Supporters are also reminded that in line with legislation and the EFL ground regulations, the entire stadium, including the seating areas, concourses, stairways, turnstiles and toilets, is a no-smoking area. The use of electronic cigarettes in all parts of the stadium is also forbidden.
Supporters are also asked not to bring bags to the stadium. Where this is unavoidable, all bags will need to be searched before entry can be allowed. Items included on the EFL ground regulations that are deemed to be a potential risk, including bottles and aerosols, will not be allowed into the stadium.
In addition, supporters will not be allowed to record or live-stream any of the live match action. The Club has been reminded by the EFL of its obligations to prevent live footage of the game being stored, recorded or transmitted and stewards will take appropriate action if this regulation is contravened.
Some supporters have still not collected their season tickets for the 2018/19 season. The ticket office will be open at 9am on Saturday until Kick-Off for season ticket collections. If you are wanting to attend the Coventry game and still have to collect your ticket, please get down to the stadium first thing in the morning. Due to the potential for congestion in the North West Corner after the match with people leaving the stadium for the same safety reasons, the ticket office will not open at all after the final whistle.
A reminder to all supporters that the road closure on Midland Road that was in place last season will continue for all Home League Matches for this season.
Enjoy the game!
