U14 Policy
Children aged 13 years and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over who has purchased a membership/season ticket / match ticket for themselves and the child.
At the point of purchase of either a membership/season ticket or match ticket, you must be 14 years old or over. Any tickets for under 14’s must be purchased by an adult over 18 years of age.
Anyone under 14 years of age must be sat / stood with their responsible adult or at least in the same part of the ground (i.e. College Road / Main Stand, Crosender Stand or Jubilee Stand), where they can have a clear view of the young person they are responsible for.
If the child / young person becomes separated from their responsible adult, they should report to a ground steward who will assist.
In the event of any unacceptable behaviour from anyone under the age of 14 who is not under the direct supervision of a responsible adult, the child / young person involved will be escorted to a safe place and the guardian will be approached if known where they are in the ground or will be requested to collect the child via tannoy call, appropriate measures will then be taken depending on the incident at hand.
If anyone under the age of 14 is found to be in the ground unaccompanied, every effort will be made to contact a parent / guardian or other family member via telephone to come and collect them.
If we are unable to contact a suitable adult, then police will be informed and take responsibility for the individual involved.
