New security procedures In light of a recent security review we would like to advise fans the club will be taking a proactive approach to supporter safety and we ask that all fans are patient and comply with stewards' requests when entering, once inside and on leaving the stadium.

We would also strongly advise that you arrive at the stadium at least 30–45 minutes earlier than usual. Please note, security WILL NOT be reduced or compromised in the event of queues forming to clear security.Please ensure all coats and jackets are open and ready to be searched, and we would advise avoiding bringing any bags with you to the stadium unless it is absolutely necessary, as this may slow your entry, and that of other supporters, to the stadium.
