Supporter info – unacceptable behaviour, pitch incursions, missiles & pyrotechnics

PYROTECHNICS:
It is an offence for a person, without reasonable excuse, to possess a pyrotechnic article while the person is in a public area or at a designated venue or while at a designated event.

Do not pick up any pyrotechnic devices as you don’t know what type it is. Some explode after flaring or smoking. These can seriously injure your or kill you. Smoke alone can have serious health issues for asthmatics and those with bronchial or other health issues.

Please note, supporters are politely reminded use of pyrotechnic smoke devices inside and outside the stadium is prohibited and the use of these objects is endangering themselves and others. Anyone caught in possession or using a pyro device will face criminal action and will be banned from Pittodrie.

PROHIBITED ITEMS:
Weapons, knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety.

No items should ever be thrown within the seating decks or on top the trackside or pitch.

THROWING OF OBJECTS:

Do not throw any objects, especially over the segregation and trackside fences.

CONTROLLED CONTAINERS:
It is a criminal offence for any person to enter or attempt to enter the Ground: whilst in possession of a container or any other item which is or was capable of holding liquid or any other thing and which, if thrown, would be capable of causing injury to another person; or whilst in possession of alcohol; and/or 3 whilst drunk.

INCURSIONS:
Please do not enter onto the track or field of play unless instructed to do so by Stewards or Police. This can lead to ejection from the stadium and arrest.

SMOKING/VAPING:
The seating decks and concourses are designated no smoking areas, and this includes E-cigarettes.

DAMAGE:
Any damage caused to seating will cost your club, and that includes, toilets and other fitments.

FLAGS:
No surfing flags or excessively large poles unless agreed by the host club. Flags and banners must conform to the relevant fire regulations. No flags to overhang advertising boards or cause obstruction or danger to other members of the public. The size and content of the flag is at the discretion of the home club Safety Team.

VENUE SECURITY:
All spectators are reminded that security is the responsibility of all those at the ground and not just safety and security personnel. If you see something suspicious or unsafe, please report this to the nearest member of stadium staff, Steward or Club Staff Member.

GROUND REGULATIONS – UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT:
As at all fixtures, unacceptable conduct will not be tolerated. Any individuals attending the match who are found to have engaged in unacceptable conduct may have disciplinary action taken against them. Unacceptable Conduct may also lead to criminal charges.

Aberdeen FC operate a zero‐tolerance policy towards racism. Inappropriate/offensive songs should not be sung and dependant on the content, could be followed up by the clubs and Police Scotland.
