Covid Awareness for Match Days: We have made the decision that from our perspective it is still mandatory for masks to be worn when entering or moving around in the marquee, other than when seated for hospitality. Please social distance where possible, use hand sanitiser (available at the main entry points), and endeavour to keep physical contact to an absolute minimum. Handshakes and hugging should be avoided.
All of us looked forward to having supporters back at The Mennaye, however ‘One & All’ will also appreciate that due caution is still wise.
We must continue to protect training and playing environments as best can, with practical controls on match days a continuing necessity. By doing this we help protect the health of everyone and at the same time reduce the risk of games being cancelled and there any disruption to training.
Last season’s Red Zone principles and protocols will remain for the time being, including reinforcing the need for a clear 2 metre gap between spectators and occupants of the Red Zone (Players, Coaches, Match Officials, and certain other personnel). Red Zone areas include such as the playing field, changing rooms, and certain reserved area in the stands.
Supporters should be aware that Stewards will monitor movements of everyone inside the ground. Their usual presence, however, is naturally to help and give advice where needed, so please show them the respect they deserve.
It is advised that supporters may wish to take a voluntary lateral flow test within 48 hours of attending the event. Tests are free and can be ordered through this link:

With reference to post match, it is especially important to note that unfortunately no interaction will be allowed between players and supporters until they have left the red zones for the day, this includes entering the hospitality area after the game.
Hospitality: Hospitality numbers have been very encouraging this season and present confirmed dates for league games are sold out. As for the Cup fixtures that follow, please liaise with our Hospitality & Events Coordinator, Liz McLean – email [email protected]
