INFORMATION FOR SUPPORTERS TRAVELLING TO CELTIC PARK.
The following information was received after the pre-ops meeting this week:
GETTING TO THE GAME
The weather forecast shows that it will be about 6 degrees, cloudy with a 20% of rain and 5 mph winds.
Please check local and national radio for ongoing trouble spots. Supporters are advised to routinely check the Transport and Traffic Scotland websites for live updates; www.transportscotland.gov.uk and www.trafficscotland.org
Listen to traffic updates on the radio as you travel and plan to arrive at the stadium in plenty of time.
Supporters coaches and minibuses are advised to park in Springfield Road. A Police presence has been asked for in the area and will be briefed to the officers on duty.
AT THE STADIUM
Aberdeen supporters will be accommodated in sections 119 -120 at Celtic Park. Access is via turnstiles 66 & 67 which open at 1.30pm. Please arrive as early as possible to ensure that you get in before kick-off at 3pm.
Stewards and Police will be vigilant at the turnstiles and supporters should expect to be searched. All bags will be searched and tagged. If you don’t need your bag, don’t take it. Tickets are for allocated seating. This is particularly important due to restricted view seating, which is prevalent in the area. Please respect any requests by Stewards or Police.
There is no smoking permitted in the stadium and strictly no pyrotechnic devices.
Please expect any flags to be examined for their content before being allowed entry.
Celtic FC implement the same rules and regulations surrounding unacceptable behaviour as Aberdeen FC, so please abide by these. Please refer to Celtic FC’s website for more information.
Please act responsibly and report any unacceptable conduct to Stewards or Police at the time. Self-policing is strongly advised to minimise problems.
Thanks for your support and safe travels everyone COYR!
SAFETY MESSAGE
Please note – the throwing of any objects is strictly prohibited. This has been high profile at a number of games recently. The use of pyrotechnic smoke has also occurred at two recent games. Please note It is illegal to discharge these devices in public places. The smoke alone can have serious health issues for asthmatics and those with bronchial or other health issues. DO NOT attempt to pick any device up after flaring or smoking as they can cause serious injuries. Thank you.
