COVID-19 GROUND INFORMATION FOR AWAY SUPPORTERS
To help visitors to Hayden Road, here is information as what to expect as we operate and steward strictly under COVID-19 regulations and guidelines.
✔ On arrival at the ground you will find our main turnstiles on Hayden Road.
Stewards will ensure social distancing is maintained in queues to enter the ground.
✔ You may be temperature checked before entry – this is precautionary – no personal records are kept.
✔ Programmes (priced £2.50) and Raffle Tickets will be on sale to your left on entry. Cash only but please note no change can be given.
✔ We operate a one-way system around the ground from the main turnstiles. You must turn right on entry following the directional signs.
✔ External Toilets are on the right soon after you join the one-way system. Toilets are also available in the Club House at the other end of the ground.
✔ FIVE Minutes after Kick Off, we will permit two-way traffic between the Dug Outs (cricket side) and the Peter de Banke Exit gate. The rest of the ground remains oneway.
✔ Spectators will be permitted to exit the Peter de Banke exit gate and walk down to the Turnstile exit gate to return into the stadium to re-join the one-way system. This allows spectators to use the external toilets. No readmittance will be permitted if spectators leave the designated route for any reason.
✔ The clubhouse including internal toilets from the Peter de Banke end should be accessed using the one-way system.
✔ Please note:
o No unauthorised entry in the red zone other than walking route in front of the Main Stand.
o The Peter De Banke is restricted to standing at the barrier – the steps are out of use.
o Seating stands have restricted use, with rows marked when not in use including gang way seats.
o Terracing will either be marked with blue paint at 1m intervals to signify in use or steps marked in red when not in use. This is to maintain social distancing.
o No standing in any areas marked in yellow (on barrier or floor).
✔ A Burger Food stall will be open at the Peter de Banke End. Dales Bar will also be open for hot drinks. The Club Shop is closed for the time being.
✔ We are trying to remain cashless as far as possible or take mitigating steps as necessary. Please be aware of the following:
