Matchdays

[davef]

Hi,
Just a few reminders to help make matchdays better for everyone:-

• Please try to arrive earlier for games and avoid the rush at ten minutes to kick-off
• If you do not already have a match ticket and need to buy one, please aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before kick-off
• If you do have a match ticket or ST, remember that it might be quicker to use the new turnstiles from the Rec.
• Our bars are open to home supporters before and after the game (just not at half-time) [yesterday's closure of the MBA was a one-off to prepare for an evening function]

And thank you for observing the rules around standing at the pitch fence yesterday.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but has our policy on dogs inside the stadium on match days changed since our promotion?

[davef]

Yes. Dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not permitted.
Shame, as I quite liked taking mine from time to time.

While we're on a similar topic, I've assumed my children can't bring their scooters in any more either. Is this correct?

[davef]

'fraid so. With more people in the ground we need to exercise more caution.

Hi David, I understand the closure of the bars at half time, why is the VPs lounge open and able to sell alcohol to the privileged few who sit in the centre of the stand. The room should open for light refreshments only at HT. There are other VIPs who chose not to sit in that part of the ground who are not able to use that facility, for which they’ve paid.

Surely that's your choice? I am a VP but I don't think I've ever used the h-t facilities; my choice.
