The RFL have asked the Dons to publish the following information for Sunday's Grand Final:

Unauthorised persons are strictly forbidden from entering the field of play at any time. Anyone doing so will be removed from the ground.

All spectators entering the stadium are admitted subject to the understanding that they may be required to submit to a search to prevent dangerous items being brought into the ground which might be used to cause injury or damage to other people of property.

The obstructing of gangways, access ways, exits and entrances, stairways and such like is strictly forbidden

With the exception of authorised press representatives holding official passes, the taking of photographs or cine/video photography inside the ground is prohibited.

The stadium operates a rigorous Challenge 21 alcohol policy. ID will be required if purchaser looks under 25.

Alcoholic drinks, purchased at the Stadium, are allowed to be taken into the stadium bowl

There are bars in the concourse under all four sections of the stadium

NB: All streets in the Warrington Borough area are alcohol free zones. Alcohol is not allowed to be taken outside pubs or consumed outdoors. Any one seen to be consuming alcohol outdoors will have it confiscated by the Police.

That's me shafted then.


Why don't they crawl back under their political correct desks and DIE!!!!!

Thou shalt not enjoy thyself and thou shalt not even breathe!!!!
Pr/cks!


My dress sense is shoite, I think this is victimisation!

bl00dy hell , a rugby match in colditz, can i take my ventolin inhaler , or will they remove it as i might possibly conceivably in all probability attach an air horn to it.

my favourite one is about need a fire certificate for a flag

On the bright side it should be a drum free zone

Made me smile too.

I'm also amused by the idea that if a match ball lands anywhere near you at any point, strictly speaking you can't throw it back towards the playing area as 'The throwing of any object or objects within the grounds is strictly forbidden'.

I think this aimed at us and Seagulls who are not used to playing in a stadium of the calibre of Halliwell Jones.

Can cr*p and offensive reffing also be banned? As that is the biggest threat to ruining any game.

It's a pity the security wasn't so tight in the car park when some poor soul from Halifax was half kicked to death by some lowlife from Fev the other year. Nothing happened and it was all forgotten about. I can't imagine how no one saw it happen.

At a lot of the televised games I have watched there is a lot of people dressed as an empty seat.

your seeing them just after the crowd have been ejected for looking like they may be alive

Are sponge fingers allowed, both the Mr Kipling and foam hand variety??? Maybe this will confuse the RFL who may need to put up notices at both the food bar concession units and merchandise stands to state their intentions on the matter.

Also, what if fans are under the influence of a hypnotist????

A mexican wave will not be tollerated and will be deemed as major crowd control trouble.

Any mexicans will therefore be tied to all seating prior to kick off.

All men must urinate whilst sat down to minimize the risk of spray

Could be a new tradition here though, we've had cakes to Rochdale and suits for last game, how about sharpest implament at warrington

Chanting at or near the resonant frequency of the stadium, irrespective of what that may be in Hz, is strictly forbidden as this may damage the structure of the stadium.

Instead chanting shall not be done in unison due to the problem of increase in amplitude of vibration at resonance and the possible collapse of the stadium.

Chanting shall therefore be done on an individual basis, not collectively, and in a phased way so as to minimise risk.
Chanting shall also be done in a muted way so as to further reduce risk.

Also each supporter will have to have completed a risk assessment form to demonstrate that they have taken the duties and responsibilities of being a supporter and all that that may entail into account.

Research has shown that supporting cannot be treated in the same casual way it once was. Although supporting still comes with certain rights, albeit very limited, more importantly supporting comes with important responsibilities.
Supporters lose sight of these new changes at their peril!

Anyway, no doubt we will think of more ways to improve your safety at matches, but until such times please be careful and above all enjoy yourselves responsibly.

Yours
Very pernickety

What if you're not a brown tourist?

This applies to those huge flags which go across the crowd NOT the little 5x3 flags you can buy online etc. Applied to all grounds. Even Wembley tell you "5x3" or "big flag with certificate" (funny that they dont appear to be able to cope with anything inbetween.)
