounge can be found adjacent to the Whitby Morrison Stand and opens from 12noon for Saturday fixtures and 5.30pm for evening games, showing live Football from BT and Sky Sports.
