It is Witton Albion’s intention to ensure that supporters of both clubs can enjoy their day in as comfortable environment as possible, however safety is their primary concern, but they also recognise the need to give respective team(s) maximum support during the game. Previous meetings between the two clubs have demonstrated that both sets of supporters are able to meet in a friendly manner and mix well, and in view of this there will be no crowd segregation.

However, for ease of access FC United supporters are required to enter the ground via the Wincham end of the ground. All turnstiles will be suitably marked.

Free movement of supporters will be allowed inside the ground.

While there will be free access to the seating area (except where cordoned off), if any supporter is specifically in need of a seat at the game, then they should contact the Club (Witton Albion) by writing to secretary@wittonalbion.com no less than 24 hours before the game and a seat will be reserved in a specified area.

The turnstiles will be open from 1.30pm but once inside the ground there will be no entry into the social club until after the game has commenced.

Tea bars at both ends of the ground will be open upon entry.

The Bar/Social Club:

The clubhouse will be open to all supporters from noon, when access will be from the external doors only, and the bar will close at precisely 2.30pm in order to allow for supporters to finish their drinks and to allow them sufficient time to enter the ground.

There will be no entry into the ground from the clubhouse prior to kick-off and there will be no external entry into the clubhouse until after the game has ended.

The bar will be open at half-time to all supporters, but once the Safety Officer has determined that the social club is full, no further entry will be permitted, irrespective of which club the supporter Is from.

Travel

The coach will depart from Chorlton Street in Manchester City Centre (next to the Britannia Hotel) at 12:00 noon.
