We will be vacating the stand, one block at a time commencing with the block nearest to the away end. Please do not start to leave until you have been directed to do so by Stewards. To do so will give the impression to those watching that we do not have the Jack Doherty Stand properly controlled and will go against us.

If you intend, attending as a family bubble, please arrive as a group. It will enable us to keep you together as a group.

If you are in the Old Shed Zone 6, please consider wearing a waterproof coat and bring an umbrella in the event that it rains. We will not be able to allow you to move into any of the covered areas.
