Whilst there is no statutory legislation relating to the age of spectators entering a football ground it seems prudent that the club should have guidance relating to this as part of its written Safety Policy. The following guidelines will be appended to said policy under Section C - Safety Objectives, specifically: C3 Crowd management.

• - The minimum age for unsupervised entry to the football ground is 13 years of age.

• - Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

• - Children under the age of 5 years may be admitted to the ground at the discretion of the Safety Officer and upon the Parent/Guardian obtaining a match day ticket or season ticket. All children under the age of seven are admitted free of charge.  Ticket must be obtained from the ticket office prior to entry.

• - Any person seeking entry to the ground through a turnstile with a child under the age of 5 years (or appearing to be under the age of 5) - the turnstile operator or Safety Steward outside the ground will inform a Supervisory Safety Steward that they have a person with a child under 5 years of age seeking entry to the ground.

• - The Supervisor will contact the Safety Officer for permission to enter and to make arrangements for safe seating. Entry will only be allowed after this contact has been made and a seating position has been allocated.

• - Other entry situations: If a member of the club playing or other staff wishes to bring children under the age of 5 years into the ground on a match day they should inform the Safety officer of their intent to do this and the location of said under 5's.

• - The Safety Officer will ensure that children under the age of 5 years are recorded in the match day attendance log.
  
  
• In a recent change of policy ahead of the new season, if you applied for a Season Ticket and wish to bring a child under the age of five, we are more than happy to allocate them, a Season Ticket form here on in.
