Additional Information & COVID-19 Safety

• If you’re planning to visit us this week, please be as considerate as you can to other spectators and the staff at the Club. As we see some easing of National Covid restrictions we are inviting visitors to observe as many of the previous considerations as possible; many of which are listed below. As always, your patience and understanding means a lot as we all adjust to these latest changes
• We do encourage spectators to wear face masks when moving around the ground but as before, this is not necessary when in your seat or when eating / drinking.
• Although the ground is now general access and we are not allocating seats for this fixture we would encourage visitors to provide space for those around them and we would encourage you to keep social distancing in mind when close to others.
• Please do not travel to the ground if you or any of your household or recent close contacts are displaying any of the Covid-19 symptoms
• Lateral flow tests and proof of vaccination are no longer a condition of entry, but again, we would encourage visitors to think of other spectators and if possible undertake a lateral flow test within 24 hours of visiting the ground.
• The players and match officials area (PMOA) will remain exactly as it has been so far this season with no direct access to the playing squads for autographs etc
• Please ensure you apply sun cream and have a hat to protect you from the sun. The Bristol County Ground has no covering, so please therefore ensure you cover up 
• If you are cycling to the ground, you can place your bike at the bike racks located at the Ashley Down Road End and Nevil Road End of the ground.
