What procedures have been put in place to ensure the Bristol County Ground is a safe venue?

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have been working hard to make sure the Bristol County Ground follows all UK Government and local guidelines to allow us to re-open to the public safely.

We know things can change and we’ve made our approach flexible so we can react to any changes to the guidelines, when necessary.

As part of this, we have introduced a number of new and improved health, safety and cleanliness procedures to provide greater reassurance to all visitors as part of Our Promise in response to COVID-19.

• Hygiene & Cleanliness – New and improved cleaning procedures are in place and we will provide a high level of hand sanitiser dispensers around the stadium.
• Contact Free Catering – Food and drink will be prepared on-site, maintaining the Bristol County Ground’s quality, wide range of choices and fresh produce.
• Enhanced Technology – Utilising the latest technology and offering a contactless entry into the stadium and latest match information, the Club has also introduced a new Club App which gives supporters the option to purchase drinks directly from the App.
• Staff Fully Trained – All staff are fully trained and working to new operational procedures.
• Communication – Ticket buyers will have regular communications from the Club ensuring that they have all the relevant information before and on match days.

We Are Now Cashless

In common with many others and to provide a safer and cleaner environment, the Bristol County Ground is now cashless, so please make sure you come prepared with your debit or credit card should you want to purchase refreshments.
